Independent voters

My friend David at the Y told me he's an independent voter. He said he agreed with most everything in President Obama's platform, but he's unhappy with all the spending and considers it reckless. David said, as a result he's not going to vote for Obama again. I told him I don't vote for the better candidate because I'm not sure there is one. I vote for the one who'll do the least harm!

Adlai Stevenson gave this definition of an independent: "An independent is someone who wants to take the politics out of politics."
