		<description>&lt;em&gt;SickofObama Says: &lt;/em&gt;

Well, let me make an educated guess -- you were &quot;Sick of Obama&quot; on, oh, say November 4, 2008?  Yeah, that&#039;s about right. In other words, you do not believe in American politics or American government unless it is being won and run by the poeple you want.  How thoroughly UNdemocratic of you.

&lt;em&gt;Bachman - someone this country needs at a time when Obama and his goon squad want to take our freedoms away. The woman has every right to fear why Obama wants so much private information - what time do you leave for work, what time do you get home, what time do you use the bathroom, etc.&lt;/em&gt;

O.k. You are only a little unhinged. I have not seen the census for this year, but I am pretty darn sure that there are precisely ZERO quesitons about: &quot;what time do you leave for work, what time do you get home, what time do you use the bathroom, etc.&quot;.  Furthermore, you actually believe that the census is &quot;Obama gather ing information&quot;?  Really?  How old ARE you?  How STUPID are you? We have had more than one or two census&#039; in America over the years. We have had them when democrats were in office, and we have had them when republicans were in office. Apparently you are far too ignorant to realize this. 

&lt;em&gt;Looks like ACORN wants to be able to help themselves to what&#039;s not theirs.&lt;/em&gt;

Oh, and there you go, jumping off the cliff into the great abyssmal vortex of WHAT THE F#CK ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT, YOU LUNATIC?

&lt;em&gt;I have the same fears. &lt;/em&gt;

Yes. We DO understand. You are frightened. You live in fear, and alwyas have. Likely you always will live in fear. You are a sad little creature. I do not pity you, as you create the very fear that drives your ideology, the fear that directs your actions and shapes your life is fear that you build willfully in your own mind. So, I do not have any pity or sympathy for you and your fear.

&lt;em&gt;When I fill the census I will follow suit - only number of people in my household.&lt;/em&gt;

I don&#039;t know the law. Some are suggesting that it is unlawful to do that. Perhaps you should not fill it out at all, becuause if you just put that number down, and it is unlawful to not fill the rest out, they can come and get you and arrest you and fine you. Then they will drag you off to the secret Obama-muslim-alien-gay-spanky-vegan-democrat rehabilitation sites and make you one of them. (Are you even MORE scared now?)

&lt;em&gt;You people better wake up.&lt;/em&gt;

ooohhhhh..... back to that fear that drives your sad little life and tells you what to do. be scared. Act out on your fear. Rational thought is elitist and that is a bad thing, even though you don&#039;t know what it means, someone told you it was bad and that you need to be scared, and you lap it up like a good litle boy and ask, &quot;may i have some more fear and lunatic fringe conspiracy theory please&quot;.</description>

You are listening to Fox News to much, as a matter of fact the census ask alot of questions, from how many people in your home, too how much you make to the ethnic background. If you think that Obama is going to take your freedom away, think again, your freedom has already taken away in 2001, it is called the &quot;PATRIOT ACT&quot;, the warrentless wiretaps, the policing the internet. NSA listening in on your private conversations. Hearing pillow talk between our service people and their loved ones. 

It is illegal to NOT fill out the census and it is a prison sentence and/or a $250,000 dollar fine or both. Don&#039;t listen to the rantings of a whack job like Michele Bachmann, she needs to take her meds.</description>

This is GREAT! I hope Beck and those other Nazi-wannabee a-holes convince all the wingers to go off the grid, permanently. Gut the Red States in Congress, stop sending them more Federal spending than they ever pay in taxes, starve &#039;em all out. Talk about containing the seeds of your own destruction! Natural selection in action. One more shot and that foot&#039;ll be completely gone, conservatards. Lock &amp; load!

Hey, listen... Is that a black UN helicopter fulla jackbooted thugs? Better set your house on fire! Where&#039;d ya put the &quot;special&quot; Kool-Aid, Michelle? Drink up, y&#039;all!

		<description>Enough people boldly refuse to answer the census and Minnesota might lose a seat. These wing-nuts don&#039;t actually read the Constitution, they&#039;re just fighting for their &lt;em&gt;impression&lt;/em&gt; of it.</description>

		<description>I think I&#039;ve figured out Bachmann&#039;s motive. You see, Bachmann is purposely trying to eliminate her House seat in order to create &lt;em&gt;smaller government&lt;/em&gt;.  She&#039;s so &lt;strong&gt;stoopid&lt;/strong&gt; that she doesn&#039;t realize that the total number of House seats remains the same regardless if Minnesota loses one.

		<description>&lt;em&gt;tim.ned Says:

Oh horsefeathears! Bachmann speaks from the heart...&lt;/em&gt;

The things she is speaking are factually incorrect.  They are harmful to her constituents.  Others have offered to explain them to her, and she ignores them while continuing to perpetuate lies.  &quot;Speaking from the heart&quot; refers to explaining your emotions, not facts.  Questions of fact are neither feelings nor faith.  One is not excused for &quot;really believing in&quot; the lies they spread.</description>
