can you say "Gerrymander"
redistricting is a fine art in the "Lone Star State"

When the Texas Republican Party is not imposing more government regulation on a woman's right to choose or when it is not busy passing Voter ID laws that will make it more difficult for certain segments of the population to vote, or when it is not frantically scheming to shut down Planned Parenthood, it is shamefully redrawing district maps in order to keep this sorry red state a perpetually sorry red state. Indeed the rights robbing Republican Party has overdosed on right wing steroids for the past two years. The puppets for right wing anti-tax zealot Grover Norquist have been on a ruthless crusade to slash and burn the state's budgets. This is especially true of school budgets. As my colleague Lightseeker has shared, in addition to witch hunts against women and voter rights, there has been a Republican all out assault on Texas school children.
I guess this is what happens when a Party's politicians are so morally bankrupt that their only goal is to stay in office in order to serve themselves. To do this for the long-term takes some creative scheming because even Republicans know that one day a majority of people will no longer put up with the kind of insanity we've seen over the passed two years. Indeed, a Party with such hapless lawmakers is driven to desperate measures in order to hang on to its seats in the big bad evil government. At least it is big and bad according to Republican politicians who will routinely resort to scorched earth politics in order to keep their jobs in the place they say they hate the most.
Eventually folks are going to wake up and say enough is enough. We are not taking any more right wing lunacy policies that harm more than they help. The GOP knows this and so it redraws district maps to make it easier for them to keep their jobs that mostly consist of throwing their constituents under the bus. But if taxes are low, low, low, everyone should be happy, at least according to right wing thought.
So imagine my displeasure when I voted early the other day and I could not find the candidate for whom I had decided to vote for U.S. Democratic House Representative in CD-07. Her name was not on the ballot because my precinct which is inside 610 near the Texas Medical Center in Houston has been redistricted out to tea party land in suburban Houston. According to afriend who knows far more about redistricting than I do said the GOP moved Republican precincts out of districts like CD-07 into tea party land in order to keep Republican areas in suburban Houston securely loony as long as possible (my words, not his). Apparently the GOP thinks U.S. Rep. Culberson is so invincible that he can hold a less red district with no problem.
Voters will decide Culberson's future in November. I just won't be among them this year. For I have been gerrymandered to ol' Houston hanging Judge Ted Poe's district. Hell hath no fury, Judge. I remember getting grilled by you when summoned for jury duty years ago. I also remember how the Judge would humiliate convicted shop lifters by making them stand outside the store from which they had stolen wearing a sign acknowledging their former thievery. I think it would be equally fitting for Ted Poe to stand outside the U.S. House of Representatives while wearing a sign.
Earth to TX CD-02. I don't work for you.
Many of us know that the Republican Party has been lying to the American people on so many levels for over 30 years. During the Reagan and G.W. Bush years we heard all about trickle down economics and its wonders. According to the tiresome right wing spin artists if the rich are given tax cuts they will create more jobs for the middle and working classes. Except that trickle down has never created jobs. Everyone knows this by now but that does not stop the GOP and Fox Faux News from its continual lying about it. Trickle down is a Trojan horse for tax cuts and a transfer of wealth from the middle class to the 1%. Media water carriers for Republican propaganda, Fox Faux News, has been faithfully beating the drums for the Party's voodoo economic policies for as long as I can remember.
When a party merely serves as servants for the 1% and does little other than wage wars against women, minorities, gays, the middle class, children, the poor and the elderly, it is no small wonder why it finds itself drawing district maps that would make sense only in a fascist twilight zone.
Texas' controversial 2003 partisan gerrymander produced
Texas District 22 for former Rep. Tom Delay a Republican
....and lets not forget this self serving redisticting debacle.
Outline of Texas' 30th Congressional District that was struck down in Bush v. Vera.
The Texas Legislature had developed a state-of-the-art computer system,
that allowed it to draw congressional districts using racial data at the census block level.
you gotta be kiddin' me!
As a result of the 1990 United States Census, Texas was entitled to three additional congressional districts. In a called session in 1991, the Texas Legislature decided to draw one new Hispanic-majority district in South Texas (District 28), one new African-American majority district in Dallas County (District 30), and one new Hispanic-majority district in the Houston area (District 29). In addition, the Legislature decided to reconfigure an existing minority-majority district in the Houston area (District 18) to increase its percentage of African-Americans. orking closely with the Texas congressional delegation and various members of the Legislature who intended to run for Congress, the Texas Legislature took great care to draw three new districts and reconfigure districts that the chosen candidates could win.
The Justice Department precleared the plan under § 5 of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 and it was used in the 1992 election.
Plaintiffs Al Vera, Edward Blum, Polly Orcutt, Ken Powers, Barbara Thomas, and Ed Chen challenged 24 of the state's 30 congressional districts as racial gerrymanders. A three-judge panel of the federal district, consisting ofUnited States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit Judge Edith H. Jones, United States District Judges Melinda Harmon and David Hittner, struck down three Districts (18, 29, and 30) but the decision was stayed pending appeal, so the plan continued in use for the 1994 general election.
How can I be " all washed up" if I'm so damn dirty?
Libby is a very angry female. I'm glad I live several hundred miles away from her. I had to chuckle at this line of her's. "I guess this is what happens when a Party's politicians are so morally bankrupt that their only goal is to stay in office in order to serve themselves." Has she heard about Obama yet?
dennis, Angry females will be Mitt's downfall
They should be angry at Obama but they're too stupid to see through his ruse. What has Obama done for females? Please don't even start with contraception.
“Let’s look at the real issues that face all Americans, including women. And it is the economy.”
—Representative Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-WA), Meet the Press, April 29, 2012
WOMEN STRUGGLING IN OBAMA’S FAILING ECONOMY
Last Friday’s job data released by the Administration shows that our nation is in its worst employment crisis since the Great Depression. Because the president and the Left cannot stand on their record, they have resorted to the politics of division and envy by trying to manufacture a gender war.
That political strategy is not surprising, especially if your own administration reported data on how badly women are hurting in the economy your policies helped create:
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics:
■Since President Obama took office, women have accounted for the vast majority of job losses.
■The number of able-bodied women that are no longer working or looking for work has increased by 4 million since President Obama took office.
■From his inauguration day until the present day, the unemployment rate among women has spiked by 14 percent.
■The number of unemployed single women has grown by 12 percent since the President was sworn-into office.
■There are 567,000 fewer women working today than when President Obama took office.
■Unemployment among women would be higher if so many had not left the work force since President Obama took office. If the percentage of work-aged women looking for employment today were as high as it was when President Obama took office, the real unemployment rate among women would be 11 percent rather than 8.2 percent.
According to the Census Bureau:
■There are 2.7 million more women without health insurance today than when President Obama took office.
■The latest data from the Census Bureau shows that there were 4.7 million single mother families living in poverty, more than ever before.
House Republicans have a plan to solve this employment crisis: the House Republican Plan for America’s Job Creators, which includes dozens of bipartisan bills that Senator Harry Reid is blocking in the Do-Nothing Democrat Senate. This plan is focused on protecting taxpayers and helping small businesses grow the economy and create more and better paying jobs for all Americans struggling during the worst employment crisis since the Great Depression.
Charge and Response
Charge: If Republicans want to help women, then they would address the wage gap between men and women. Republicans didn’t support the first proposal signed into law by this administration, the “Fair Pay Act,” also known as the Lilly Ledbetter Act, to address this inadequacy.
Response: Republicans are opposed to discrimination inside and outside of the workplace – period. Unfortunately for Democrat operatives, research show that there are many reasons that women, on average, are paid less than men, and those reasons are driven by decisions that women make for themselves. For instance, studies show that women generally work fewer hours than their male counterparts and leave the workforce to start or raise families.
Since Democrats approved the President’s crowning achievement for women in the workforce, the Lilly Ledbetter Act, four million more women are out of work. The House Republican Plan for Job Creators will help these four million women get back to work, by reducing taxation, regulation and litigation so American businesses can create more and larger paychecks for American workers – women and men.
Charge: Republicans have been making a concerted effort to change policy regarding health care, contraception, and women’s reproductive rights.
Response: Republicans want to ensure that Americans have access to affordable, quality health care and that the government does not force medical decisions on people in a way that violates their religious freedom. That’s why we are focused on repealing the health care law that is now more unpopular with women than with men. The President’s health care law takes decision making power away from American women and families, and replaces their good judgment with that of government bureaucrats and accountants. We can – and should – do better.
Charge: There have been more anti-abortion measures introduced the last two years than in total since Roe vs. Wade.
Response: Republicans generally believe that we should do what we can to make abortion rarer in American. We oppose the use of taxpayer money to pay for abortions. The President said that no taxpayer funds would be used to pay for abortions in his health care law, however, it is clear they will be used to do so. Since the number of unemployed single women has skyrocketed by 20 percent since the President was sworn into office, it is no surprise that Democrats are trying to divide the nation by gender because their economic policies have failed and have made the economy worse.
Charge: The Republican budget cuts funding for daycare and education services that women rely on.
Response: The House Republican budget modernizes government’s benefits for those in need by converting Washington’s share of spending on safety net programs into block grants to the states – just like the government did with welfare in the late 1990s. This ensures that spending on safety net programs is done effectively and in a way that protects taxpayers from Washington’s wasteful spending habits.
