A Political Force With Many Philosophies

The Washington Post just did a report on the Independent Voter called:

Survey of Independents, Who Could Be Key in 2008, Finds Attitudes From Partisan to Apathetic

"The new survey probes why many Americans prefer to call themselves independent. Three-quarters said voting on the issues, not a party line, is a "major reason" they claim the label, while seven in 10 said a prime factor is that they vote for individual candidates, not parties.

About half said a major reason for their independence is that they agree with Democrats on some issues and Republicans on others, and that they are not comfortable with either party. Four in 10 said not wanting to put a label on their political views is a principal reason for calling themselves independents. Fifteen percent said they are independent because they are simply not very interested in politics."

Which type of Independent are you?
