But there's a subtle difference between our fear and theirs... I hope it won't be too subtle for you to understand.
We are afraid of the continuation of almost eight years of the most dictatorial, dishonest, carefully-hidden, constitutionally ignorant (in both senses of the words), vile, evil, destructive government in the history of the US. Our fears are based on demonstrable reality and recent historical facts.
Without any verifiable evidence, "they" are afraid Obama/Biden is trying to work some kind of destructive subterfuge in and on our nation on behalf of some massive-but-undefinable evil force.
We are justifiably afraid because there is a great deal of evidence that McCain will really just be McSame and we see ample evidence of what the results of that will be.
They are afraid of the boogey man.
Do you see the difference?
