Reply #16: you're ignoring 1990 redistricting

Since I started by discussing the 1990 redistricting, it's odd that you're not even mentioning that.

I certainly don't trust DeLay... but then Dems like Traficant and Dan Rostinkowski prove that Dems have no monopoly on virtue.

Gerrymandering is a common tactic used by the Party in power to give itself an unfair advantage. Why are Texas Dems immune? But it's an anti-democratic practice. It should not be condoned by any party.
