Reply #97: Hellooooo! I'm one of those Independents you discount [View All]

And as a former Missourian I noticed you said it was the R's who flipped it to Obama, completely ignoring the Indy vote that went 67 to 30 for Obama. I'll have you know that even though I'm an Independent, in 2006 I went door to door for Claire McCaskill and did phone banking to help her get elected, so I'm really having a little trouble with this particular line of tripe that says indys shouldn't be allowed to participate. In fact, if you read up a litle bit on Independents, you'll find out that many are even more progressive than the average Democrat, and that we make up about 30% of voters in this country.

Too bad you don't like it that some states have open primaries. Too bad you don't like it that Independents get to choose to vote on either ballot in a primary. That's why some folks are Independents. That's the way it is. Deal with it and quit whining, for goshsake.
