So which party is running on a platform of fear mongoring?? Seems it could be argued either way. Let's who can come up with the most examples and then let's analyze them and see if the fears are real, or hype...


Democrat fears being pushed:
1) GW will start up the draft
2) No-Child Left Behind Act allows the military recruiters the same access to High School students as college, universitie, and corporate recruiters. (a suposed "back door draft")
3) Christian fundamenatalists taking over the country!!
4) Losing our freedom due to things such as the Patriot Act
5) Natural disasters linked to bad environmental policies - global warming, etc
6) Election hijacking\tampering

Republicans:
1) Fear of socialism and communism creeping into our government and education system
2) Govt and Education system being taken over by special interest groups (enviromentalists, gays, women libbers, etc)
3) fear of giant tax increases to cover big government programs

Both:
1) Terrorism (kinda broad - could be broken out I guess) - actual threat = very real. Since both sides use this - it comes down to who you side with - will GW or JFKerry make things better or worse??

Anyway - I don't want to steal all the good ones - so chime in if you have any good ones
