what's wrong with Independent? Can't we chose on platforms, on issues? Do you always vote along party lines? - this is crazy....
Don't we look at personal record of those we elect? I voted many times for Reps, and many times for Dems. Locally a number of Reps I know are trustworthy, they have a record of doing healthy things for the community, so why do I have for others- just because of their label? This would be just herd mentality.
