Jim Jordan was imposed on us for egregiously partisan reasons. Now hes afflicting the nation.
When Jordan slithers out from under his rock each morning, dons a shirt and tie - sans the jacket, lest he be mistaken for Joe McCarthy - his lifes work is to besmirch everything America stands for in service of Donald Trump

(3,678 posts)4. It's critical of Dem gerrymandering too:
Of all the regions in all the states in all the country, Jim Jordan got dragged into ours. There was no good reason to punish Greater Cleveland by making the person whos now the second most contemptible human being in the entire U.S. government part of the regions delegation to Congress. Worse yet, the betrayal was bipartisan.
When Ohios political and legislative leaders were drawing new congressional boundaries prior to the 2012 election, Democrats wanted a district that would protect U.S. Rep. Marcia Fudge. Republicans wanted districts that would elect the maximum number of GOP congressmen. And some people from both parties wanted a district that would likely lead to the defeat of longtime Cleveland Rep. Dennis Kucinich.
They all got what they wanted.
But to make it work required drawing a hideously gerrymandered district for the southwest Ohio congressman, one that meanders some 200 miles from near Dayton north into Lorain County near Cleveland.
And now its fitting that Republicans have given this seven-term sycophant a starring role in the televised House Intelligence Committee impeachment hearings against President Donald Trump.
