19. Really? I find that hard to believe...
Edited on Fri Mar-11-11 03:26 AM by Drunken Irishman
I do not respect an independent voter. I think they're the dumbest group of voters out there. They're the same people who, two years ago, supported Pres. Obama and then, last November, decided they'd switch to the far-right and back a cluster of idiotic tea-party candidates.

Independent voters are generally voters too stupid to formulate an opinion. So they rely on superficial and vapid reasons to support whomever they think is the best candidate.

It's why we go from Clinton to Bush to Obama to...?

At least Republicans have their ideology and aren't as fickle as a teenage girl in a shopping mall.

In fact, I think that sums up independent voters to a tee!

"Oh My God! I LOVE THIS DRESSSSS!!!!!!! IT IS THE GREATEST THING EVAAAAAAR!!!!! I WANT!!!"

Two minutes later...

"Oh My God! THIS DRESS IS THE ONE I WANT! I'M POSITIVE MOM! GET ME THIS DRESS!"

A week later the dress sits at the bottom of the closet.

They're idiotic voters who should not be allowed to vote. No one can be undecided or indifferent or independent on anything.

If you're an independent, it means you're too stupid to grasp the issues or you're too stupid to care.

Seriously. Where do independents stand on the issues? Are they pro-choice? If they were, they certainly wouldn't be electing Republicans. Are they pro-environment? If they were, they certainly wouldn't be electing Republicans. Are they pro-worker? If they were, they certainly wouldn't be electing Republicans.

Yet they supported Bush in two elections and then turned around and supported Obama in 2008...only to turn around and support a reactionist Republican in 2012? They're idiots. Plain and simple. The dumbest voters out there.

Because if you're whoring yourself out for votes and not actually voting the issues, you're a tool. And that's exactly what they do. They don't vote the issues or they wouldn't be so erratic in their style. You can't vote for a Republican if you care about a set core of issues they spend a lifetime fighting against. You can't vote for a Democrat if you care about a set of core issues they spent a lifetime fighting against.

So they're openly admitting those issues aren't important to them. That's where they turn to pathetic reasons to vote for a candidate. In 2000, it was because Al Gore was a stiff and boring and Bush was the guy you could have a beer with. What will it be in 2012? Pres. Obama is just too elitist! We need a average 'merican as president!

They look at elections as nothing more than beauty pageants.

Pathetic.
