I am with you, it at least keeps far extreme right or left wing legislation from passing.

everyone paying the same rate? works for me
Perotista, you've convinced me of your wisdom of 30 minority-majority CDs being a huge conundrum within the gerry-mander discussion. Your #s gave me a 3.73 million surplus for 30 m/M Dem CDs. Repubs had a 234-171 seat advantage, or +63 advantage with only a 3.23 million vote surplus.
I'm not done with it. It is only a draft and I will have to chart it out. But I noticed a lot of the Republican wins were by 52-48 or 55-45 vs some 60-40 and 65-35 for quite a lot of Dems. There is a lot of putting together the numbers I have obtained. Give me time on this.
Brother Pero, a +30 Dem. m/M with a 3.73M surplus vs. a +63 Repub. GM with a 3.23M surplus gives a +33 Repub CD with a -0.50M deficit.
These are a few of the symptons of House gerry-mandering, not the whole House disease. The Senate disease was corrected with the 17th amendment, fact.
Just another problem with a Republic in the House.
Thus, we have the same Republic effect in the House, as designed in the Constitution for the Senate, for smaller population states.
So their is no people's House.
As you mentioned, the House also has a greater density of Dems per land area, wherever Dems are, as compared to Repubs.
Dems have less area with representation per person in the House, just as in the Senate.
And really, Republicans have been favored this way overall since we first began voting as citizens starting in 1824.
Another new factor for repubs is that the won't have the ODS hate-Obama drive to get them to vote in 014.

I think that is common sense, but in Washington and this is a groaner, when ever common sense is talked about, all the Washington politicians check their change purses to make sure they have their cents.

Deep down in your againg Goldwater/Perot hide,
I believe you are willing to give a little more before we leave this place.
I know I am and it feels good to share.
Arguing the legalities and vagaries about a LAW while surreptitiouly freezing/stopping the economy?
Talk about what, before Judicial action begins?
remember what happened in 2010? lots of black voters who showed up to vote DEM without thinking didn't show up in 2010 and thats why the dems lost lots of seats they had gained with that group voting in 08

anyone have a clue what this babble is about?

It is beyond your personal comprehension. Are you here to troll all my posts to Perotista?
I personally would rather the Republicans didn't attached the defunding rider to the CR. I would rather let the voters in November of 2014 decide about the ACA.
I don't think anyone could comprehend it NIMBY.
Again, it was you who tapped on me twice when I was posting to other people, in your usual attacking way.
Isn't there a place on this DP forum that is better suited for your kind?
I always considered myself a Goldwater conservative, Barry as my political mentor so to speak. I cast my first presidential vote for him. Then came my affiliation with Ross Perot. So that is what that is about.
We're way past anything rational from them now.
No matter the repercussions, Boehner can't back down until the debt limit.
This was Can'tors plan all along going into August.
Remember, C_NTOR scheduled only 40 days the last 5 months of this year.
actually the rules allow anyone to address a point made by others. perhaps you want to tell us what you were talking about in terms of a "place"
You're being very kind and classy Pero.
