Cheney: Some 'wrongs' righted by redistricting map
Associated Press

FORT WORTH -- Vice President Dick Cheney applauded Texas lawmakers on Thursday, saying they worked on "righting some wrongs" in approving a new redistricting plan that likely will send more Republicans to Congress.

After three special sessions, the Texas Legislature gave final approval Sunday to a new map that could give the GOP seven more seats. Texas Democrats now have a 17-15 majority in the U.S. House, but Republicans said new congressional districts were needed to reflect the state's conservative voting trends.

Speaking at a campaign fund-raising luncheon Thursday, Cheney said the GOP also has been buoyed by recent elections putting more Republicans in office, including California Gov.-elect Arnold Schwarzenegger.

"This is shaping up as a Republican year, and I'm confident that in November 2004 the American people are going to re-elect our president for a job well done," Cheney said.

1. None of his business anymore

He wanted to be considered a Wyomingian for the 2000 election, and repudiate his Texas residency. Therefore, he should now BUT OUT of Texas politics.

3. It's Wyomingite

and we never consented to taking him back. He'd probably say Wyomingian, too, he's been gone so long. :evilgrin:

2. I can't think an appropriate, yet legal response

But the big DICK has made his own bed, and I hope he gets to lie in it soon.

6. Here's another way to punctualize the headline

Some "wrongs" are "righted" by redistricting

I'm thoroughly sick of the power grab the repubs are organizing

7. Question for all

Have you ever had a manager or boss type try to sell you what you KNEW was a line of bullshit, and you knew that HE knew it was bullshit?

That's what comes to mind when I think of Invisible Dick.

8. Are you Sending Disapproval To DC and Wyoming?

We all should be. Take a minute and do it.

9. Several wrongs need to be corrected regarding Cheney....

And the fact that he is still in the WH is the first wrong. The wrong regarding Halliburton is another. Lies regarding intelligence on Iraq is the third.......shall I go on?
