Poor katzgutz.

They don't care right now. They've got the votes to pass the worst bill in decades and redistribute $6 trillion to the wealthy and corporations, and they know the Democrats aren't likely to be able to reverse it for years. So who cares.

If they lose more elections, the people who are out have pay raises waiting from the legalized bribery of the lobbying positions waiting for them and they'll find new faces.

They know that the American people forget most of what was done before the weeks before the election when they can throw billions at bringing out voters for them by attacking Democrats and appealing on wedge issues like religion and guns and abortion.

So they don't give much of a crap. They're already the enemy of the American people, they made that deal when they ran and took the big donor money.

In this most recent poll, Democrats hold a whopping 48-point lead in congressional preference among voters ages 18-34 (69 percent to 21 percent), a 20-point lead among female voters (54 percent to 34 percent) and a 12-point lead among independent voters (43 percent to 31 percent).

I do not think Republican efforts to end net neutrality is going to help their image as the party of oligarchs and angry old white people.

I know a 25 year old who doesn't even really follow politics, but is pissed and fully aware of Republican efforts to change the internet as we know it, on behalf of their corporate clients.

When you think about it, the average age, gender, and skin color of a jpp.com conservative is, what, 69 years old, male, and pale translucent white?

[Nordberg]

Wasn't it introduced into American politics by a DEMOCRAT, and don't DEMOCRATS still employ it today, skank?

The Democratic-Republican Party was an American political party formed by Thomas Jefferson and James Madison in 1791–1793 to oppose the centralizing policies of the new Federalist Party run by Alexander Hamilton, who was secretary of the treasury and chief architect of George Washington's administration.From 1801 to 1825, the new party controlled the presidency and Congress as well as most states during the First Party System. It began in 1791 as one faction in Congress and included many politicians who had been opposed to the new constitution. They called themselves "Republicans" after their ideology, republicanism. They distrusted the Federalist commitment to republicanism. The party splintered in 1824 into the Jacksonian movement (which became the Democratic Party in 1828) and the short-lived National Republican Party (later succeeded by the Whig Party).
The term "Democratic-Republican" is used especially by modern political scientists for the first "Republican Party" (as opposed to the modern Republican Party founded in 1854).

So, gerrymandering was introduced into American politics by a DEMOCRAT, and DEMOCRATS still employ it today, right, skank?
