Subscribe to RSSRoll Call looks at some immigrants to the U.S., who have migrated to the Tea Party: "In Northern Virginia, many of the immigrants who have gravitated to the tea party have roots in socialist countries and are intensely afraid that the U.S. is headed down the same path. They embrace the tea party’s small government, socially conservative messages and say the only immigration they are for is the legal kind. They don’t bat an eye when it comes to the movement’s tough anti-illegal-immigrant rhetoric."
ILLINOIS: "Illinois Democratic lawmakers passed an ambitious and aggressive new Congressional map Tuesday that seeks to put up to five current GOP seats into Democratic hands next year," Roll Call writes. "But the new map might not easily stand the test of time. If Democratic Gov. Pat Quinn signs the approved map into law as expected, some current and future Democratic Members will have to deal with both demographic and partisan shifts that will likely make some of their districts more competitive in future cycles."

Wonder what the maps in states like Ohio, Wisconsin, Florida, will look like! I know TEXAS!
Two wrongs don't make a right. I am just as disgusted with the Pugs as anyone but I absolutely abhor gerrymandering done to benefit any political party, even Democrats. It is undemocratic.
Several state, in which the opposing party have recently gained control of redistricting, are starting to carve up the states for their parties. Being from NC, myself, the newly contolling, Republican legislature, here, is cutting out and/or merging districts to give the Republicans more of a voting advantage in the 2012 elections. It is suspected, however, that it will be done in vain, however, as many voters in NC ... as in other recently new Republican controlled states, are very very unhappy with the Republican legislatures. I just hope that, should Democrats regain most or more of what they lost in 2010, that they take 2010 as a wake up call and go to work for the taxpayers. A Democrat myself, I have not been pleased with the Democrats the past several years prior to 2010. But, Republicans have proved lot more repulsive for sure.
Why has the research staff of major News organizations failed to tie the Tea Party to white supremacy group think? Watching Politics Nation the other day, I realized that I knew Judson Phillips from the past. KKK and White Citizens Council became apparent after a Google.
