Ever heard of cutting off

Ever heard of cutting off your nose to spite your face?

Ipse Dixit has it here:

You probably didn't it in the media accounts but the redistricting bill the Texas GOP wanted to pass last month was intentionally designed to create more minority-majority districts, increasing the representation of blacks and Hispanics in the Congress. So the state Democrats' walkout last month "killed a plan that would have added a black Congressional district and several Hispanic districts. Killing the plan did manage to preserve all the Dems' white districts, though." Oops!

Of COURSE we didn't hear about THAT in the media. We did hear about how horrible the Republicans were for sending the Texas Rangers after these runaway Dems. We did hear about how these guys were standing up for what they believe in.
But we didn't hear about how they were sabotaging their own efforts. Or WERE they? Are the Dems as "liberal" as they seem?
