I don’t think I can explain it more clearly than I already have. My guess is you just don’t want to understand.If you believe it is okay for the Constitution to be bent to give a Democrat more power, but it is not okay for the same thing to happen to a Republican, you are a hypocrite.
maybe you should stop bending the definition of a hypocrite?
http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/hypocrite
1 : a person who puts on a false appearance of virtue or religion
2 : a person who acts in contradiction to his or her stated beliefs or feelings
-democrats in favor of sampling
-this is inline with my beliefs
-republicans against sampling
-this is against my beliefs
Therefore, I find it okay that a democrat is in charge, based on the fact that it is inline with my beliefs. By definition, I would only truly be a hypocrite if I found it okay for a republican to be in charge, because this would be contradicting to my belief in sampling, because republicans are clearly against it.
My belief on anything regarding the Census Bureau, is that so long as changes that are made are beneficial to the Census data collected. What I define as beneficial would pertain to anything that gives a more accurate reading. In this case, a more accurate reading would be the most scientific reading. Republicans claim that this is a political move, and it may appear to be so, but the simple fact is the Census Bureau has been spending billions and still make problematic mistakes. And the only party (of the two parties that we have) that had any sort of solution to the issue of “counting millions” are the democrats. Republican idea of “head by head counting” is just unrealistic in these modern times, no matter how “constitutionally sound” those ideas may appear to be. You call it bending, I call it reform, adapting, evolution, growth, change we *edited*ing need.
