Nancy Pelosi Hates Gerrymandering…Unless Democrats Are Doing It

144 Comments

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has spoken out frequently and strongly against the practice of gerrymandering – a term that refers to elected officials redrawing voting districts in such a way that makes it easier for their parties to win in future elections. But despite Pelosi’s on-the-record condemnation of the practice, she apparently felt no compunction about giving $300,000 to a Democrat group that…is geared towards gerrymandering districts in favor of the party.

According to FCC records, Pelosi funneled that amount from her leadership PAC into the National Democratic Redistricting Committee last year. This would seem to be in contradiction to her 2019 remarks, in which she slammed the Supreme Court for upholding the practice. At that time, she said gerrymandering threatens to “compromise the integrity of our democracy.”

“This ruling greenlights the unjust and deeply dangerous practice of gerrymandering, which robs Americans of their right to have an equal voice in their government,” she said. “Traditionally underserved communities, especially communities of color, risk losing the representation and resources they rightfully deserve.”

It’s not clear what changed Pelosi’s mind between then and now. We wouldn’t dare suggest that it’s merely to do with which party happens to have the money and the power!

Now, of course, the NDRC doesn’t advertise itself as a group looking to gerrymander districts into Democrat domination. Led by former Attorney General Eric Holder, the group portrays itself as an anti-gerrymandering organization dedicated to bringing back fair, reasonably-drawn voting districts.

“There’s no other way to put it. Since 2011, Republicans gerrymandered the country more aggressively than at any time in our history. The result? Your vote might not count the way you think it does. It’s wrong — and we’re here to fix it,” the NDRC says on their website. “We’re dedicated to a comprehensive redistricting strategy that shifts the redistricting power, creating fair districts where Democrats can compete.”

But see…that’s gerrymandering! Does anyone really believe that Holder and the rest of the lefties involved in this group are going to go into states and push for perfectly-square, blind districts that take nothing but geography into account? Of course not. This isn’t about eliminating gerrymandering; it’s about making sure Democrats are given a chance to do it in such a way that lets THEM win instead of Republicans.

  31. The size of the home has a lot to do with the value of the job. Some companies decide to charge extra fees when the house is over 3000 square feet. Several firms even charge by number of rooms and bathrooms and don’t even use hours as a consideration to the cost. A deep cleaning in a 5 bedroom home that is 4000 sq. ft is going to take much more longer than a cleaning in a 5 bedroom that’s just 2900 sq. ft. Businesses will almost always ask about the square footage when providing an estimate or a quote and that’s even more important when the customer chooses a deep cleaning instead of a regular cleaning.  Housekeepers generally clean only residences, but businesses can hire professional cleaning services, too. Some primary factors for determining cleaning costs for businesses are the square footage of the area to be cleaned, the type of flooring and whether it requires mopping or vacuuming, and the number of bathrooms. Cleaning services often send a team of professionals to clean large office spaces, whereas for a single-family home, they may send only one cleaning person. https://3-5sfg.net/index.php?action=profile;area=forumprofile;u=320414 Featuring an eco-friendly cleaner and virucide, along with low waste supplies for businesses wanting to create and maintain safe cleaning protocols for back to work, while protecting both people and planet.

  42. I believe what you wrote was very logical. But, what about this?
    suppose you wrote a catchier post title? I ain’t suggesting your information isn’t solid, however what if you added a headline to maybe grab folk’s attention? I mean Nancy Pelosi Hates Gerrymandering…Unless Democrats Are Doing It – Conservative Free Press
    is kinda vanilla. You might look at Yahoo’s front page and
    watch how they create post headlines to grab people to click.
    You might add a video or a pic or two to grab people interested about
    what you’ve got to say. In my opinion, it would bring your posts a little livelier.

  49. This design is wicked! You definitely know how to keep a reader amused.
    Between your wit and your videos, I was almost moved to start my own blog (well,
    almost…HaHa!) Great job. I really loved what
    you had to say, and more than that, how you presented it.

    Too cool!

  51. I’ve been browsing online more than three hours today, yet I never found any interesting article
    like yours. It’s pretty worth enough for me. In my view,
    if all website owners and bloggers made good content as you did, the internet will be much more useful than ever
    before.

  52. I know this if off topic but I’m looking into starting my own weblog and was
    curious what all is needed to get set up? I’m assuming having a blog like yours
    would cost a pretty penny? I’m not very internet savvy so I’m not 100%
    certain. Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated.
    Kudos

  54. Heya! I realize this is somewhat off-topic
    however I had to ask. Does building a well-established blog like yours require
    a large amount of work? I’m completely new to blogging however
    I do write in my journal every day. I’d like to start a
    blog so I can share my own experience and thoughts online.
    Please let me know if you have any kind of suggestions or tips for new aspiring bloggers.
    Appreciate it!

  56. Hello there! I know this is kinda off topic however I’d figured I’d ask.
    Would you be interested in exchanging links or maybe guest
    authoring a blog article or vice-versa? My site goes over a lot of the same subjects as yours and I think
    we could greatly benefit from each other. If you’re interested feel free to shoot me an e-mail.

    I look forward to hearing from you! Great blog by the way!
