3. That's how fucking retarded this all is.

Republicans are worse on every issue that retarded independents say they are voting on.

This country is fucked.

4. Irrelevent question. They don't like what theyre getting so far, so they'll go the other way.

The whole of our political system is stuck in a rut. If you don't like what one team is doing, what choice do you have except change sides?

There's no subtlety in backlash -- all people have is their vote. And all people have to vote for is either this team or that team. If you're unhappy with one team, your only way to express it is by voting for the other team.

People don't actually believe in politician's promises, they're not THAT stupid. They simply react in the moment -- either they feel good about what's happening and want to stay with the team that's doing what they like, or they DON'T like what's happening; in which case they can't do anything except switch teams.

It's not rocket science. It's nothing but a useless ping-pong game.

5. They don't care..

... fact is, it would be hard for the Repugs to outdo the Dems on this giveaway.

Secondly, it's not about "who would do better" it's about punishing the incumbent when it seems he is not doing his job.

6. Independents like to be the center of attention.

The media certainly helps by always talking about how the Independent vote is going.
