You mean like they tried in 1990? Texas is probably the most gerrymandered state in the country anyway, with the attempt to keep Republicans from winning.

Well, yeah. Sure. That's what I meant.

Yes, exactly like that.

Well then, don't complain when you opponents do to you what you did to them .

But of course a Commie would know nothing about that.

Lincoln was the first Republican president.
The South was Democrat.
For the most part, it still is Democrat.

Ain't it hell, hating something Northern-spawned?
Not you, Che, but some of the other talleywacker yankers.

I didn't need anything to get back into the US the three times I went a few years ago. Although admittedly the last two times I was so drunk I wouldn't have known what the border guards asked me if my friends wife hadn't been there.

Democrat today != Democrat 1880s
Just a reminder. People seem to draw up this stuff a lot.

Sloww...What are you smoking?

quote: I remember one heavily Democratic district in the State of Georgia... the district ran from a lower income neighborhood in Atlanta, down 100+ miles on I-20 (where the only thing within the district was the highway - not the exits) to a lower income neighborhood in Augusta. I'm sure that one came about because of natural historical and geographical processes.

I don't hold responsibility for everything we do, but Republicans, with some of their moral and righteous acts, should know that "Two wrongs don't make a right".

A lot of the gerrymandering comes from civil rights laws. Basically there is this desire to make majority black districts.

TCO,

This is not about minorities, The crap they are pulling in Texas is a partisan attempt at basicaly turning the state into a single-party dictatorship, they are abusing thier power by disenfranchising liberals.

GO TEXAS DEMOCRATS!!!


Sloww,

The conservative southern Dems bolted and joined the Republicans during the Civil rights movement ("Dixiecrats"), the end result of the Liberal takeover of the Dems following FDR.
