Pretty good prank, I must admit.

They might get their district cut down in size, all because they refused to answer the census.

Oh, wait, what's that? Apparently, this whole "don't answer the census" thing started with the right wingers.

Could Michele Bachmann, Glenn Beck, and the rest of them be liberals in disguise? Hmmmmm....

1. I have been getting chain emails that say to write "American"
where it asks for race.

Wouldn't that end up making "americans" a minority?

2. Naw, it's just that they are each individually dumber than a box of rocks,
and collectively dumber than that.

Like all conservatives, working against their own self-interest.

6. Hmm
It is possible that they are concerned about backlash and they want ALL poor or middle class districts to be less populated for purposes of assigning legislators than well off ones.


Or they are complete and utter morons.

8. I think there was a 'This Modern World' cartoon
That had Bush and Cheney actually trying to discredit conservatism.

9. My wingnut sister and BIL aren't going to send it back
they never miss Rush or Beck. This is totally consistent since they always vote against their own best interests also.

11. There is another possibility.
It is possible that the repugs know how the demographics are swinging and fear the inevitable changes so instead they will try to poison the appearance of the process by raising the specter of Acorn again.

13. Don't answer census, don't pay taxes, don't obey laws -
Michelle Bachmann.
She is a sworn representative that's saying all that.
