Bruce: re: I fail to see support for your claim ". ....if you go look at the examples on the page I linked to in my opening post, you will SEE classic examples...all favoring Republicans except one. That is a basic support. Now....must I go do several hours of research and find MORE, when you'd just deny or explain away anything I found?
You post ONE example of what you think are Democratic flaws, and ask me why I didn't note it first!

   I not only showed the trend, I explained why Republicans do this. You simply will not see the basic tendency of the current Republicans, fueled by "Tea Party" reactionaries, to distort, lie and maneuver anything possible, including the Supreme Court, in order to grab and maintain power. It has gone WAY beyond the general partisan politics I grew up with where there were just 'differences of opinion', and has become a nasty, hateful movement. Sadly, vaguely moderate Republicans, (as I assume YOU to be) have either succumbed to it or pretend not to notice because they see some of their pet polices riding in on the coat tails of the really weird candidates...and control of Congress if they are lucky.
   Is it really worth 'winning' to have Rand Paul and Sharron Angle and Tom Tancredo and a dozen other off-the-wall wing nuts having a serious say in running this country?

(Yes...this IS a bit off the precise stated topic of this thread, but Gerrymandering is a prime example because this IS a census year, and redistricting is just around the corner, and you know....or ought to know... that the Karl Rove goal of 'adjusting' the entire system to favor Conservatives forever is still in play! Really frustrating to have that darned Obama fellow delay it for 2 years, huh? Five conservative Court justices making rulings like the "One corporation, one vote" travesty got it rolling again, though! You KNOW that is stupid and wrong, but it helps get more Republicans elected...using money from...????)

Ah, well....I shouldn't type when I'm steaming...but I am sick & TIRED of watching the country head down this path where Congress is deadlocked and corporate money is funding politics and hateful, evil campaign ads by 'anonymous' sources (yes, WORSE than usual) are being thrown like mud at anything 'Democratic' that moves!

...and no, I'm NOT gonna do those hours of research to 'prove' what everyone knows about who does the most Gerrymandering......
