In other words, he got elected thanks to gerrymandering. Meanwhile his district is among the poorest, oldest, and least educated in NC.
Quote:
He was elected in 2012 and succeeded Democrat Heath Shuler, who decided not to run for reelection after the latest round of redistricting made the district swing heavily Republican.
We're talking about Mark Meadows here. (this is my second reply to this post) Who is suppose to have been elected according to this poster by gerrymandering. Okay so let's look at:
Party Line Vote
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Party-line_vote
"The ultimate threat is to support another candidate in the primary election which is a threat made possible by gerrymandering that ensures the success of a particular party's candidate."
"“It’s obvious why the majority has cooked up this amendment in secret, has introduced it in the middle of a snowstorm, has scheduled the Senate to come in session at midnight, has scheduled a vote for 1 a.m., is insisting that it be passed before Christmas — because they don’t want the American people to know what’s in it,” said Senator Lamar Alexander, Republican of Tennessee. "

They still hadn't read it yet. And they were not given the time to do so, by the President. You may also want to note that many in the democratic party did not like this law either---thus the gerrymandering way it came to be.
This is why our government has shut down. There was never a true vote on this; gerrymandering was used as the President forced it, rushed it and called the play book. Now, can he deal, when the cards are being dealt back to him the same way?
Love him or hate him, the guy is our president right now. Closing an open memorial to the visiting World War II veterans is just wrong! On every level! We owe these guys our freedom. Too many of them paid the ultimate price for these kind of shenanigans to occur in our society.
When the door is closed it is closed to all. There is no distiction to whom is at the door.
That is like saying the WWII memorial was closed to black folk. How horrible that Obama discriminates against blacks.
Also confirmed: @OMBPress gives special exception to officers solely to enforce #WWIIMemorial barricade. @OMBPress part of @WhiteHouse.
and even better
House Democrats and Senate Democrats refuse to allow Legislation that would allow the Park Service employees to go back to work. Obama said he would VETO any Legislation that allowed any Federal workers to go back to work and any Legislation that would help Veterans.
The Truckers hit D.C. tomorrow - the Patriot riders may come back also. Obama is out of control and out of his mind to try and close down open Memorials that have ALWAYS been open 24 hours a day.
So, basically, republicans are outraged that their plan to shut down the government, has resulted in a shutdown of the government. It's always fun to see Michelle Malkin's Temper Tantrum Brigade get in on the act, though.
Don't like it? Tell your republican reps to do their jobs, pass a clean CR, and work with the Dems on the budget like they'd been asking for the past half year.

Same difference.
Except the door wasn't closed. It's always open. They had to go and find barricades just to block it off. This isn't like a museum. Obama is such a petty person.
