Email Response

I wrote the following in response to an email I received this morning, that was in response to the email I sent out yesterday, and posted here early this morning. Apparently, this person either did not read all of the email or the only point they got from it, which was not even a point I was trying to make, was that I was voting for Obama. That was all the person emailed back to me was, "you are voting for Obama?" From this I can gather that no one really cares about truth in this country.

Yes, but that was not the point. The point was for people to know who they are voting for and to focus on real political issues. I am tired of people wanting to talk to be about Palin's daughter having a baby. That is not a political issue. That has nothing do with how anyone should vote. I am also tired of people sending me this email. I do not mind funny jokes making fun of any of them but spreading rumors and lies about Obama, Bidden, Palin, or McCain is harmful. I put Palin first in front of McCain, because I am in-love with her as a person. I may not agree with her on politics but she is hilarious. There are too many people in this world who take those things (non-political issuse) seriously and that his how they vote. There are people who are not going to vote for McCain because Palin is a woman, and there are people who will not vote for Obama because he is black. We as intelligent people have to take responsibility for those people and be careful what we say around uniformed people. People who will believe that McCain thinks we should kill Obama (I am paraphrasing some of the things that have been said at his rallies) are not intelligent enough to know that McCain does not feel that way, and when people spend there time repeating it and sending out mass emails saying such, it takes way form his platform. And the same goes for Obama, when things like this are sent out. Now, when I first got the email I did not know if it was true or not, which is why I checked it out. Most people are not responsible enough to do such things. They just go oh that is true and run with it. Most of the time, I ignore it, taking comfort in the fact that I did what I was supposed to do and double checked the facts, but this particular email I kept getting and getting. So I figure if people thought it was important enough to keeping sending it to me it was important enough for me to send out my email. I would have done it if someone had sent such a thing about McCain. It had nothing to do with who I am voting for. As far as I can tell no Democrat has sent me anything about McCain, aside from a few jokes, but I have gotten those about Obama also. I don't forwards things, except on rare occasions. Hell, I almost never read forwards so I am sure I have gotten more than just this one email about either one of them. I am an issues person and feel people should focus on those and when they hear rumors/non issue things they should research and judge from there how they want to vote. I think I said some of this at the end of the email.

That was my response. I still do not know if what I said actually got through to this person, but hopefully they not fully understand the point I was trying to make.
