I wish liberals would make up their minds.

Sounds like Cynthia is embarrassed by the likes of Sheila Jackson Lee, Barbara Lee, John Conyers, etc. etc. Affirmative action always produces inferior results, our current president being Exhibit A.

Cynthia Tucker says “I was wrong.”
She should say the same in every single column she ever writes.

If only they realize sooner that every policy has unintended consequences. Some of them work against the very cause they try to accomplish with the policy.

So what does Cynthia want? Districts that are gerrymandered to be 60% or more Dem registration, like here in the Southern California locality where I live? The Marxists in Sacramento didn’t gerrymander by race so much as by voter registration. That’s why they’ve dominated the legislature here for so long.

While black-packed districts yielded some quite respectable pols -- including U.S. Rep. John Lewis, D-Ga., and U.S. Rep. James Clyburn,Yep. That John Lewis guy is as honest as the day is long; as he proved last March when all those Tea Partiers were shouting the n-word at him 15 times.

Not bad, Cynthia: it only took you 30 years to get to what the rest of us have known for, well, at least 30 years!
Your stupidity and narrow-mindedness have never stopped you from rendering your opinions, though, have they?

So the democrats finally figured out that packing all the flaming liberals into single districts makes the remaining districts safe for the GOP.

Gerrymandered districts truly are an abomination. Any thinking person should oppose them on principle. The fact that they have resulted in a bevy of corrupt, racist morons in congress is just part of the problem. Still, it’s hilarious how this dumb Democratic idea insures that a good percentage of the Dem caucus consists of crooks, and has resulted in a natural Republican majority in congress.

John Lewis is my Representative and he hasn’t done anything for the past 25 years he’s been in Congress. I don’t have any representation in Congress.

"If black voters think they have made substantial gains simply by having more black representatives in Congress, they're wrong. They'd have more influence if they were spread through several legislative districts, forcing more candidates to court them."
No, Cynthia. Black voters would have more influence if they stopped voting 90% Democrat, putting all their eggs in one basket, and that happens to be the non-majority party.

John Lewis is my Representative Sorry. I got you beat. Mine is Keith Ellison, who just was reelected with over a 40% margin in a hugely Republican year.

Be careful what you wish for.
You get James Clyburn, we get a Republican state, not a bad deal in SC.
To: BuckeyeTexan
I was wrong. I was shortsighted, naive and narrow-minded... That ain't news. Well, maybe to Tucker it is.
Let me guess, she wants a do-over now that she realized she is an idiot. That ain't news either.

I LOVE the fact that 30% of Democratic voters are herded into a small handful of districts nationwide!
We don't want those freaking liberal retards in our districts!
Democrats are VERY lucky their power base is in the Northeast where the states are very small, and thus get 2 senators for an area not much larger than a large city in the south. Nearly the whole northeast should be turned into ONE large state with only 2 liberal senators, THAT would fix a lot of stuff.
