Reply #5: Does this man know his fellow Americans?? 9/11 & Bush popularity should've given him a clue [View All]

Americans are NOT motivated by hope. They are inspired and motivated by FEAR. It's worked for the GNOP each election cycle, and it's working for them again.

The Dems have lost so many times because they tried to campaign on policy, being considered "too boring" to even listen to. The majority of voting America will not even look up unless something scares them enough to.

I'm sorry, but Charles Blow is wrong. If you want to know how to win an election you don't bore your voters to death. You scare them, and it isn't hard considering the t-buggers that have won primaries so far.

Just look at Dubya Bush as example. His numbers before 9/11 were in the mid 40's, they shot into the high 80's afterward, even from Progressives, Liberals, and Democrats alike, many, believing that Saddam had WMDs when there was absolutely NO proof he did.
