It shows the difference the two parties have embraced: appeals to the very worst versus appelas to our intellect and sense of <insert the platitude of the day>.  Scaring the bejesus out of people works really well at arousing passions, but it creates many more problems than is cures (if it cures any at all).  The more reasoned approach puts even the interested to sleep in short order, though it pushes us toward real though boring solutiins.  And its' not uniques to the USA.  Look at Liz Truss the new UK Prime Minister for a picturebook ideal of the scare 'em model.

I wish it was otherwise.
