  Farkel, realize that Simon said "democracy", not "Democracy". There is a difference. We practice democracy.

  In the late 70's and 80's, the GOP talking heads began the campaign of scrubbing the notion that we were a democracy because it sounded too much like Democratic. Focus groups and messaging etc. Since then, we have endured the continual parroting of the "America is not a Democracy it's a Republic" talking point, as though it were the Holy Grail of enlightenment. That is ignorance as surely as is going from door to door as a JW.

  Stick to JWism, it's really your only strong point.

  Our government is BY the people and FOR the people and OF the people.

  Hmmm that sounds suspiciously like some type of democracy.

  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.
