To be perfectly honest, convoluted election maps are drawn to allow for the election of black candidates...or to eliminate that possibility.
Consider this, if not for legalized abortion and the lobbying of the loathsome, Planned Parenthood, then Congress would be absolutely loaded with black legislators.
Although I would not consider this a good thing, As I believe the best man should be elected, be they black or whatever.
My hatred for abortion FAR outweighs my desire that the best politician win. My moral compass cannot point in any other direction.
If no black babies would have ever been aborted (murdered) then Obama would NOT have been the first black president.
Every FReeper, in their most secret heart, would wrestle with this matter, and IMO, the great majority would come down on the same side as I have!
I have great faith in the moral rectitude of Freepers.
