nothing done by the right is above board.
this is their hidden agenda instead of doing the peoples work they are busy making judicial appt. changing the maps in their favor so as to wreak havoc on "we the people" and our politicians but that only worked in the house much to our chagrin. and fickle America let it stand ,now they are saying the choice to leave them in was a statement against taxing the rich?How’d that happen? After all, the GOP won a huge number of seats in the historic midterm elections two years ago, suggesting the partisan pendulum should have been poised to swing back toward the Democrats in a substantial way.And from the moment Republicans swarmed Capitol Hill in January 2011, they embarked on a kamikaze quest to thwart President Obama’s agenda, and threw their weight behind an unpopular plan to privatize Medicare — a plan that became central to Democratic efforts to wrest back control of the House. As a consequence, congressional approval ratings plummeted below 10 percent.Why wasn’t this a recipe for a Democratic rebound?Experts attribute the GOP’s comfortable victory to the timing of the 2010 tea party wave, which gave Republicans huge redistricting advantages that let them alter the congressional map to their benefit.
“Much of this was pre-baked through the redistricting process,” Larry Sabato, a leading election expert, told TPM. “The GOP won the House at just the right moment, in a wave election that gave them many governorships and state legislatures in a Census year. Bingo. Many weaker House members elected in 2010 who would have lost in their old districts in 2012 have been given better districts that will reelect them.”look forward to more clandestine moves by the right to rig in their favor
