Republican power grab? Maybe. But take a look at this California congressional district map and tell me that the Democratic party in California isn’t mobbed up. Go ahead, click on the map. Notice that these districts curve any which way they want and have nothing to do with city limits or counties.
That’s right, until Proposition 11 was passed, the people drawing up the district boundaries were the ones being elected to those very districts. Of course, this is obvious, because otherwise why would the districts look like a first-grader drew them? (No offense to my daughter.)
Which leads to the question, since the previous system was so corrupt and such a crime against democracy, then who are the 4,781,082 morons who voted against Proposition 11? They can’t all be party-line democrats because nearly ever newspaper in California came out in support of Proposition 11, including the papers that lean far-left. So again, who are you people? Did you just not “get” the concept? Do I need to have my daughter draw a map for you in crayon?

oooo…. i like crayon drawings!!! especially of clowns riding ponies!!! YA!!!
