Definition of an Independent

Just prior to stepping outside this morning, to wield my shovel, I caught a comment emanating from the Today Show, which Melis was watching to catch school closings that were scrawling across the bottom of the screen.  The comment, was something to the effect that independent voters made a marked difference in the New Hampshire primary.

Here’s my definition of an independent voter.  An unprincipled individual, who will pledge their vote to whomever will provide them with what they want.  An independent’s vote can be purchased by whomever offers the independent what the independent needs, at that time.  If the independent’s need changes, and the vote needer’s offers do not suit the independent’s need change, the independent will sell the vote to the next highest bidder.
