Comments on: Néstor Kirchner And The Politics Of Fear http://www.argentinepost.com/2009/04/nestor-kirchner-and-the-politics-of-fear.html Information & Insight on Argentina Sun, 05 Feb 2012 17:45:44 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Taos Turner http://www.argentinepost.com/2009/04/nestor-kirchner-and-the-politics-of-fear.html#comment-1979 Taos Turner Fri, 01 May 2009 02:59:51 +0000 http://www.argentinepost.com/?p=1824#comment-1979 Hey Dani, Interesting points. While I don't agree fully with that you're saying, there's some validity to your points. It's always harder for the incumbent to be the "hope for better" candidate. Even so, what your points miss is the fact that the Kirchners have always campaigned and governed based largely on negative rhetoric and the destruction of any opposition or opposing views. If you disagree with them, you're a coupmonger, in their view. That's the politics of fear. Cheers, Taos Hey Dani,

Hope is frequently the theme of opposition campaigns, and fear the theme of the governing party's campaigns (which is also true for McCain's campaign in the last few weeks before the election). So, while you can say it's a matter of style, it is also (and mostly) a matter of position (I don't think that the next Obama campaign, after governing four years, will be able to rely that much on hope. He most likely will remind voters of how bad things were when republicans ran the country). Well, the comparison with Obama maybe nice, but not useful and a little deceiving.

If they do not winn they have no strategies, no material no talent to a dialog, no contingency plans, consens, change of ideas, zilch, nada. It should go "my way" and when Im talking you are a dog, keep your mouth shut policy. He probably lost his image, and did not care about her image. He's the one and only abusing her publicly....if I where her, Iwould had smached my fry pan on his head....BUT and here is the straberry to put on the cake. She missed the whole point because of her rigid brain disk there is no room for thinking, she just agreed with him Therefore she is giving him all the rights to acknowledge that she is incompetent and unable to continue if the other guys winn. Even Alberto felt that a big amount of wrong words are spred already doing more armn than good. Nestor needs to go to a psych ward yesterday and have a soup of mechanical restrains my assessment
