There are some who have not emailed back. In fact, one relative who just happens to be a teacher in a swing state public school system (who has already told me that he plans to vote for Obama) has not sent back any reaction to the article. That is unfortunate. I would like to have known his reaction to what was written in the article. I can just imagine the pressure to vote Obama in any public school system! Something like 95% of them are probably liberal Democrats!
No one in their right mind (ha! - right mind indeed!) would ever want to reveal to those taken in by the rabid Obamabot machine (who often lash back at non-supporters) that they would rather vote McCain/Palin '08 on election day! However, as the article stated, in the privacy of the voting booth - many will probably do just that!
Because of the fact that I don't have all of the email addresses of regular readers here, I am posting my original email message:
Dear Friends,
I ran across the following article (link below) a few days ago and posted it in the comment section of my blog. It has given so many people much hope (the real kind - not the Obamabot type) about this election.
No one knows who will ultimately win. I know that most of you are praying for McCain/Palin '08 to be victorious on election day. I am praying for them to win, too.
The media (a.k.a the "Media of Mass Deception" - MMD) would have us all believe that Obama has this thing all wrapped up. Don't believe that! When you read the article - you will know why I can confidently state this opinion.
If you witnessed the last debate, "Joe the Plumber" has now become a household name. He has been viciously attacked (on the MMD, Internet, and left-wing blogs) by the Obama campaign and their rabid supporters ever since. However, he has been embraced by conservatives (has appeared on Huckabee's show - Fox News and Fox and Friends); most of whom don't want Obama's socialism taking over this country.
The man simply asked Obama a question: will my taxes go up (when he buys a plumbing business and makes over $200,000 per year) under your tax plan?
Obama made a huge mistake. He revealed his socialistic plans when in his answer, he stated he wants to "spread the wealth around."
I have already written the following on another blog:
Wouldn't it be great if "Joe the Plumber" SINKS Obama's run for the presidency? ha ha!! Sorry - couldn't resist the pun!
Please take the time to read the following article and spread it around to EVERYONE you know:
The title is "The Left's Big Blunder." It is a FASCINATING read!
I hope and pray that those who think Obama's socialism will somehow "save" our country and believe that the majority of Americans are voting for him will think twice about such beliefs after reading this article!
God bless!

Hi, I am a chinese money manager following your election from SEAsia.
I am quite surprised that so many americans would favor Mr.Obama over Mr.McCain because it is so clear that Obama’s economic policies(what I can see from them because he keeps changing tune) would be utterly disastrous for your american economy.
It’s obvious that your recent stockmarket plunge was also exacerbated by us foreign investors RE-RATING your US markets downwards due to fear of what an Obama presidency might do to your economy.
The only reason why your currency keeps its remaining value is because of your country’s military power to enforce the worldwide financial system and also force OPEC to take US dollars for their oil. Also the very large and mostly desirable-to-invest-in US economy, with its predictable legal structure and so on. Any president like Mr.Obama that would weaken this paradigm by a naive foreign policy and higher taxes would be disastrous economically and financially for you americans.
I really hope that you americans show some intelligence and vote in McCain, because the rest of the world needs a strong US economy, not the type of socialist/communist bullshit we have worked to get rid of in SEAsia, but we still have (sigh).
Your Obama, with his smirking and lying all the time, his naked ambition power-grab concealed by populist rhetoric, truly reminds me of the worst genocidal dictators we used to have here in SEAsia.
One lie that really made me laugh was the fiction that this economic mess is all the fault of the Bush Admin. Please, we earn our living from knowing what you americans are doing and years ago, most of our big funds saw your financial crisis coming. That’s why asia is largely unhurt by your subprime crisis, because all the big funds here never bought any of your mortgage-backed securities. Nobody believed in them, so nobody except a few unfortunate ones bought them.
If your Fannie and Freddie had not imploded under all those subprime loans and mortgage backed securities, which then triggered of[f] the credit swap derivative crash, I’ll bet your stockmarket crash would not be this bad. And Freddie and Fannie and democrat institutions, just like the US army is a republican institution.
Certainly more regulation was needed, especially for the credit swap derivatives, but who were the ones pushing all these subprime mortgages and allowing a huge production pipeline and market to expand exponentially in mortgage-backed securities? Who blocked regulation of Fannie and Freddie? Your democrats.
We already had our own financial disaster in the late 90s, and yours was building up just like ours, like some massive third world multi-marketing pyramid scheme going bad.
Fortunately we had no Obama to further worsen the situation for us.
It’s great to see an african american running for the US presidency, but it’s sad to see that it is someone like Obama with his communist/socialist leanings. My hypothetical “world” vote is NOBAMA.
Couldn't have said it better...except for the fact that I would have mentioned the names of the Democrats who were most responsible for the corruption, and ultimate failure of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. To name just a few:
1. Chris Dodd
2. Barney Frank
3. Nancy Pelosi
4. Harry Reid
5. Maxine Waters
6. Joe Biden
7. Barack Obama
8. Charles Schumer
But, don't just take my word for it. See the evidence for yourself!
What's more, See just who benefitted from the corruption and who tried to stop the corruption going on as a result of the Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac abuses - John McCain!
