right after Bush and Cheney's trial for war crimes is over.

Blue states are at least as guilty of gerrymandering as are red ones. I suppose if it happens in a blue state it's called "empowerment?" What is your comment on redistricting in areas that are predominantly Hispanic, and have a large number of i******s counted as legitimate American Citizens? It's not like they have to prove it, usually, that would be "profiling." It is not "r****t" to illegally stack the deck in favor of Hispanics, by counting their wetback brethren as citizens? Profiling is one of the stupidest ideas I have ever heard of. If someone answering my description commits a crime, and I am the subject of a good faith stop by law enforcement because I resemble the suspect, am I a victim of profiling? Of course not.
I digress. Gerrymandering is a fact of life, and Dems are at least as guilty of it as Republicans. I would question "V****g rights" in general. Originally, v**ers had to have some "skin in the game." I have paid taxes my whole life, I am a veteran, I was a business owner, and manager of another, providing jobs for people. Why should some illiterate peckerhead who has never paid taxes, served in the military, or contributed anything to society have as much right to v**e as I do? Do you hold the view that some ignorant, lazy gangbanger who only contribution to society has been to raise the crime rate has just as much right to v**e himself another handout, as I do to oppose it?

LOL yourself. It is not "blatant r****m," it is blatant "politics as usual," and Democrats are just as guilty of it as Republicans. Look what happened to Alan West in Florida. It happens all the time on a local level. It is as I said, If Republicans do it, it's "r****m." If Democrats do it, it's "empowerment."

rumitoid first off boo hoo for you in Texas. Why don't you come up to Illinois where I live you would enjoy it immensely because everything that you accuse the Republicans of doing in Texas the Demoncrats are doing ore doing in spades here. They are also doing it in spades in Michigan and every other blue state out there. The Demoncrat party here in Illinois is still run by the mafia which by the way is what is keeping that illegal Obummer afloat. In Illinois they don't care what you think or like because the great city of Chicago dictates to all just like in New York and Bloomberg.

It is only a free country when I do not have MY rights violated so someone else can benefit from MY hard work because they refuse to work.
It is only a free country when those who have 'skin in the game', as banjojack put it, are allowed to v**e and those with no 'skin in the game' are not.
It is idiocy to believe that a person who pays no taxes, or is sponging off the government, would v**e any other way than for the person or people who promises to GIVE them more UNEARNED 'stuff'.

You complain about gerrymandering when done by Republicans, and say nothing, I assume, when the Democrats do it. How typically hypocritical of you, if it is the case that you keep your mouth shut when Democrats do it. You want all people in this country to be able to v**e when they:
- should not be eligible because
---- they are not paying taxes
---- they are not contributing to the betterment of society
---- they are an element of the criminal class(yes those in prison now have v****g rights, at least most do)
- are not eligible because
---- they are not a legal resident
---- they are not a citizen

You Liberals want yourself in power so you can take more in taxes from the working class to give to the mooching class.
You Liberals want to say the rich are not paying their fair share in taxes.
You Liberals lie out both sides of your mouth to achieve your goals (no Conservatives are not guiltless in that one either).
You Liberals want to make sure EVERYONE is a s***e to a very few, just as you accuse Conservatives of being, but you instantly deny the allegation and go on the defensive or attack without rationalizing, legitimately, your stances.
You Liberals shout down dissent instead of trying to compromise, but whoa be damned if a Conservative will not sit and engage in legitimate compromise.
You Liberals want to do nothing but take and distribute, not equally, but to your chosen go the best and the dregs will go to everyone else.
I could go on and on and you damned well know I could and you also know I would be completely correct in everything I say, especially when I say the same applies to the Conservatives.

Since I have touched upon the topic of giving away, you might be interested to know that when it comes to giving things away, Liberals are willing to give away someone else's earnings without reservation, but when it comes to their own, guess what....

You should be able to believe the first article as it comes from one of your ilks favorite websites.

The next article seemingly contradicts those above until you look at the metrics used to come to the conclusion.

Once again, you have posted without acknowledging to whom you refer. What is so hard about hitting the 'Quote Reply' link instead of the 'Reply' link when you are going to reply to someone's post? Or are you just posting in the Quick Reply section? Even there you can tell us to whom you refer.

I still screw that one up occasionally, particularly on these late night forums.

mmccarty12 Loc: Zionsville, Indiana

Once in a while is acceptable. This person has not done it once. And I was engaged in a long discussion with AfricanAtheist last night until Lasher went all W***e S*********t.
