I think its funny how far a free-thinking liberal has to go in providing his or her liberal bona fides in the context of arguing that maybe Bush is just incompetent instead of diabolically evil in this one small instance.

Tipsters-

Ok. You expect me to believe that the current administration is resorting to (wait for it) subtlety? I just don't think the conspriacy thing holds up in this case. What other issue, among the many, are they subtle about? As a tree hugging, vegetable eating, red meat disliking, anarchistic, Bush detester of a liberal, I have to say, "Maybe they made a mistake?" :) Tim

Paul Brandon hypothesized:

 

 

 

"Actually, I think that they knew it would be caught.

 

The point was for the Bushies to be able to tell their base "well, we

 

tried; you see how evil the other guys are" and make political points.

 

It's the same strategy as the (anti) gay marriage amendments that

 

have no chance of passing, but whose presence on the ballot

 

guarantees that the trogolodytes will get out and vote."

 

 

 

I don't think that the marriage amendments are the best example of

electoral chum (something that has no chance of passing but serves only

to get out the extremists on your side to vote). A google search for

state marriage amendment turned up the attached chart at:

http://www.heritage.org/Research/Family/Marriage50/Marriage50States.cfm.

Although I am sure this organization is biased in favor of such

amendments, I don't think the chart is inaccurate.
