It's my perception that "independent" just means inconsistent. Independents vote as conservatives on some issues and as liberals on others. My sister-in-law is an example. She's pro-abortion but opposed to the death penalty (no, I can't explain it).

In my youth I was registered as a democrat. It's been more than 20 years since I left the democrat party, but I never registered as a republican...so I'm an independent. But I am a Christian and a conservative, so I have very little choice when voting given the extreme stance of the democrat party, but with the idiots running the republican party I'm not inclined to join that side either.

The only percentage I really care about is what percent of ACORN is left standing. Hopefully 3% or less.
