GOP Report Feeds Furor Over Texas Redistricting

http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=1802&e=3&u=/washpost/a10744_2003oct10

<snip>
Fortson appeared to take special delight in writing about what he predicted would be the fate of two Texas Democrats, Frost and Rep. Lloyd Doggett (news, bio, voting record). "Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha . . .," he wrote before describing how the plan would affect their districts.

Discussing Frost's district, which runs between Fort Worth and Dallas, Fortson said, "It simply disappears." He said black voters in Fort Worth would be shifted into a Republican-dominated district, black voters in Dallas would be sent to a nearby district that is already heavily black, and Hispanic voters would be moved into another GOP district.

Amazing. Even good minded TX Republicans will find this behavior disgusting.

5. Winning isn't enough- they want to destroy the Democratic Party
In a few years the only people we will have to vote for will be conservatives and ulta-conservatives.

6. Anti-Democracy pigs
They don't give a f**k about fair representation.

Power, Money, winning at all costs - the values of the morally-bankrupt right.

This really sickens me.

The unAmerican hypocrites.

:grr:

8. Does "nu_duer" mean "new DUer" or University of Nebraska DUer?
