Longbow, Democrats don't use fear. They use appeal to avarice, envy, covetousness, even vengeance.

The GOP, on the other hand, used Fear of Obama to get righteous people to vote for an amoral statist liberal like Romney.

Both are instances of people throwing temper tantrums because they didn't get their way.

Statements like these, any time comparing the "wrong" side as being like children, are becoming a litmus test for me. That mindset reveals an ugly arrogance and presumption, a combination of pompousness and contempt. Worthy of ignoring on that principle alone.

We're all adults here, FRiend.

Longbow1969 sounds just like Michael Medved.
