You're not cutting any slack tonight, are you? :-)

Those "independents" are snails. They have no backbone and very little substance. Sprinkle a little salt on their heads and they would probably shrivel up and disappear?

They can go as the winds blow. In the last election, the winds were blowing against George W Bush and the Republicans so they jumped ship. They can do that because they are "independents". They thought their support for the Repubs had almost destroyed this country. So they joined the Obama campaign or they dropped out of the last election.

Now they have returned. With their arms wrapped around the tea baggers, they are proclaiming themselves "fiscal conservatives", as if they really knew the definition. They are "independents" like Joe Lieberman is an "independent"...
