You guys have nothing on the 12th congressional district. You want to see a really screwed up gerrymandered district? Check out the 12th in NY.

So let be get this straight. Maurice the socialist Hinchey assaulted a constituent who was just trying to ensure that local gun-control laws were followed? Could you imagine what would happen if a Republican broke a gun control law and assaulted the owner?

It appears that Ithaca, NY would qualify as one of Michigan’s “Cool Cities” according to Governor Jennifer Granholm’s (D) criteria- The more it looks, walks and sounds like San Francisco the better its chances of being declared a “Cool City”.

Uhm, we used to call it Gerrymandering. It's done in Maryaland all the time to ensure Rat congressional seats.

If he was a Republican, this would be front page news nationwide.

This is our guy!

And after listening to him on local radio these past months spewing the “use it or lose it” garbage, windfall taxes against “big oil”, and other liberal lunacy - imagine my surprise to read this headline.

These peace activists sure are a violent bunch aren’t they?

“And I’m originally from Broome County - Vestal, NY - which is near Binghamton - kind of center-left on your map there (and, thanks to Binghamton University, on the political spectrum as well).”

“The irony is that in between the “Ithaca” part of the district and the “NYC” part of the district lies some serious redneck country. Some of the best trout fishing in the world can be found right there in Delaware County.”

I’m there!
Unfortunately it’s also a good place to have a successful meth business - but that’s been getting better lately.

I lived in Enbdicott/Binghamton for 13 years...

It’s a small world, isn’t it? (after all!) ;-P
