Congressional Republicans should just shut up and go away.

We have all seen U.S. maps by county, in which the "red" counties make up about 90% of the country, and the blue counties just a few pockets, yet the blue candidate won, because the blue areas are densely populated with unproductive people who look to government for comfort.

Population density is irrelevant apparently. Land mass is what matters when it comes to elections.

We republicans would WELCOME a change to proportionate allocation of electoral votes in each state - a much more "democratic" arrangement than what we have now.

Despite very little attempt to do so, and many more attempts to simply gerrymander away opposition.

And it's hilarious how you talk about making things more democratic while at the same time crying about things being too democratic. Otherwise you wouldn't have been complaining about how the less populated districts didn't count as much as the more populated ones.

Democracy is a patently stupid form of government, as the Founding Fathers well knew. Until very recently, a significant majority of Americans would have gladly voted to have "Negroes" shipped "back to Africa," and " sodomites" jailed or executed. I have no doubt that a majority today would vote to forcibly deport every Mexican currently residing in the U.S. (and their "American citizen" progeny) back to their land of birth, regardless of Green Card status. Clearly, the majority of Americans are stupid and/or foolish (not the same thing).

This past election provided a forum for those who pay no taxes to provide the margin of victory to a candidate who promised them ever more Gub'mint "free" goodies at someone else's expense.

Any change that would prevent this from happening again would be welcome. Thank God for gerrymandering.

Yep, what we need is a strong man to come in and straighten us all out, silencing the ignorant and foolish, who have no business in speaking out anyway. That's what the founding fathers wanted all along.

Please.

Another tedious diversion having absolutely nothing to do with the matter at hand:

I wont hold my breath....

As another posted aptly summed it up:

Unfortunately you will likely persist in refusing to recognize that your responses to rubato are tiresome, petty, uncalled for and viciously unpleasant.

[Lord Jim]

No, my responses are fully appropriate when dealing with someone who is tiresome, petty, regularly makes uncalled for comments, and is viciously unpleasant.

I'll make no apologies for my treatment of a nasty little prick who bollocks the facts left and right, tosses out gratuitous insults like the Mardi Gras King tosses out beads, and then presumes to call other people "stupid", "ignorant" and "mean"...

[Andrew D]

No, my responses are fully appropriate ....

Only in your warped imagination.

I'll make no apologies ....

Of course you won't.

... tosses out gratuitous insults like the Mardi Gras King tosses out beads ....

Looked in a mirror lately?

Of course you have. You spend much of your time here screaming at it.

Except red states tend to take in more government aid than blue states.
