The best illustration of how independents make policy judgements.

I know that there are smart, well informed independents out there but in my experience they are few and far between.  The typical 'independent' is a weather vane.  Literally in the case of global warming beliefs.  I suspect their other beliefs are equally unconnected to fact or logic - it's just that fundamental irrationality is harder to measure for economic policy than the weather.


Yet these are the people who decide who rules us.  My God, my God, why have You forsaken us?
