$500 from 1 person to Republicans $1,950 from 3 people to Democrats

That site is creepy.

Details of the US election mostly don’t interest me, but wtf, Utrecht campaign?

Right, I get it now, it redirects to the sponsors nearest to you I suppose…never mind

I actually think the transparency is not a bad thing, but perhaps the reporting threshhold is too low. I mean, is it a little creepy? Yes, but not really in the context of other public displays of information, and certainly not when you factor in the Google effect. Are there instances when someone knowing your political preferences could limit your access to speech? I think that could be compelling. There is no need to list people’s home addresses, though. A simple city (assuming pop is >X) would be sufficient.

Oh ya this is a creepy tool to aid in profiling a person. There are many cases that your employer or colleagues or the big brother wants to know your political preferences. The higher up you go in your workplace, especially if you work in govt agencies or govt. contractors you are a likley target of profiling. On a similar note there have appeared laws banning improper use of genetic information in health insurance and employment ; pretty soon I guess it should be applied to google/web information about you. In this computer crazed era this will also bring attention to work-place computer use.

I wonder what McCain thinks about that

He probably wants to fight the Martians over there, so we don’t have to fight them here.

Ha Ha Ha

I still think it’s creepy and, actually, I don’t want to know how everyone around me votes. What’s transparent about knowing how your neighbor, who is not running for office and just living his or her own private little life, spends his or her own money? Look, we are moving into a post-privacy world thanks to technology, but, it doesn’t mean I have to like it.

i have enjoyed my trips into guelph but not really. Are you from there? i will highly recommend their soap btw. seriously though, i find vets to be the finest people around – perhaps it comes with treating animals – the mix of plainspokenness and compassion is extremely endearing. i went to a uni that was renowned for its agri school, and i got to know some vets deeply. it was a very favorable impression.

There is no need to list people’s home addresses, though. A simple city (assuming pop is >X) would be sufficient.

Its worth noting that scientists, philosophers, professors, teachers, lawyers, IT professionals, physicians, CEOs, CFOs etc trend Democrat while soldiers, security guards, farmers, stockbrokers, bankers, federal employees etc trend Republican.
