<p>“Strategists and the media variously describe independents as ’swingvoters,’ ‘moderates’ or ‘centrists’ who populate a sometimes-undefined middle of the political spectrum. That is true for some independents, but the survey revealed a significant range in the attitudes and the behavior of Americans who adopt the label… “The survey data established five categories of independents: closet partisans on the left and right; ticket-splitters in the middle; those disillusioned with the system but still active politically; ideological straddlers whose positions on issues draw from both left and right; and<br />a final group whose members are mostly disengaged from politics.”</p>
<p>*************</p>
<p>Here&#39;s the subtext to that statement and this article in particular: &#8220;label yourself.  Identify with a GROUP.  Don&#39;t think freely and above all don&#39;t be pragmatic and moral while doing so.  If we can get you to identify with a label then you are more easily predicted, herded and manipulated.&#8221;</p>
