Can't Win If They Don't Cheat...

POWER GRAB: State GOP Rams Through Jaw-Dropping Redistricting Plan
Virginia Redistricting 2013: State GOP Rams Bill Through Senate In Absence Of Democratic Sen. Henry Marsh

Virginia Democrats are raising hell after Republicans unexpectedly rammed a controversial redistricting bill through the state Senate on Monday, capitalizing on the absence of a Democratic lawmaker and civil rights leader who was in Washington for President Barack Obama's second inauguration.

The Virginia Senate is currently split evenly between Democrats and Republicans, each occupying 20 seats in the legislative body. Democratic State Sen. Harry Marsh's absence paved the way for passage of the previously unannounced legislation by a count of 20 votes to 19.

Gee, imagine my surprise... When you can't win with ideas, .... cheat. Standard GOTP procedure...Nothing to see here folks, move on.

:rofllol Good job boys!
Silly Dems, so easy to trick. Naive crybabies! :crying2:

I would expect nothing less from you.

(Hence my ever-dwindling opinion of teabaggers and right-wingers... Although it's already down at the pond-scum level...I don't know that it can go much lower.)

Dems just upset they didn't think of it first. And it isn't cheating. If the Dems are stupid enough to leave a legal opening, you take advantage of it.

Remember when the Dem legislature in Texas walked out to deny the Republicans a quorom, you didn't call that cheating.

Yes..It IS cheating... Was it illegal? Probably not.. But then the GOTP is famous for that.

GOP famous for keeping things legal? Versus Dems like Mayor Nagin who was taking kickbacks from Hurricane Katrina suppliers and now under indictment.

Do you REALLY want to go down this path, Fred?... I'm more than happy to do so...But you're really getting tiresome using the same crap over and over again, and then just getting slapped down...

* Rep. Troy King (R-AL) - Notoriously anti-gay Republican Alabama Attorney General Troy King was supposedly caught in his marital bed, by his wife, sexing it up with a young, gay, male assistant!!! While in office, Troy's worked on outlawing homosexuality AND sex toys. Troy has supposedly been banished from his home by his wife. King was a potential GOP frontrunner for Governor in 2010 and an early endorser of presidential hopeful John McCain. We're assuming that the GOP will not be supporting their allegedly gay comrade. It's been speculated that King will be resigning from his AG position soon.

Lee resigned after Gawker published a shirtless photo the congressman sent to a woman he met through Craigslist.

Or maybe something a little more recent, like the investigation of Nathan Sproul, for voter-registration fraud in SEVEN states...for the GOTP...
