19. I don't think Independents are any less controlled...

or prey to the system. I don't even think most of them are any more independent. They just chose a different label.

I mean, most of them voted for a series of ideas and are getting none of them fulfilled. We voted for peace, and the war is just moving to a different chanel, Afghanistan. We voted because Obama would bring a more honest and open administration. It is opaque. We voted for someone to fix the economy, and we are being told it is getting better but seeing none of the results of better.

Politicians use words, catch phrases, and images that appeal to us, deliver almost nothing, and blame it on the other guy.
