Reminds me of the sizeable clique of snooty State Dept. retirees who live in my Florida community. By rote, they tell one and all that they are "independents". It was rote they utilized for cover during their careers working for State.
However, when I sit in my little corner as a primary election day poll watcher, I see every one of them request a Democrat ballot and march into the Democrat booth, ho ho ho.
News commentators do this also if they even dare to vote at all in the primaries and reveal their true party affiliation. All these chicken shi'ites sure like to hide the fact they're Dem socialists.
Me? I strut into the Republican booth proud as all hell.
