Oops

It seems that moronic teabaggers and GOoPers like Rep. Michelle "Clueless" Bachman (R-MN) who have railed against the U.S. Census -- something actually mandated in our U.S. Constitution, hence perfectly "Constitutional," are having the unintended effect of weakening Republican/Conservative representation in our government:

The Houston Chronicle's report looks specifically at Texas, which is counting on the census to gain additional House seats, electoral votes, and federal funding relating to transportation, agriculture, health, education, and housing

But some anti-government types are shooting themselves in the foot.

The national average on the return rate for census forms is 34%. In much of Texas, the more Republican the area, the lower the return rate. In Briscoe County in the Panhandle, McCain/Palin won nearly 75% of the vote -- and 8% of locals are sending in their census materials. In King County, near Lubbock, McCain/Palin won nearly 93% of the vote -- and only 5% of locals are answering the census.

They apparently have no idea that they're acting against their own interests.

Gotta applaud the combination of teabagger stupidity and shameless Republican opportunism to defy the Constitution they claim to be supporting against nefarious Democrats and Progressives who actually want to move this country into the 21st Century. With any luck, it will lessen their political influence and help protect our Republic.

Keep up the fine work.
