Oops: Bachmann's anticensus hysteria could backfire

As you may recall, over the summer Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) urged Americans to protest the ACORN-Census conspiracy by refusing to comply with the decennial census.

But now it's becoming clear that if her constituents heed her advice, she might end up losing her seat in Congress.

Why? Because the results of the census determines how many seats each state has in Congress. Heading into each census there are always states "on the bubble" of either losing or gaining an extra seat, and as it turns out, in 2010 Minnesota is one such state:

State demographer Tom Gillaspy has been warning for months that the next census could result in the loss of one congressional seat in Minnesota.

That would be funny if it weren't tragic. Her idiocy could cost her state deserved representation in Congress....

I will not be counted by the census.

The government has no business asking me hundreds of questions.

I will not fill out a census form. I will not answer any questions.

It is not the government business.

I live in a Democrat state. Losing representation would be an added bonus.

Good to know you are so willing to help give up representation for others just because you don’t like their politics.

I am looking out for #1 (me).

I am looking out for #1 (me).

And it shows.

Oh please. As if your entire reason for saying what you've just said isn't selfish. Being selfish is nothing to be ashamed of. As long as you acknowledge it and don't try to shame other people for looking out for their own interests. I have found that if I don't look out for my interests, no one will. It's the cold, hard truth and I pity you if you don't believe it.

That explains 99% of your posts.

She is not smart enough to read a census survey. Just don't count this cunt and be one less person to worry about.

How could such a nutcase ever get elected in the Franken state???

Now that we can see our representatives in Congress live on video, I'm wondering how a whole long list of nut cases ever got elected.

I'm starting to worry that my brief stint as a Republican is going to bring me a couple hundred thousand years in Purgatory.

Another great quote for my little book

Are you going to have a little pink book, like Mao had a little red one?

Well, Franken was elected, so 'nuff said.

You'd be hard pressed to find Franken saying as many stupid things as Bachmann habitually says.

If you break your message down into five words or less, you'll have captured the motto of Log Cabin Republicans.

You'd be hard pressed to find anyone saying as many stupid things as Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann.

The Dream Republican Party Ticket for 2012: Sarah Palin, president; Michele Bachmann, vice president.

The Dream Republican Party Ticket for 2012: Sarah Palin, president; Michele Bachmann, vice president.

And two percent of the electorate throwing up in the voting booth.

Ironicly enough, it would also presently be the Democrats dream Republican Party Ticket.

Selfishness is not only the biggest problem with Republicans, it's the biggest problem with America. Ironic that this is supposedly a "Christian" nation.
