“I Don’t Even Know You Anymore”: PAC505 Struggles with Victory

Date November 13, 2008

After having defined ourselves as members of a counter-movement for some time now, PAC505 is undergoing a bit of an identity crisis as we try to understand and redefine our role now that we got what we wanted.  Are we cheerleaders?  An external leftward pressure on the new powers that be?  What do we do [...]

New Mexico Republicans to Xenophobe Stirman: “Encore!”

Date November 6, 2008

Apparently the winds of change, tolerance, intelligence, have yet to blow through parts of Otero County.  According to the Alamogordo Daily News, Republican visionary Marcia Stirman, who, in one foul breath last month mislabeled our new president a Muslim and, more disturbingly, declared Muslim people to be enemies of America, was re-elected to her post [...]

America the Sublime

Date November 5, 2008

Lacking words to reflect on what happened last night or our gratitude toward Obama and this renewed nation, PAC505 leaves you with a youtube version of the slideshow that we projected during the election party last night, and an e-mail we received directly from Noam Chomsky a few months ago that reminds us all of [...]

Will Steve Pearce Part with the Tainted Money He Received from Convicted Felon Ted Stevens?

Such a gesture would help fight the [...]

Obama Rally in Albuquerque: The Line

Date October 26, 2008

For those of us who didn’t have it together to get to the Obama rally early last night, much of our time was spent in a mind-boggling line that stretched from Johnson Field west along Redondo Drive to University, north along University all the way to Lomas, and then up Lomas a few hundred yards [...]

The Rise of Extremism within the NM Republican Party

Date October 24, 2008

While it is easy to marginalize the statements of Marcia Stirman as the ravings of a xenophobic wacko, her extreme belief system reflects the character of the New Mexico Republican Party.  Last month, Fernando C de Baca explained to the world that Obama won’t win New Mexico because elder New Mexico Hispanics look down on [...]

Palin/Stirman 2012!

Date October 22, 2008

This is a letter (though it reads more like a poem) that NM Otero County Republican Women Chair Marcia Stirman wrote to the Alamogordo Daily News, as reported today by the Albuquerque Journal.  In it, she outlines a controversial argument in favor of waging war against Barack Obama.  Food for thought!
