Never vote for Fear - President Bill Clinton's Advice on dealing with Fear Mongering Advertisements

[powergirl]

Some sage advice to the electorate when viewing the telephone advertisement

from 2004:

Now one of Clinton’s laws of politics is this: If one candidate’s trying to scare you and the other one’s trying to get you to think, if one candidate’s appealing to your fears and the other one’s appealing to your hopes, you better vote for the person who wants you to think and hope.

Amen Big Dawg!
