Ala, -Please stop saying that independents don't have strong convictions. I would contend that across the board that independents are stronger in their beliefs than dems or pubs. Why? Because we actually think about each issue, determine how it fits into our individual philosophies, then decide how we will support it. This is a much more thoghtful approach than party centrists who support everything the party platorm supports no matter if this support is contradictory, illogical, etc. -I find it hard to believe that if you're a democrat you can't be pro-gun, or anti-abortion, or pro-defense, etc. I find it equally hard to understand that if you're a republican you can't be anti-assault weapon, pro choice, anti-war. To me teh core party beliefs should deal with central vs decentralized government, low vs high taxes, capitalist vs socialist economy. Other issues such as guns, abortion, religion, feminism, immigration should cut across both parties.
