It was Capitalism that afforded him to make that statement. Think boy.

You mean the thing that almost collapsed the worlds economies?

You are not thinking. You are attacking because you hate Capitalism.

Sure Bubs, sure. I guess you got that from your crystal ball? Hint, one can believe the "job creators" need to pay more historical EFFECTIVE tax rates they did 1932-1980, that regulators on the beat matters with Gov't policy and the current GOP/Conservatives are trying to destroy Gov't have some type of Ayn Rand fetish than to actually just throw up crap, like you!

Crystal Ball? Fetish? Very simply, your preoccupation with egregious government state is that you hate Capitalism and want it stifled.

YOUR inability to EVER address ANYTHING on topic or to be honest is noted Bubba, and like most conservatives on this forum, your knee jerk reactionary "socialists" Bullsh*t is also noted!

Socialist Bullshit?? Never said that. Those are your words CUT'n'PASTE BOY.

GOP Memo: Gerrymandering Won Us The House Majority


A recent memo by the Republican State Leadership Committee emphasizes the party's 2010 victories in state legislatures as central to the House GOP retaining its majority in the 2012 elections.

The reason? Redistricting -- or more precisely, gerrymandering.



In the memo -- titled "How a Strategy of Targeting State Legislative Races in 2010 Led to a Republican U.S. House Majority in 2013" -- RSLC boasts that it "raised more than $30 million in 2009-2010, and invested $18 million after Labor Day 2010 alone" to ensure statehouse victories in states like Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan and Wisconsin.

"The rationale was straightforward," reads the memo. "Controlling the redistricting process in these states would have the greatest impact on determining how both state legislative and congressional district boundaries would be drawn. Drawing new district lines in states with the most redistricting activity presented the opportunity to solidify conservative policymaking at the state level and maintain a Republican stronghold in the U.S. House of Representatives for the next decade."

The plan worked: even as they took a beating in the races for Senate and the White House, House Republicans ended up with a 33-seat majority, thanks to friendly district maps drawn by their own state colleagues. As the RSLC memo admits, "Democratic candidates for the U.S. House won 1.1 million more votes than their Republican opponents."

GOP Memo: Gerrymandering Won Us The House Majority

Hey, CUT'nPASTE Boy, both parties have gerrymandered and won. It is a practice that needs to stop. Why don't you Cut'n'Paste what is going on in Maryland.......your Democrat Masters don't want to give up gerrymandering. Looks like you back the Republican Governor of Maryland despite your cuttin' and pastin'. Think boy.

OK, Got it, the GOP Guv in ONE state wants it to stop? lol

States readjust their congressional districts each decade after the U.S. census is taken, to ensure that each one has the right number of residents. In several states, including North Carolina and Ohio, Republicans have angered Democrats by creating fingery districts that make it more difficult for Democrats to gain or keep seats. Critics call the process “gerrymandering.”

In 2011, second-term Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley (D) proved that Democrats could play the same game. With input from an advisory committee, public hearings and Maryland’s overwhelmingly Democratic congressional delegation, O’Malley proposed a map that made it easier for Democrats to gain a seat in the House of Representatives — taking a slice of rapidly growing, and heavily Democratic, Montgomery County, and adding it to the otherwise rural, conservative 6th Congressional District.

Is this how a Congressional district is supposed to look? Anti-gerrymandering activists say no.

Do you even know you exist or are you just a collection of knee-jerk reactions and gross appetites?

Have you self examined the failures of socialism? There are plenty to look at and none that are successful.

Yes that social security, medicare, medicaid, food stamps, etc. is all going to just collapse any day now, why don't you hold your breath and wait for it?

Once they get too large for the working people to pay for they will collapse. Is that your goal or are you just too stupid to understand the economics?

The solutions that work always are the simple ones. You only care about gerrymandering when you're on the losing end. Otherwise you would have been more for it back when your party was in power. The one thing about democrats is they sure love the status quo when they are in power but bitch to high heaven when they are out.

Let's end gerrymandering, and have voter ID as well. How would you like that?

GOP Memo: Gerrymandering Won Us The House Majority


A recent memo by the Republican State Leadership Committee emphasizes the party's 2010 victories in state legislatures as central to the House GOP retaining its majority in the 2012 elections.

The reason? Redistricting -- or more precisely, gerrymandering.



In the memo -- titled "How a Strategy of Targeting State Legislative Races in 2010 Led to a Republican U.S. House Majority in 2013" -- RSLC boasts that it "raised more than $30 million in 2009-2010, and invested $18 million after Labor Day 2010 alone" to ensure statehouse victories in states like Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan and Wisconsin.

"The rationale was straightforward," reads the memo. "Controlling the redistricting process in these states would have the greatest impact on determining how both state legislative and congressional district boundaries would be drawn. Drawing new district lines in states with the most redistricting activity presented the opportunity to solidify conservative policymaking at the state level and maintain a Republican stronghold in the U.S. House of Representatives for the next decade."

The plan worked: even as they took a beating in the races for Senate and the White House, House Republicans ended up with a 33-seat majority, thanks to friendly district maps drawn by their own state colleagues. As the RSLC memo admits, "Democratic candidates for the U.S. House won 1.1 million more votes than their Republican opponents."

In 2011, second-term Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley (D) proved that Democrats could play the same game. With input from an advisory committee, public hearings and Maryland’s overwhelmingly Democratic congressional delegation, O’Malley proposed a map that made it easier for Democrats to gain a seat in the House of Representatives — taking a slice of rapidly growing, and heavily Democratic, Montgomery County, and adding it to the otherwise rural, conservative 6th Congressional District.

Is this how a Congressional district is supposed to look? Anti-gerrymandering activists say no.

CUT'n'PASTE BOY, are in favor of gerrymandering or not? Yes or No?

CONservatives ALWAYS simple solutions for complex issues.


I'm for ending the capturing of our Gov't by the plutocratic class YOU support. Yes, we should have FEDERAL laws against gerrymandering, of course the GOP opposes that!

The solutions that work always are the simple ones. You only care about gerrymandering when you're on the losing end. Otherwise you would have been more for it back when your party was in power. The one thing about democrats is they sure love the status quo when they are in power but bitch to high heaven when they are out.

Let's end gerrymandering, and have voter ID as well. How would you like that?

Weird you don't see this after I posted it TWICE?

WHY VOTER ID'S BUBBA?


DUBYA'S DOJ UNPRECEDENTED 5 YEAR INVESTIGATION, 300+ MILLION VOTES, ZERO PROSECUTIONS FOR FRAUD INVOLVING A VOTER ID WAS NEEDED. NOT ONE! Weird right?





New database of US voter fraud finds no evidence that photo ID laws are needed


A new nationwide analysis of 2,068 alleged election-fraud cases since 2000 shows that while fraud has occurred, the rate is infinitesimal, and in-person voter impersonation on Election Day, which prompted 37 state legislatures to enact or consider tough voter ID laws, is virtually non-existent.

OK, Got it, the GOP Guv in ONE state wants it to stop? lol

States readjust their congressional districts each decade after the U.S. census is taken, to ensure that each one has the right number of residents. In several states, including North Carolina and Ohio, Republicans have angered Democrats by creating fingery districts that make it more difficult for Democrats to gain or keep seats. Critics call the process “gerrymandering.”

You are not paying attention on what is going on in Maryland. Republican Gov opposes gerrymandering and Democrats support it.

Weird, I link the Maryland Dems were just following the GOP's game, by making Dems seat safe, and you are telling me ONE GOP Guv in a safe Dem states is trying to change HIS states gerrymandering that doesn't help the GOP? LOL

ONCE MORE:

Are you going to support that when blue cities get spread out to red counties and you don't win any more elections? Or are you thinking you will be more selective in your gerrymandering?

Weird, the Dems in Congress received 20+ million more votes than the GOP? Think I'm worried about the dying old, GOP base? lol

Telling you that an unexamined life is not worth living.

LOL!!!

You libs have all the self awareness of a turnip. YOu guys prove it all the time!

Do you even know you exist or are you just a collection of knee-jerk reactions and gross appetites?

Have you self examined the failures of socialism? There are plenty to look at and none that are successful.

EXCEPT the US, Germany, UK, Ireland, Sweden, etc...

Which one is successful? All you have listed are inches away from failure. Which one is thee innovator and has a long term gain?

Now we know why all the great empires in history failed, liberals came to power.

SERIOUSLY? lol

You low informed morons sucking at the feet of the plutocrats in the US are funny
Germany is 40% the size (GDP) of US yet exports about 95% of what we do. They have min 5 weeks vacation, 6 months PAID maternity leave, basically free higher education, lower unemployment, there debt is less than 70% of GDP, Has had a very well run social safety net system for nearly 150 years (including SS), but it's failing? lol

In order for that to work you need people that actually produce to feed the system. Once the US the largest purchaser of their products becomes just like them who is going to cover the costs of this utopia?

THE HAMMOCK BS? I'm shocked, no really I am




Contrary to "Entitlement Society" Rhetoric, Over Nine-Tenths of Entitlement Benefits Go to Elderly, Disabled, or Working Households

Moreover, the vast bulk of that 9 percent goes for medical care, unemployment insurance benefits (which individuals must have a significant work history to receive), Social Security survivor benefits for the children and spouses of deceased workers, and Social Security benefits for retirees between ages 62 and 64. Seven out of the 9 percentage points go for one of these four purposes.
