But just how independent are these so-called political independents? As it turns out, not very, according to recent surveys by The Washington Post.
Surprise.

The overwhelming majority of independents do favor one party or the other.
Surprise.

And even more importantly, they are largely indistinguishable in terms of their core political beliefs and policy preferences from Americans who readily identify themselves as Republicans or Democrats.

"You scratch independent leaners and you will find closet partisans,"
Surprise. And I would say that is just as true of our independents on this thread as of those in that poll. You and Steven, for example, have definite "leanings" and it isn't towards Republicans.

Think about that the next time you are tempted to throw rocks at JLA and I for our "partisan" stances. The only real difference may be that we call a spade a spade.
