I READ THIS LAST NIGHT AND I THINK YOU SHOULD TOO!!

Friends, this is worth a two minute read. You have to respect a guy that puts
down his phone and e-mail.






Most Americans are aware of Bill Lear, because of his Lear Jet business;
however, he has accomplished much more, as you can see at this link: William
P. Lear -- Britannica Online Encyclopedia . His opinions are worth a read:


A Humble Plea to McCain and Obama Supporters:

Dear Friends,

I am truly astonished by the ignorance Obama supporters have displayed in their
quest to get someone - ANYONE - into the White House. Now, wait a minute. I can
well understand your dislike or even hatred of our clown, GWB, but he is not the
root cause of all of our problems. Our Congress is. And a change there would be
welcomed by all. You ain't gonna get it done with Obama. You gotta fire the
whole damnable crooked Congress. (Read my book, "BERNIE'S WAR!").

Perhaps I'm looking at all of this from a different perspective than you because
my life experiences have been so different from yours. I'm 80-years old and have
traveled the world where I've seen a great deal. I spent five years on active
duty as a fighter pilot in the USAF and another seven years flying with the Air
National Guard in California and Texas, as well as a few years flying in the
USAF Reserve. I spent three years on active duty in Germany flying Czech border
patrol with "cold guns" in aircraft inferior to the MIG during the Korean
"Police Action" when it was thought that Korea was a diversion for a Soviet
invasion of Western Europe.

I lived abroad for a total of 28 years. Three years in Germany, twenty years in
Switzerland and five years in Great Britain where I was based doing "spook" work
for the U.S. behind the Iron Curtain before it fell. During that era of the Cold
War I ventured to Moscow, Prague, Warsaw, Bucharest, Peshawar, Pakistan and
Bulgaria posing as a Swiss French-speaking arms dealer purchasing weapons we
surreptitiously supplied to the Afghani Mujahedeen in their successful fight
against the Soviets - all of which came back to haunt us.
I've been there and done that and have had close associations with top
government people in Germany, the Netherlands and Great Britain. I've had more
foreign affair experience than Obama could ever dream of and, yet, wouldn't have
the temerity to deign myself "Presidential" material; although I feel eminently
more qualified to judge who would NOT be best for our country. My long-time
world experience should count for something in my plea to you to abandon this
miscreant flake. You will only be doing yourself and our country an enormous
disservice if you persist in your support of this flash-in-the-pan opportunist.
On this, you MUST trust me.

I've associated closely with European royalty and African politicians. I've
traveled to the Far East to observe their cultures. My point is that Obama,
although formally well educated and a brilliant orator, is a neophyte when it
comes to understanding the world and is uniquely unqualified for the job as
President of these great United States. His knowledge of economics is nil and
his tax proposals absurd and life-threatening to the U.S. not only in economic
terms but in preserving our national security as well. I don't want a "citizen
of the world" to be President, I want a citizen of the good old USA to be
President. Screw the rest of the world as they have well and truly screwed us.
The time has come for us to awaken and start looking after ourselves. Now THAT
would be CHANGE if that's what you're looking for.

While McCain has abstained from playing "the race-card", Obama is playing it to
the hilt even though he's technically not an African-American. To qualify for
this distinction you must be at least one-sixth black. Obama is only one-eighth.
His father would be, as he was one-sixth. No, Obama is more Muslim than black
yet he trades on his blackness.
The larger question I have about him is that we really don't know much about him
other than what HE tells us, what we read on blogs and from some serious
non-partisan investigators whose factual reports are, unfortunately, generally
ignored and which receive precious little media exposure.

I, as a registered Independent, a military veteran and a patriot, beseech you to
put aside party considerations and vote for the lesser of the two evils. Yes, I
am NOT a McCain supporter, but he is, at least, not a flake, doesn't carry
Muslim baggage and is a PROVEN hero and patriot WITH experience. It's not a
party issue. It's all about electing the best we can trust with what we've got
to work with. Mr. Obama is NOT that guy.

Please, please rethink your voting position. Thanks for reading my innermost
thoughts. I care about all of you, but I care more about our country. Please
help me to do both.
