That's one of my biggest rubs about independents. They see virtue in lacking clarity. They really have no core values, only a mishmash of beliefs that are all over the place. What they see as nuanced is in my mind foggy at best and more likely at times wildly confused (i.e., I am mad about the Bush deficits so I vote for Obama even though any reasonable person knew he was going to be much, much worse).

You may not agree with my conservative principals but they are fact-based, well thought out, carefully considered, tested with historical and current events and have stood the test of time (i.e., they actually work versus liberal ideas which have never worked but make them feel good because they tried and its really their intent that matters, not the end result). Independents want to claim some moral high ground because they are not ideological but in fact they are just as ideological, its just they have created their own discordant ideology based on who knows what.
