Well, remember that when the GOP was in power, they had the Independents with them.

They had the independents who care about containing government spending, and the independents who recognized the corruption under the Democrats.

Then they showed that they (the particular Republicans who where in power) where big spenders, and a number of them where also corrupt, and they lost the independents.

When they lost power the Independents went with the Dems.

Who haven't shown themselves to be any better on spending, corruption (both in the narrow sense, and the wider sense that the whole political system is somewhat corrupt), or deficits.

The independents that wanted big government and heavy regulation, where mostly voters for the Dems even when the Republicans where at their high point in terms of power and/or popularity.
