A decade of deadlock

The gerrymandered house of representatives showcases a majority which is so out of touch with most of America it is almost comical.  The average Republican member is old, white, and for the most part far more wealthy than the average constituent.  They operate with tattered copies of the Rush Limbaugh playbook and look askance at the far more representative Democratic minority; women, African Americans, Asians, Latinos and Gays.  The once a decade redrawing of the country's congressional districts has allowed the Republican dominated legislatures at the time to tilt the representation in Congress to the old white minority.  Time is all it will take to reverse this injustice, but can we wait for population destiny to assert itself before the present Congress does major harm to itself and the country?
