“... surveys mistake people with diverse political opinions for people with moderate political opinions.”
Uh huh.
There are NO such thing as moderate’s AND there are NO such thing as ‘independent’s’.
With all the rabidly toxic rhetoric going on and with two consecutive national elections demonstrating the extreme polarity of the US voters, HOW on earth can anyone maintain that ‘independents’ OR moderates exist?
My brother works in Philly, and his co-workers are pro-life, pro-gun and pro-death penalty, but all vote democrat.
“Moderates” are people who readily admit they don’t pay attention to what is going on.
What is the moderate position on the percentage of dog crap that should go into ice cream?
I believe a lot of the swing voters are some of those who are gays and abortion, but are smart enough to know that Obama’s policies are hurting them in the wallet.
If they’re determined to be illegal, what additional due process is required?
For some reason the old Loudon Wainwright III song
“Dead Skunk in the Middle of the Road” is now stuck
in my head.
