I am learning about this in school. I am a definite democrat, and even I don't think what they are ding is right. The republicans should be allowed their own say in the matter. And the goverment can make sure that happens while, practically canceling out the vote with gerrymandering. I think this is a very well written artical with a very good point.

THe scariest part of your op-ed piece is that your opinion is considered worthy of being associated with a major media outlet. ( US News )

Is this really the kind of thing that US News feels is worthy of discussion?

I guess the good news is that more and more of the (UNBIASED) media is admiting that they do have an agenda and they are not unbiased.

Do they pay you for this type of deep thinking? You kind of sound like a ten year of on the playground deciding for everyone else what is 'fair'. A ten year old can only see what they want. And it rarely has anything to do with fair or right.

BTW The ONLY reason I found this article is due to a link from Newsbusters.org. I do NOT read US News or your column

Hey Bonnie, I wonder if you would approve of cheating on the census when George Bush was in office? The days of real journalism are over. Fair and unbiased reporting has become a thing of the past, and it's hard to find a journalist today who isn't busy pushing their own agenda when they are supposed to be reporting the facts. How about exposing things like this for the WRONGS that they are, and trying to make the country a better place instead of flaunting your arrogance? People like you make me sick....

Joseph Stalin would feel so at home with the modern day Dimocrat party. The secret police is not too far behind theses pathetic creatures. I feel sorry for the Erbes of this world, but I feel more sorry for my country.
