Strange, but I don’t think it was a scam.

If they can cheat their way into gerrymandering a permanent Democrat majority in the House, we are in deep doo-doo. The Census should be an actual count. Nothing else will satisfy the Constitution. Not that the Dems give a whit about the Constitution.

White Hut may “soften language.”
White Hut will not “change plan.”

Please forgive my ignorance, but I don’t completely understand the political power significance of a census. Could someone please briefly explain?

If the Obamoron’s lips are moving . . . . he’s lying.
Actions . . . . . . words!

The numbers will determine who gets what money. Always follow the money.

This is only because the Commerce department is now in the hands of a loyal leftist.....and not Judd Gregg.

Democrats want a “fair and accurate” count.
How about just an accurate count?
If fairness comes into play we know exactly who will make the rules about what is fairness.
And like anything else named with the “fairness” moniker, it smokescreens actual intent.

Yes, I’ve gathered that by now, but I don’t undersand how. I always thought they just went out and “counted” people in the country. What am I missing?

If you can tweak the numbers so your friends/constituents have majorities then those communities get spending.
