no evidence of more indies? surely you jest... the crowd i'm in gets bigger every day. i'm sick to death of the 2 parties, whose candidates have sold their souls just to attempt to tell us what we want to hear, and then never do it...
and even if people still insist on using the R or D designation, or they are polarized enough to still consider themselves a liberal or conservative, many more people are independent than they realize.
but really, no evidence? look to the last presidential election for evidence. the closest in history... the indies could have swung it either way - even they were split. everyone else was one party or the other, but couldn't decide which mediocre guy to stick in there, so the friggin supreme court had to figure it out for us...
sure, we're all conservatives when it comes to downsizing government, or getting excited over tax cuts.
and we all get excited when we go to war and throw out some dictator. then we throw out the president who did it 4 years later, because he forgot about the economy.
i'm just sick of both sides - conservatives who are always slamming liberals, and vice versa. both sides suck, and the answer (if you can even call it that) is somewhere in the middle.
maybe Rush ain't the GOP posterboy, but you sure couldn't tell down here where i live... and Al may not be the liberal posterboy, but i know how that nut is aligned as well.
i live for the day when someone misconstrues something i've said as being racial. i adopted my daughter from Guatemala, and my skin is as white as Casper the ghost... i've got more relatives with ties from Asia, South America and Africa than from Europe... if i said anything racial they would kill me before any of the minorities i live amongst. my best friends growing up were from the Phillipines, Korea, Cuba, and the projects...
i like being in a group that doesn't really want to be a group... none of them represent me, my friends, or family! sorry for stepping on toes. so easy to do these days... i guess it makes clear what affiliations i DON'T belong to...
