GOP Secret Memos Shock: Hidden Networks, Dark Intentions

http://www.politiscoop.com/us-politics/wisconsin-politics/748-gop-secret-memos-shock-hidden-networks-dark-intentions-.html

MADISON-Following is the statement of Democratic Party of Wisconsin Chair Mike Tate following Thursday's revelation, following a federal court's ruling, of new details surrounding the crooked Republican redistricting scheme for Wisconsin.

"The Republican effort to create hidden networks to keep details of their crooked redistricting schemes from citizens shows how low Wisconsin has been dragged under Scott Walker's rule. A three-judge panel called the activities "shameful," and anyone with a sense of good government would agree. Any Republican who participated in these actions and abetted them must explain why they are above the rule of law. The unethical baton held up so well by Scott Jensen has been ably passed to Scott Walker and Scott Fitzgerald and Wisconsin is worse for it."

nothing i came across seemed out of the ordinary of political machinations, really pretty mild, everyday stuff .. the only thing shocking to me was that MALDEF negotiated with these asshats! Unless I misunderstood what i was reading, it looked like they agreed to low balling Latino population in testimony.

I must be misreading something. I can't quite see them doing this. But I've placed faith and trust in people and organizations when it wasn't deserved and was betrayed before.. just hope in this case i really misunderstood the emails..

scratching head over it..

btw, i only read through about a dozen threads, couldn't continue.

Obviously this same thing would be going on in Florida and elsewhere.
