Gerrymandering has been around with us for over 200 years. It is part of the American political process. To the victor belong the spoils.
Gerrymandering was a liberal Democrat creation. Both sides do it, but liberals have been far, far more egregious in their execution solely for political gain.
ONLY *WE* CAN DO THAT!!!!!!!!!
I hope they gerrymander the crap out of the entire country
It’s sad (but expected) to see a former presiden lower himself to the Jesse Jackson level.
First the voters have to Un-Gerrymand what the Tats created.
Private Citizen(LOL) Obama plans to do more damage to the US than he did as President
SorozNazi still finds Obammy to be “useful”
he will continue to screw us .. as much as he possibly can...
until such time as he is finally imprisoned (Guantanamo will do just fine) or at least deported back to Krapistan
best to take care of Soroznazi at same time...you cure a bad weed in your garden....at its roots
Where do they Gerrymander GOP districts? In the south, the gerrymandered districts are always created to turn a House seat black. And Democrat.
First of all, to me, a former president would worry about bigger picture things than how state legislatures hack up districts. I would think he would jet around fighting hunger like Bono or some such noble-sounding (but not particularly practical) task. But I guess raw political power is what this guy is all about.
Anyway, gerrymandering is not so easy to “correct”. Concentrating demographics to create safe districts for one party also tends to make the other party’s districts safer for them. And if the Dems aim to create more districts than can compete in, that will likely reduce the number of safe Democrat districts. Practically speaking, since GOP-controlled legislatures will not listen to them, I guess they are talking about more litigation. But I think even liberal judges have a hard time figuring out what kind of gerrymandering works out “best” for the Leftist grievance groups.
Gerrymandering is implied to be an ugly word. But absent a square-shaped state with a completely homogeneous population spread evenly so the state can be divided into neat little squares, drawing the lines for legislative districts is necessarily a political process.
Gerrymandering is raw corruption. Both teams play the game.
It’s cheating. The gentleman’s way.
When you have a skinny needle of a district stretching for miles, You. Are. An. Eggsucking. Mongrel. Tick-toting. Mange-scratching. Worm-infested. Stray. Three-legged. Dog.
Hey hussein let’s talk about the “gerrymandering” done here in Massachusetts.
Uh, for 6 to 8 years they lost over 1000 seats and NOW they are just realizing it?
Their template will be the FL amendment that cost us several solid red seats and cost us some good conservatives. Duplicate that 30 times and they would cut into our advantage. Of course California will somehow go untouched.
Boy, those proggie pinko Rats sure don’t like us doing the same things they’ve been doing for years, now do they now?
Somebody PLEASE! Call the WAAAAAAAAAAAAMBULANCE!

Fake News (again)
It was DEMOCRATS OWN GERRYMANDERING that caused them to lose the House and Senate in 1994 and again in 2010.
When they were in power in the states’ redistricting processes they ‘created’ so-called ‘black districts’ that were safely within their control. By doing this, they had to rob adjacent districts of democrat voters, thus weakening their control over those districts’ voters and so they lost the district in the next election after the redistricting.
What this did was to make the elected Dems in Congress be way more liberal and left-wing than the average voter back in their states. They weeded out the centrists and the right wing entirely of their party so now we have a Dem party full of far left ideologues.
Then when the Republicans got control of the redistricting process, they let the ‘black districts’ remain, so now neither the Dems or the Pubbies will get rid of them...............
Obama is engaging in treason.
IN WHAT SHOULD BE A RELATED SUBJECT: Conservatives do some, profoundly, serious brainstorming on how to, finally, make Conservatism victorious within all cities as well as among all minority groups, throughout the U.S. as well as throughout the entire world!
Ah, yes. The next “Too much money in politics” scam. Remember when Republicans had a distinct money raising advantage? Coincidentally, Democrats got on their moral high horse and demanded that we take all the filthy money out of politics, in favor of public funding.
The corrupt MSM could not write enough editorials and articles decrying filthy money in politics. Then McCain-Feingold sought to disarm Republicans, and again coincidentally, McCain-Feingold just happen to give Democrats a leg up on political fundraising. Not surprisingly, almost no Democrat ever took that good, clean public campaign funding option.
Then Obama raised nearly $1 billion in 2008, much of it from illegal overseas contributions and laundered as Visa/MasterCard donations. Everyone knew what was happening, yet no one, not the RINOs, nor those moral guardians of righteousness in the MSM said one word. Nor did the corrupt MSM find time to do investigative reporting on the matter on Obama’s illegal fundraising.
Fast-forward and the game Democrats who actually invented gerrymandering have now been edged out by Republicans. And of course we will now hear how morally outraged they are and demand that we need to “somehow” fix gerrymandering. Watch the corrupt newspapers now climb on board creating a sense of immediacy and outrage and demand action.
This is happening right now in my state (Wisconsin). Democrats are quite certain that gerrymandering is the root of all their problems, despite Trump winning the state in 2016. Despite Walker winning the state multiple times. And despite Sen. Ron Johnson winning the state. So all these statewide Republican wins proves that Democrats have been rooked by gerrymandering.
