Excerpts:<\/p>\n

\u201cHouse Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi, a Catholic mother of five from San Francisco, has fewer children in her district than any other member of Congress: 87,727. Rep. Chris Cannon, R-Utah, a Mormon father of eight, represents the most children: 278,398.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cGOP Congress members represent 39.2 million children younger than 18, about 7 million more than Democrats. Republicans average 7,000 more children per district.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cRep. Jos\u00e9 Serrano, D-N.Y., has 227,246 children in his Bronx district, the 10th most in the House. Only 29% of those children live with married parents. By contrast, 84% of children live with married parents in Cannon\u2019s central Utah district.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cDemocrats control only one of the 50 districts with the highest marriage rates.\u201d<\/p>\n

And now watch as the Democrat lays on the bullshit:<\/p>\n

\u201cRep. Rush Holt, D-N.J., who represents the most-married Democratic district (32nd overall), discounts the importance of the marriage rates. \u2018It\u2019s a statistic without meaning,\u201d he says. \u201cIf you look at numbers from enough different angles, you can see almost anything.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Got that? 49 of the 50 most-married congressional districts are Republican and that supposedly means nothing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
