I’m not an expert and I may get this wrong but here goes:
1) They do a census every 10 years
2) Political powers redistribute districts based on the census (supposedly)
3) Redistricting is supposedly required to make things fair and balanced
4) It can be used to tilt power from district to another
5) In this case, they are loading traditionally demoncratic constituents into his district
6) This will stack the deck against him come next election – fewer repubicans
7) Why are they doing this? The census told them to
So it shifts the delgates from one district to another
9) Now it’s something like 24 demoncrat vs. 25 repubicanThe bottom line is that the establishment will punish those who oppose it. Allen West is an outspoken conservative and Tea Party darling, he must pay.

I remember much of the circus nature of it, I just wasn’t sure if I understood it all. I love being taught in Scoop school!

LOL I remember all the hanging, dangly flopping chads- that was pathetic. But thanks
I’m not in his district, where ever that may end up being, but I’ll support him in any way I can- even if it’s only through prayers. -
Oh, puleeeze, My born friend, please do not use the word “only” with the word “prayers.”

On a further note, the Muslim outreach coordinator at NASA said that they just took a picture of Congressman West’s new district from space. There is nothing special about the new district, as it looks like a spiral hitting every Democrat and missing all their neighbor Republicans. Just typical politics, nothing to see here, folks

Did you hear by the way that the Mohammadins are refusing to go on the space station? Yeah, didn’t work out. With the space station spinning around the earth 16 times a day , by the time they get done praying, their arse is facing Mecca.

Will Weatherford: The Florida legislature has NOT targeted Allen West
The other day we quoted Shark-Tank as suggesting that the Republican legislature was trying to redistrict out of existence Allen West in Florida. The man targeted in that quote was Will Weatherford, who has since released this statement saying that this is patently false, that in fact he has supported Allen West and will continue to do so:
As the House Chairman of Redistricting, I have the responsibility to ensure there is a fair, open, and legally compliant process. The newly approved constitutional amendments, passed by more than 60% of Florida voters, require the legislature to follow a set of standards. This is the first time the legislature has been required to follow these legal standards
These new standards have resulted in disrupting the current districts for incumbents. The Tampa Bay Times stated that the House, Senate, and Congressional maps represent “a record-breaking shakeup in incumbency.” It has been reported that at least 38 members of the Florida legislature do not currently live in their district.
There are rumors that the Florida Legislature has targeted Congressman Allen West. This is patently false. I personally have supported and endorsed Allen West. I will continue to support this extraordinary member of Congress who has brought a much needed conservative voice to Washington, D.C.
However, my personal support cannot and will not trump the Constitution.
Sounds about right.
