"if one candidate’s appealing to your fears and the other one’s appealing to your hopes"

[Coexist]

"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."

2004 for Bush, too.

5. Thank you

6. A very good argument against St. Obama

Hillary will "unite the opposition." Hillary is "polarizing and divisive" even among Dems -- a proven falsehood.

It's a sham based altogether on fear -- though it freely masquerades as something it is not.

8. Cuts both ways...

...but mainly against St. McCain.
