After the 2010 midterm elections the pols in Raleigh made it their business to heavily (and ridiculously) Gerrymander the state,  such that the the NC reps in the U.S. House no longer truly represent the majority of citizens in NC.  Our district,  normally progressive,  was sliced and diced mercilessly to have the rural rightwing basically calling the governing shots for the more progressive urban folks with the absurd changes in district lines... that occurred across the state.   Now some of these extreme reps in Washington are trying to hide their names and true colors,  and Ryan is enabling them.   A lot of sneaky stuff going on.  Fortunately,  if there is an up-side,  they are now sabotaging themselves with their extreme views and unethical tactics.    The so-called repeal and replace proposal was merely a setup shot for defunding government to give even more tax cuts for the obscenely wealthy who already do not pay their fair share,  and care nothing about the less fortunate.
