Anyone else getting ridiculous political emails from friends going on and on about mostly Hillary and Obama?

Jeesh, If I believed half of what I read in these emails I would leave the country! :scared1:

Are people that afraid of a woman or a man of color?:confused3

Not saying who I would vote for, but these emails just seem a little ridiculous to believe.

I agree with you. I hardly believe anything that comes through my email these days. You can check a lot of them out on www.snopes.com to see how valid they are. They're mostly made up of half truths...:sad2:

Anyone can write anything about anybody and start passing it around via email. Just remember - no one fact checks these emails. Best just to delete them unread and get your information on the candidates from better sources.

Rest assured, I'm an educated voter. But I am just shocked at some of the things that my "friends" have been sending me about a few of the candidates.

Some of it is laughable! :happytv:

Orlando Mike --

Thank you so much for reminding me of one of pet-peeves about my last place of employment -- the ignorant knuckle-dragging emails I used to get (for my own good and enlightenment -- of course). What can possibly motivate otherwise kind and reasonably thoughtful people to buy into this stuff? Sad...:sad2:

Unforunately I think a lot of americans are.
fwiw there are many reasons I do not like Hilary...........her gender has absolutely nothing to do with it.
