Party politics
For over 200 years, the political scene has been dominated by either the Democrat or Republican Party. The Libertarian Party has grown in size over the past decade but is still pretty much a non-factor in elections. The major influence in most elections are folks like myself, staunch IndependentsMost of us are centrisys. I am a center-right voter depending on the issue. I never vote straight-party line on national or state elections. I actually research the candidates & issues and then vote my conscience.

I have to agree, but can feel frustrated when trying to research candidates. This is because of all the spin talk that goes on, they are trying to please everyone. It is very frustrating when the candidates do not keep their language clear and precise. I think all they worry about is casting the largest net in order to catch the most votes.
