Fudge up the number Rusty. That way it will outweigh the score of Mickey Mousers’ that get thrown in to get district lines rewritten!

Cali, it was meant to be a reference to the 3/5ths compromise. The way I figure it, the Democrats and liberals view conservatives as their slaves. We work to generate money, which they confiscate and give to their constituents.

Nice to know the census costs each American 1 million dollars in taxes.

“and would cost taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars.”

I just LOVE the census bureau “motto.” ….. “Helping you make informed decisions.”

Uh, why in earth do we need the CENSUS BUREAU to help us make “informed decisions?” Informed decisions about what???

I really want to comment on this but frankly I’m getting cross-eyed over all this crap. Conservatives offer sane rational ideas and they are called racist hate mongers.

White? Yes. Black? Of course. Native American? You bet. Transgenderblender? Why Not. But legally in this country? R U NUTZ?!!!

We can find a cow out of millions throughout North America that started Mad Cow Disease, but tracking 15 million ille – er I mean Documentationally Challenged Americans is impossible! I got it! Right! Just Checking!

Can we get the grown ups back in now?

We must have already paid the “hundreds of millions” necessary to write the code, program the scanners and train the census taker to ask the question.

But under the current system, only 3/5ths of conservatives count. Of course liberals and illegals count 7/5ths, that way it averages out to 1 each. See, everybody is equal.

How come asking how many toilets are in your house doesn’t delay the census and make it more expensive?

I had the opportunity to chat with a gal who was laid off, but got temp work doing census stuff. She said that they got one whole week of training (paid – $15 something an hour) and two weeks of work.

Doesn’t sound to me as tho’ they worry too much about fiscal prudence.

Doh!!!

“even adding an addenda sheet with the Vitter question also would require rewriting software code, reprogramming scanners and retraining census workers to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars. ”

an obvious lie.

But even if it were the truth, it says that once an illegal action has been set in motion, it can’t be reversed, because it would cost too much.

These flagrant criminals (the democrats) have to be thoroughly defeated and many of them incarcerated to prevent their brand of criminal mischief from ever again gaining ascendancy.

Sen. Vitter’s rational argument (and Mr. Steve’s agreement with it) is all based upon the understanding that the U.S. of A. is a constitutional republic undergirded with rules and statutes.

According to the Leftist mindset, that is simply not the case. We are a democracy. All that matters is who’s hand is out for a handout – which can then cast a ballot.

If they are dumb enough to come to my door, I will tell them that six hundred and fifty people live in my house…on a rotating basis. If the census takers are the bozos like acorn folks, they will write it down and not think twice about it.

Just my part to even out the stupidity of political correctness. Ya know, if you arent a citizen, you dont count. Period. Any congress-pig that uses illegals to increase their power base in their state or district should be arrested and put in prison for violating FEDERAL LAW!

I cant wait for 2010….

Well, still and all, when the form comes, I will mark only how many people live here.

That’s all I want to tell them.

If they come to my door, ACORN or not, I will only tell them how many people live here.

Period.
