Arguing with that guy is fruitless. He’ll never admit he is wrong and he’ll always have the last word. In short a typical Republican noise machine. Turn the key and set it going.

Thanks, Joe. You saved me the trouble of getting mixed up in a senseless tar baby with that flack.

Glad you came back Mr. Cunningham. I had you pegged all right. Talking abut the 1991 redistricting was the typical sleight of hand they warned us about in high school forensics. Pretty soon we would be arguing about something irrelevant. The relevant issue is that the inclusion of Fullerton was a gerrymander – regardles of whether it had been in a previous district with the same number.

I read the post and it was crystal clear. The fact that you interpreted something wrong only reflects on your own comprehension. Fullerton is now connected to these cities by 600 foot wide strip at the 91 Freeway. Look at the maps. When the redistricting was done in 2001 Ackerman obviously kept Fullerton in it. Why did he do that? He’s your pal why don’t you get the answer and report back.

As far as redistricting goes, I’m sure it was far from simple. All those politicians trying to carve up the turkey must have been pretty messy. And judging by our district the results were pretty ugly.

BTW, I’ve been to your site and it’s nothing but an abject stooge operation for Republican politicians so it figures you’d be over here pimping for Ackerman.

Perhaps Joe Sipowitz can tell us what cities should have been added to the 33rd to make up for the population loss caused by excluding Fullerton, and then how he would have re-drawn the lines of the adjacent districts that had their cities leeched away to fulfill your wish of a Fullerton unattached to South County?

After all, you make it sound so simple.

If I might point out, the original post made it out as if including Fullerton in the same district as South County cities was an alien situation and unique to the 2001 re-districting.

That was untrue and misleading, and I corrected it. I’m curious why the poster chose to omit that information in the first place?

Matthew, I did not write the post..

And what you are saying is tantamount to saying dogs chew on bones.

Thanks for the link ACLU Mom. Saved me the trouble. Looks a little fishy, huh #4?
