You are okay with a Democrat doing something, but if a Republican did the same thing you would not be okay with it. This, by definition, is hypocritical. I would not be okay with a member of either party doing such things. This is not hypocritical, as it applies the same standards to both parties.
Uhmmm…
The intentions behind a democrat doing something is going to be different than a Republican. I am okay with the democrats doing something, as so long as it goes with my beliefs. In this case, my belief is the CB could use some change, and because of that, I believe the best people to handle that change are democrats. BECAUSE they are FOR SAMPLING. I would NOT be okay with republicans doing something, because the majority of the time it goes AGAINST my beliefs. In this case, a republican would go against any kind of change like Sampling, which is against my belief that sampling would be more beneficial to the Census. Do you not understand that logic? Their is no hypocrisy involved, because I am indifferent to the regulation of the CB, so long as the people in charge have an agenda which is inline with my beliefs. I’m not simply saying I wouldn’t want a republican controlling, I’m saying I wouldn’t want a republican controlling, because I don’t agree with their agenda.
