Most "independents" are anything but.
They tend to vote for the same party over and over, yet keep that label because it gives them the appearance of being open-minded politically. But they're just as partisan as anyone else.
The Obama campaign in 2012 admitted that they didn't give a shyt about polls showing Mitt Romney winning the so-called "independents." They knew it was meaningless. In fact, a large number of Tea Party folks identify as independents even though they're probably the most partisan group out there.
Romney won the "independent" vote by 5 points and still lost easily... John Kerry won them by 9 points in 2004 and lost too!
I'm not understanding what part of this post I'm suppose to care about, let's say I vote republican, so what?
