Re: Do independents think they are cool?
I cast my first presidential vote for Goldwater. I consider him my political mentor. Then When I campaigned for Perot, I mixed a little of him into it. I do not trust either party, both owe their hearts and souls to the big moneyed people who pay them, donate to them their millions and sometimes tens of millions. Then those elected politicians turn around and try to convince us the ten million received from Goldman Sachs or whoever has no influence of the laws they pass.
The really sad part of this, the vast majority of voters believe the politician when they say this. If these moneyed folks aren't stupid, if they didn't get back more in return for their investments in our elected politicians, they wouldn't invest their money.
I'll say this as I've said before. I read you, and it's as if I wrote it.
I differ with both parties on issues that are key to the party. I tend to vote more for the Republicans than the Democrats because on the issues that are really important to me, I disgaree primarily with the Democrats.
In my perfect world we'd find the 2016 version of Goldwater.
