It seems the gerrymandered GOP districts and the Tea Party in general are not budging and will probably never budge until voters actually vote someone else to replace them.
Rough stuff.
But, honestly...I understand when these politicians fight for whats best for the people who actually voted them into office. Not exactly the best thing for America, but still they are doing what they see is right by them and by the people who allowed them that 175k a year.
