Final word on BlueCollar’s speculative cynicism.
Dear, dear Liberals…take a cleansing breath, and think logically.
(We know, we know – not an easy thing to ask of Liberals.)
There’s a difference between a bomb and a dud: one’s designed to explode, the other isn’t. Bombs cause physical damage; duds can only cause a psychological effect.
And, make no mistake – these are DELIBERATE duds.
Arguably, then, if we’re postulating psychological outcomes, pre-election dud-mailing hoaxes are meant to affect election results…by manipulating pre-election emotions.
But arguments that such dud-mailing hoaxes will suppress the vote aren’t logical – How can mailing a dud to Robert DeNiro scare a Kansas or Florida voter into not voting?
The voting process is by secret ballot, so no individual can feel threatened since no one will know how a vote was cast. Thus, a dud-mailing hoax can only sway sympathy…that just might be sufficient to drive votes toward the perceived Party threatened.
Once more, we remind our readers…make no mistake – these are DELIBERATE duds.
Logic determines conclusion. Ask – who benefits from a dud-mailing hoax?
Who needs the sympathy vote – the Party IN power…or the Party SEEKING power?
Take your time. Work on it.
