When Democratic Congressional candidates receive over a million more votes than their GOP counterparts, and hardly pick up seats, there's a problem. Especially with suburban districts so chopped up that a Dem needs 1.5 times the votes to beat out the GOP incumbent...

Don't expect a thoughtful reply. People see only what they want to see.

Democrats have their own ways of "rigging the game", namely, by owning the mainstream media, such as Rolling Stone, to help spread their paranoid propaganda.

This is an extremist left-wing rag that glamorizes cute Emo Chechen terrorists that RS owner Jann Wenner fantasizes pile driving him.

Gerrymandering and suppression is what Obama did the last mid term election. Obama abused his authority to undermine the Tea Party by turning loose the IRS and other government agencies to inhibit their progress to organize a national campaign. What a sorry lying weasel he is...

Please provide proof of this via fact checked articles. Thanks. And it would also help your argument to site where the article in the OP link is incorrect.

Also, please provide proof that these Tea Party organizations, under the law, were qualified for tax exemptions and show us that Democratic organizations were not also under IRS scrutiny.

Explain to me how in 1984 Reagan beat Mondale by 17million votes (only 92mil cast in total) yet the house of reps was split +71 in favor of the democrats in that same election. I mean besides the democrats gerrymandering, cheating, voter suppression...

Obama Bundler Bankrolled Libertarian in VA Governor's Race
It's one of the oldest tricks in the book: backing a third candidate in order to beat the main competition. This time, this tactic is being used in the Virginia gubernatorial race by Democrats who are heavily backing "Libertarian" candidate Robert Sarvis in an effort to pull votes away from Republican Ken Cuccinelli.

American will have a choice to vote for the party that was willing to stand on principle to stop or delay Obama care or the party that brought us OBama care and its complete disaster

The reps took control in 2010 prior to the redistricting following the 2010 census.

The reps lost 8 seats in 2012 so things did move towards the popular vote but again....Reagan won in one of the greatest presidential landslides in US history and faced a house that was +71 democrat so you'd have to be a bit oblivious (or are you partisan or very young?) to not remember that.

Going to have to keeping rubbing the dogs noses because they sure seem to be scared of touching that point.

Not only all of that (), but where's the voter suppression? Maybe the OP's referring to the New Black Panthers with clubs standing outside of the voting area in 2008.

As for me, I'm always suspicious of people who associate providing proof of identity to vote with voter suppression, when it has to be provided for many other reasons. Interesting, too, that the same crowd doesn't care about valid votes being canceled out by those who might be voting early, often, or while dead...
