Gerrymandering? Check out Congressman Bobby Scott’s (D- VA) district here.

[R. Scott]

It’s not as bad as it once was, but check the small pockets of his district in Newport News, Hampton, Portsmouth and Norfolk – all separated from the main territory. Guess the demographic.

And I don't recall hearing anything being done to him, either. Has HE been prosecuted?

[Loyal Buckeye]

MSM: DeLay is guilty of...

Being rude.

Therefore, he is guilty of conspiracy and money laundering.

Little Dick, Little Dick???? Will you ever even accidentally get something right?
If you knew even a small portion of what you like to pretend you know, you would understand the recent history of gerrymandering. Let me help you Little Dick.
After using Republican help to pass the Civil Rights Laws of 1964 and 1965, Long Ears Johnson once lamented that he well understood that passing those laws would lose the South for the Democrats. Now listen carefully Little Dick. By the 1970 census the Democrats could see the immediate future and the needed a way to save themselves: they gerrymanded the South. They carved up districts and packed districts with Republicans and spread out Democrats. That bought them enough time to get a smooth gerrymander machine working and by 1980 they had so much power in Texas ( a state that had become so conservative that men like John Towers were switching parties) that they had to bring Martin Frost in to fill a seat since all of their people were already safely elected. Frost a liberal Democrat from Queens NY established a residence in the district and "Shazam!" a new rat congressman was born. By the way Little Dick gerrymandering was FORCED on North Carolina by the DoJ. Or don't you remember the Black Congresswoman's district that had I 95 as its only area for miles. Not both side, but the highway itself!
Little Dick, you should know better than to try to fool the new media.

What is crucial is that DeLay managed to do something that is very, very wrong and highly injurious to our democracy — to fix the elections for the House of Representatives, in effect to take the ballot out of our hands.

Yo, DICK. Can you say Gary Condit??? Your remember him don't you DICK?

You know, the guy who became an embarrassment for his OWN DemoncRAT party (something about a DEAD GIRL IIRC), so the RAT powers that be redrew HIS district on a whim to make him disappear? Now I could be wrong DICK but I don't recall that redistricting being done do to any new census data, they justed wanted him G-O-N-E.

But that was okay by you I guess, huh? As that was just "politics a usual" and "everbody does it" - you 'poop' for brains.

I've never heard a word about any punishment for Frost.

But .. that's why it irked me so much when FOX kept bringing him on as a contributor all the time.

FOX has been choosing some very corrupt politicians lately .. maybe that's why I'm not watching.
