<snip>Sage observations from Democratic Underground:
Salesmen use a strategy to get their customers to buy things they don't really need. It's called fear. They try to create an urgency and talk about the dangers of not buying the product. People then buy things they don't need and accept the costs of doing so. That's what Republicans do. A nd they do it with terror and the issue of national security.
Fear is how Hitler got Germans to accept fascism. It's why FDR told us that there was nothing to fear but fear itself. It's why Clinton was the boy from Hope.
Democrats need to look at the current crop of candidates and decide which one raises the issue of hope. Which one doesn't make fear his or her message. That Democrat that does this the best will be the one who wins in 2004.

It would seem no message would resonate more with a public weary of war and economic pessimism than one of "hope."
That central theme, more than ever before, would promise an end to the relentless economic deterioration and warmongering/exploitation of the Bush regime that have zapped our nation's optimism for the future.
