Why thank you. I guess being a true independent is simple. We simply read and listen to both sides, try to get past the childish name-calling and other nonsense, and form an opinion regardless of political 'side.' It seems the ignore button is used quite often down here in the basement, as...

Per Fox news, paraphrase: Romney's latest polls show Trump cost him a few points. Pretty funny endorsement overall, considering their past. No debate, no photo op etc. c

Very sad when people get behind their team to such a degree that violence, rudeness, and even death occurs. Makes one think of the parallels to our own partisan Country. What starts out as simple rhetoric, turns to 'have to win at any cost' - then to pure hatred of the other side. Gets...

Please just clarify a bit, for a slow learner. Seriously. I think, as noted, that Romney/Christie/Paul, if that were to happen would be a winning ticket. What is the 'nuclear option?' Just curious. c

Mitt + Christie = strong ticket against Obama. Throw in RP, even stronger. I doubt that will happen, but if something like this does come about, the Republicans have a likely win, IMO. However, now that we're throwing Trump in, it may balance back out to zero. I think Trump should stay in the...

After mistakenly thinking Trump endorsed Newt, I am seeing how funny it is now that Trump is causing a net negative for Romney. I was giving Trump a pass with Obama, since the Donald was the butt of so many jokes at the correspondent's dinner and all that. But, now that he and Mitt are...

Thanks for that, I must have listened to some hype and then got caught up at work. A whole different dynamic now. c

I am sorry for the bad reporting above. My bad, Trump and Mitt, not Trump and Newt. c

Yep. The next few weeks will certainly be fun. And, now with Newt and Trump on the same team, well, even more fun. c

OK, public sector includes the Military, police, teachers, and all the rest. Is it really your argument that the private sector, from WalMart workers to Investment bankers work harder? Look I understand your point. Everyone likes to point at the public workers standing by a shovel on the...

OK, gotta smile at that one. My NYC friends are wondering 'where did winter go?' c

OK, and I guess Bush could claim the same thing. And, he went to Yale, so back to even. At least the second term. I must say, as much as I hated much of Mr. Bush's war making and policies, I always supported him as President. When I saw him in other countries, having things thrown at him...

Honest suggestion, I'm pretty sure you won't consider it. But, let's consider that AK is not really a racist, and that you aren't biased against 'arabs.' More 'Kumbaya" thinking? Or common sense, considering the evidence. I honestly don't think either of you deserve the racist allegation...

Again, using some of the right's allegations. All of the MSm and MSNBC against FOx - overall viewership. Believe it or not, even the MSm has some political shows. More MSM and MSNBC per all the right's own admissions. c

Agree, he only became President of the United States. Makes one wonder just how bad Harvard really is. I know, pretty basic response, but it had to be said by someone. c

You're obviously a better researcher than I am, even though my job was/is research for the last too many years. Thank you for the info. c

OK, fair enough. I still think that many independents will go for Obama over Romney. That's why they call it a 'race' I guess. c

Wow. 'hopium' - 'obummer' - 'fanboy' - nice to see we're having an intellectual discussion. I'll try to look past the silliness and just respond with this. The approval rating is below 50%, when 50% have to say they hate the President no matter what. If the situation were reversed, you would...

Now come on, apples and oranges. Of course Obama has a lower rating than we would all hope for. But, since 50% of the public 'have' to disapprove of everything he does, the pols is a foregone conclusion. Even Obama supporters, even me, aren't real happy with how things have gone. He could have...

Oh, come on. I think both sides are involved, and both sides have similar viewing statistics. Remember, according to many on the right, the MSM is all left, and only Fox the redeemer is on the right side. There are many MSM political shows, of course, not just MSNBC. Not a bad, far reaching...
