PBS's Erbe: Dems Must 'Gerrymander Away', Politicize Upcoming Census
Taxpayer-subsidized journalist Bonnie Erbe has some advice for Democrats: use the 2010 Census and subsequent redistricting to your maximum advantage to gerrymander and "gender-mander" the Congress chock full of left-wing constituencies.
Writes the PBS "To the Contrary" host on a March 3 post at her Jefferson Street blog at US News & World Report (emphasis mine):
Depoliticize the Census? Surely they jest! Taking politics out of the Census is like taking milk out of the cow or coal out of Newcastle or diamonds out of Tiffany. Politics is the lifeblood of the Census—without politics, there is no Census.
The Census is part of the spoils of victory for whichever party controls the White House at the turn of each decade. Gerrymandering—using Census data to create voting districts that artificially lean toward one end of the political spectrum or the other—is as uniquely an American tradition as Thanksgiving. The thought of trying to depoliticize the census is, well, decidedly un-American.

Yeah, and if the Republicans were in power gerrymandering would be the greatest threat known to the Nation.
As God is my witness, we are headed for civil war - the naked power grab we are witnessing leaves no other recourse.
Of course!
Sample 2010 Census results:
Population of San Fancisco—300,000,000.
Population of Texas—2.
Number of African Americans—300,000,000.
Number of strait,white,Christian men—minus 2.
The 2010 Census, after it is royally reamed by every Leftist special interest group which left lipstick on Obama’s booty, will be sneered or snickered at by all—much like the OJ verdict. All with any trace elements of brain matter knew the evil bastard was guilty—but saying so in public depended on one’s agenda.
God help us.

Agreed, where and when?
All you leftist liberals know is cheating.You live your lives as if there’s never going to be a judgement day.This administration came to power by lying and cheating and they have named a bunch of tax cheats to run the administration so why would we be surprised that you realize the only way you think you can hold power is by cheating on the census.
Did you hear that the Bush admin tried to hire people that shared their views on things? It was a major scandal because we all know that the CIA wasn’t packed with Clinton moles for the entire 8 years. Politicizing things is only a problem if Republicans try it.
