they seem determined to undermine the us democracy and shut the government down hurting employees and veterans.. what a despicable bunch, hope they get their asses kicked for what they are doing..
you are not even willing to admit to or support the very idea you were promoting in response to minimus
And just what was that idea Shirley? You seem to think you know my mind better than I do.
Sorry if your hunger for argument hasn't been sated, but this is a complete waste of time.

How simply can I explain this to you. I responded to Min's comment on the 2012 election with two paragraphs from an article, which included a link to a specific poll, not the one you posted. I did not imply in any way that gerrymandering is exclusive to Republicans, nor did I cherry pick anything. You fail to recognize the original sequence of posts. You are arguing points I did not attempt to make. And being insulting while doing it.

"Democrats also faced a political environment that had swung sharply Republican, partly due to a wave of public discontent over passage of Obama’s health-care law."
It must suck for you when people actually read the entire article that you post already cherry-picked, Berengaria.
You might want to reread the article yourself. Unfortunately this line was in reference to the 2010 election, not 2012. Cherry picking.................go figure.

Shirley you are dishonest in the extreme.
You accused cherry picking in regard to discontent across the board as opposed to particularly Republican. You provided quotes to support your point.
Now you say the cherry picking comment you made was in regard to the point of the article (gerrymandering).
Shame on you.

Discontent is across the board (and, before someone launches on me for being a Republican supporter, I am not. I just found the cherry-picking example posted above interesting).
That wasn't cherry picking, it was a paragraph from the article I linked. Within that sentence was a link to a poll.
I love that show!

A majority of Americans disapprove of the Republicans in Congress, yet the odds remain in the party’s favor that it will retain control of the House. One big reason the Republicans have this edge: their district boundaries are drawn so carefully that the only votes that often matter come from fellow Republicans.
The 2010 elections, in which Republicans won the House majority and gained more than 700 state legislative seats across the nation, gave the party the upper-hand in the process of redistricting, the once-a-decade redrawing of congressional seats. The advantage helped them design safer partisan districts and maintain their House majority in 2012 -- even as they lost the presidential race by about 5 million votes. Also nationwide, Democratic House candidates combined to win about 1.4 million more votes than Republicans, according to data compiled by Bloomberg News.

there's just so much $$$ that people have.. the obama government continues to ignore simple mathematics, and you can't just keep adding taxes and increase fees and simply believe that everyone with a brain will think it's lovely..
Dog, tell that "study" to the people who are sick of being taxed to death. I'm sure they will be very encouraged.
Who exactly are these people Min?
