As if they weren’t going to fudge the numbers anyway.

No gubermint program is ever a failure, it’s just underfunded.

Are they creating a crisis or does one exist?

Are we getting this “news” now so that when they manipulate the outcome, they hope no one will ask questions?

They only had 10 years to prepare for this. Give ‘em a break.

And just think, pretty soon, we’ll all be beholden to their health care mandates.

Don’t it make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside?

Well, they’ll just round up a little here, and drop a decimal there.....wow...look at that....30 R districts suddenly lost all their population!

All they have to do is COUNT PEOPLE. How hard could it be? We did it for centuries without computers — how could they screw it up now? 1, 2, 3, 4 — it’s so easy a caveman or Democrat should be able to do it.

When they come to my door and ask me why I put ‘other-American’ for race I am going to say “Non Response F-U”

Hundreds of millions in advertising, and they forget to throw a couple million at better hardware and database systems optimization so the results can actually be tallied.

Sad.

I don’t know how hard the census could be to count. It asks how many live in your household, age, date of birth and race. It took all of two minutes to fill out.

No big deal to me. No one showed up at my house, just the form and I mailed it back immediately.

Unless, everyone else gets another form I don’t know why this is so hard.

You summed it up, but likely your estimated 30 R districts will be multiplied many times over nationwide to delete R districts and create new D districts (after all stimulus funds were appropriated to districts that didn't even exist).

Well, Obama has to cheat in such a way that we all know he cheated but no one can really prove that he cheated. Could be tricky.

Ease off.
GEICO has already pi$$ed off cavemen enough, no need to add insult to injury.

Of course the IT problems. If it weren’t for the IT problems, the Obama administration wouldn’t be able to prove that 400 million Mexicans, African-Americans and other persons belonging to ethic minority groups, live in the United States, along with a half-dozen or so Caucasians?

How can anyone mail it back before 4/1? The question asks how many will be living there on April 1st. So in order to be truthful don’t you have to wait until 4/1 to mail it back?
