John Cornyn Worried About the Census Being Politicized

[bayareababe2004]

I won't bother reading or believing the 2010 census. It's going to be politicized, so looks like I have to wait another 10 years :(

This is bullshit and Cornyn knows it. Commerce Dept. is PART of the executive branch which means they work for Obama anyway. This is just Obama's people being cc'd on the report...that's not politicization, that's the President taking an interest in what his cabinet is doing.

Obviously comparing this to just about anything Bush/Cheney did in terms of politicization is nuts but even on it's own it's very weak and, like I said, Cornyn knows this.

What the Republicans want is to get rid of the Census so they can deny whatever they wish and nobody can refute them.

Blacks? What blacks? All the Blacks went back to Africa, Liberia. Every darky you see is an ilegal immigrant. From Haiti or somewhere like it.

Homeless? No homeless here. Those are all drugged hippies and ilegal immigrants. We will deport them soon.

Poor? No poor in the US! Everybody is rich. You have no proof there are poor here.

I heard this bastard say that one of the problems that we have in the United States is that we're always having elections . Just drop the 'N' off of your last name john and you'll be fine !

Really? Where exactly was John Cornyn when our US Justice Department was politicized by gwb? What a hypocrite.

National wire tapping and politicizing of the Justice Department no problem for repubs. 

Census reporting to the President huge deal... Fracking repubs are morons.

What a shithead! He just doesn't want to lose the status quo of Republican power. He knows that the Democratic/liberal-leaning population of Texas is rising, and doesn't want them to get the appropriate representation! He's afraid that in 2012 he might be out on his ass!!

[CalexanderJ]

So basically Obama doesn't trust his own commerce secretary with the census. That's what he gets for putting republicans in his cabinet. Republicans can't do anything right.

Just sounds like because the transparency measures hes put into place are run by another department, he wants it sent to be put online in that site he put up.

A central information location for important data, and census is very important considering how much is calculated from it.

Redistricting is VERY important to the Republican strategy

[hippieCy08]

yeah....Big John is real concerned after Bush and his Republican loyalist politicized every government department.......firing qualified Americans....replacing them with their own crooks.

I luv Faux News. :P

[mistergarth]

Yup. Down in Texas, they'd never ever politicize the reapportionment process. No sir-ee. They're fair and balanced, just like their friends at Fox "News"

[bbbbmer]

cornyn is one of the dumbest idiots to ever work in politics EVER!!!

Heh, "Big Bad John" Cornyn doesn't seem so big and bad these days. He's worried - and he needs to be. If you take a look at how the voting districts were sliced up in Texas, it's clear he doesn't mean "one person one vote" - he means the concentrated, focused denial of any Democratic block of voters.
