Embarassment? Shame? Apology? For what? pointing out that your beloved trisham defined herself in one place as a conservative and in the other as an idependent? Sorry, you can't be both.

But we can. An independent is someone who is not affiliated with any specific party.

The GOP left many of us with the prominence of people like McCain, Romney, Graham, et al, whose ideology is far too left for us.

So, what trisham means is that she is not affiliated with any of the parties, but is politically conservative.

(Right, trisham?)

I can relate to this, because I'm the same way.

You are exactly right, Allegra.

Correct. I am a Tea Party Conservative and vote for GOP TEA Party conservatives, but in my state, we are all just registered voters, and have to ask for a particular party’s ballot, so that makes me an “independent” by default and that’s fine with me.
