Republicans hate Democracy. They believe that it is a terrible form of government. They believe that the privileged should make the rules - the 'makers' if you will - and that the rest of us - the 'takers' - exist simply to serve the will of the privileged few. Until you understand that, you will never understand the Republicans. Its not that they are trying to 'cheat', it is that they honestly and sincerely believe that government exists to to protect and help the 1% and that is the natural order of things and that they other 99% exist solely to help redistribute wealth upwards.

Back in the early days of railroading, if you were killed on the job, the reward to your family was that your son was offered your job. If you didn't have a son, well, tough. That's the Republican mentality. And until we realize that is what they are all about and make a drastic change in our voting patterns and destroy the party, nothing will change.

Good morning, I do hope you are preaching to the choir, since we are DEMOCRATS! Or are supposed to be on this site. In other words, the reason that we are not repugnants is that the r's believe they are just as you say: privileged. This is a profound stupidity spoken in its worst voice!

to win elections. Most of the national and most other state's GOP
can be against this plan, giving leeway for the hacks in Pennsylvania
to rig their state and tip the Electoral College.

This is obscene!!

We're stuck with these cheaters until their terms expire.

republican-lite isn't it

PA is an odd state. James Carville called us Pittsburgh and Philadelphia with Alabama in between. Too many people are ill-informed and tend to vote against their best interests. The PA Democratic party organization isn't that well organized.

Here's hoping that people with some commonsense go to the polls and unelect these morons. Otherwise, the same stupiid people will re-elect these self-serving greedy politicians.

altogether.

The thugs here in Michigan have just said that 'It's not on our agenda at this time'.

They also had said that about the right-to-work-for-less laws on more than one occasion and, when they finally decided it WAS in their 'agenda' it was written up and passed into law within days.


I don't trust our thugs as far as I could throw them and what they say doesn't mean crap. They lie, lie and lie some more.

for one thing, it would have changed NOTHING in 2012 as President Obama would have known as it's done in advance and they would have campaigned different

for another, it would mean Hillary will go into each district, and with her coattails in 2016 will get alot of house victories

for another, let's say its Jeb/Christie and they win PA.
if they do this, they will in effect lose 1/2 the state's electoral votes and the democratic party would gain

but as i have said for 10 times, I believe they are attempting to get the dems to get rid of the electoral system altogether knowing they can't win

Plus, Hillary is now polling ahead in 5 or 6 red states.
She will get 450 electoral votes. and the popular votes.

So, like the repubs did when they signed away the rights to more than 2 terms, and Ike and Reagan could have won a 3rd term if legal but it wasn't, same would happen

IMHO

if you get my drift. It disempowers PA by making it nearly irrelevant in a Presidential contest. It also takes away the coat tail factor for the Dems in some ways, because the campaign will ignore PA as a non-swing state.

just because this years house are republican in some areas, doesn't mean those states will vote republican in those districts next time

Even Paul Ryan yesterday said no in wisconsin to it

these are just master bluffs

Just look at Senseless Brenner's district...it weaves around into Milwaukee county slicing out wealthy conservative nieghborhoods...

They're trying to do that here in Michigan too. With a right-wing dominated state Legislature and compliant Governor (Rick Snyder), they just might get it done, like they did with shoving through right-to-work.

These thugs can be voted out of office before their plans to rig the '16 Presidential election come to fruition.

After all, the rigged EC scheme would effectively give Republican votes more electoral weight than Democratic votes, a violation of equal protection and/or equal representation if you ask me. IANOL.

If they can't disenfranchise Democratic voters, the next worst thing they're up to is back door disenfranchisement by severly diluting the power of Democratic votes.

"Hi, We're Republicans. Today we will be tampering with the United Statess Voting system. GO about your business, we just want to TWEAK IT in our favor, okay? Have a nice day, and see you in the White House in Four years! "
