What's this I hear about a census boycott?

[John Kerry VonErich]

Someone told me that there are teabaggers that won't take the census and encouraging others not to as well after HCR vote.

1. Dear me, does that mean undercounts in Republican areas?

How dreadful.

[liberal N proud]

3. Oh my

:rofl:

Stupid fucks.

8. They aren't the brightest bulbs in the package.

[Ilsa]

11. We should encourage their civil disobedience if they live in red districts! nt

[blondeatlast]

13. Well, we evil socialist baby-killing gay folk should go all out to encourage

their census participation, don't you think?

5. If it becomes widespread...

Wouldn't the electoral college be affected as well as seats in the house?

[rucky]

7. yep.

4. Happens every ten years...

You can set your calendar by it.

6. Their entire one percent will be uncounted...

What a shame.

9. It won't make a difference.

There are probably no more than a few thousand 'Teabaggers' across the Country.

My apologies to real Teabaggers.

10. Good And They Should Stop Paying Taxes, Too...

The fools don't remember that it was Tom DeLay using the 2000 census that DeLay used to chase out the remaining Democrats in the Texas delegation.

Here's hoping the asshats don't report and they get stuck in districts with two rushpublican incumbents fighting for one seat :rofl:

Ya know, if these losers decided to drop out of society altogether...move into the caves in Idaho or wherever, I wouldn't miss them a bit.

12. Also look at Ga.

The state lost some ground and forced them to combine districts. This pitted 2 prominant GOP congressmen against each other. It was fun to watch this happen, but if indeed they do this, and I am not the one who would underestamate anyone period, this could be kinda dangerous. States would lose money for community and social services, losing congressional seats, etc. The thought is laughable, but if it grows, especially in states where there is a high progressive population, it can be frightening. The census only needs general info.
