Why is it that nearly all political fundraising mailings assume their contributors are morons?
Fake urgency, fake “polls” (of the “Do you favor a ban on assault weapons, or would you prefer to have terrorists buying AK-47s at Wal-Mart and killing your children?” ilk), phony stuff on the envelope to make it look more important (usually they just *pretend* to be registered mail!)
And as far as I can tell, it’s equally rampant on both sides of the political fence. For some reason, I’m on a lot of the lefty mailing lists too, and they use the same tactics.

The Republican registered letter stunt hit me a few years ago. I was more bemused than angry, in an it’s-so-hard-to-get-good-help way. It cost me a lunch hour and, of course, lunch.
Don’t these people expect Good Republicans to be working? I can’t imagine anyone responding well to this stunt. Why are they still doing this?
