Hope Vs. Fear. That's what it comes down to.

[Turanga Leela]

Fear is all the have. This is so transparently a desperate move to counter the smiling optimism of Edwards and the upbeat photos of the Kerry/Edwards family.

I have to believe that people will, in the end, choose hope. Fear and hate are, in the long run, a dead end. Nothing good can come from fear.

It is possible to be vigilant and aware, yet still upbeat and optimistic. Hope and enthusiasm are not the same as naivete. I hope that Kerry/Edwards understands how to get that message across.

The more of this crap they pull, the more I believe we will win.

Unless they mess with the elections. Then my 32 year-old housewife ass will be OUT IN THE STREETS. Bank on it.

1. I think you are right

This has been the most negative campaign in a long time--it's all they got; and they aren't coming up with anything positive. They can't talk about their accomplishments because their aren't any.

I think people are noticing.

2. No, it fear vs fear. Fear of our enemies vs fear of our own government.

either way, it's a bad, bad situation. If this administration doesn't have FEAR, they have nothing to offer this country.

3. They are "hopeful" and "optomistic" that

our residual fears from the eleventh will prevent us from becoming the same. IOW, don't ever allow us to even think of becoming "safe" - which we aren't because they said so.

Now, watch this drive!

I've been lurking for a looonnng time...I've been a member for a while, but I've posted infrequently. I'm just feeling talkative today.

6. You hit the nail on the head! And a talking point for the K-E Campaign!

Why not forward it to them?

Also, their "Fear Factor" includes:

Intimidation, cheap shots and manipulation. And worldwide loss of trust in the U.S. and decreased international security.

The "Hope Factor" includes:

Vision, straight talk, and empowerment. And restoration of our good name and toward peace worldwide.

Welcome to you!
