Truth is, for the first 60 or so of those years, there were so many Democrats in this state that it was pretty much impossible for them to lose. They didn't have to gerrymander the districts. Let's talk about the modern era, shall we? Say the last 30 years or so. Show us one example of Democrats doing what these Republicans are doing right now.

Never in your wildest fantasy of being oppressed by Democrats will you find an ACTUAL case where Democrats sought to overturn the election of Republicans a mere four months after the election by redistricting the winners out of their win.<br /><br />And taking the high moral ground of "they did it to us first" -- which is really your argument, isn't it? -- hardly proves anything very uplighting about the modern Republican Party.SSustinatornoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6194583.post-46086965857380831792015-03-09T08:31:10.976-05:002015-03-09T08:31:10.976-05:00Again, bad information for the faithful liberals. ...Again, bad information for the faithful liberals. <br />Democrats for the past one hundred years plus have drawn districts that highly favor them to keep their corrupt power. All redistricting efforts are a total effort to the regain power they have lost. Liberal Democrats have forever lost so many Southern Democrats, never to be regained.<br />You also forgot to mention three of Wake commissioners are from a small area in Raleigh which is Barefoot opinion not a good thing.<br />The truth does matter.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6194583.post-57372159385753093372015-03-05T11:47:49.849-05:002015-03-05T11:47:49.849-05:00This is the idiot who graduated from ASU and then ...This is the idiot who graduated from ASU and then married the daughter of the leading anti-abortionist in NC and is tool, a puppet who cannot think his way out of a paper bag.

One of his ASU contemporaries says he looks like Waldo, but unfortunately we know all too well where he is: totally in the pocket of Stam, Tillis, and the whole GOPer crowd.brotherdochttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03597543573448439126noreply@blogger.com
