"This breed" is probably 70% "that breed" with about 20% crazy-ass teabagger loonies. Which sort of puts the looniness effect in perspective.

That chart shows what the impacts of Gerrymandering do to your government. It is also why the system feels like it is stuck in the 1970's.

Oh, it's a catastrophic chart, no doubt. But the idea that "ZOMG Tea Party has taken over teh govermintz" flies in the face of just how stupefyingly incumbent American politics tends to be.
