The issue isn't the gerrymandering per se nor its quality nor whether the GOP version was better or worse than the Dem. version. The issue that is offensive is the fact that since the 2000 census, the GOP has gerrymandered twice in TX.

That is THE issue to you. To me it is a relatively minor issue compared to the other two. Perhaps not a zero issue, perhaps something to be concerned about but not as much as the other two issues.

If you believe in democracy, then the two gerrymandering in three years is a much bigger concern......its sets a new precedent that encourages more of the negatives about which you seem most worried.
