    I don't necessarily disagree with that statement but who/what exactly are "the Independents"? I don't believe they are a monolithic group with a common ideology that can be "appealed to".

    Some "Independents" are disaffected conservatives that have left the GOP because of their pandering to moderates, some are libertarians, still others are Marxists, and yet others pledge their allegiance to the Reptilian Alien Conspiracy ... how does one "appeal to Independents" when they're such a disparate group?

    Modern liberalism is based on the idea that reality is obligated to conform to one's beliefs because; "I have the right to believe whatever I want".

    "Everything the State says is a lie, and everything it has it has stolen.
