Independents, Like the Marc Chamot Report & Others, are the New Majority Voice to Reckon With in American Politics According to Gallup/Pew Surveys:
By Marc Chamot

Are we the new voice to reckon with? It looks like Independents are going to be the future in the unraveling of Washington’s constant partisanship gridlock that both parties keep on insisting in using on policies and politics as usual.

According to previous Gallup and new Pew Research Center surveys, Independents are the new majority of Americans and yes, like the Marc Chamot Report. But, is that right? Well sort of.

We’re also being called a “fickle” group, with no uniform opinions, but our dominance in American politics carries potential risks for emboldened Democrats and opportunities for waning Republicans.

What this new research shows is that this country hasn’t become more ideologically liberal (left) or conservative (right), despite sweeping Democratic victories lately.

Findings indicate, we the people (the Independents), could be potentially dangerous for President Barack Obama and his fellow Democrats who control congress, if they move too far left with their domestic and foreign policies and other agendas. Which is very good news for Republicans.

Most of us were crucial during the elections for the Democrats and Obama’s success, but we could just as easily be ticked off, by their constant arrogance and also by their do nothing policies of late. This survey also shows that the GOP was only rejected by us for poor performances, not because of disagreements on key issues.

On issues, our Independent viewpoints don’t fit into most liberal left and conservative right frameworks.

“Independents” have pretty much become the trump cards in American politics for now.

We don’t see things one way like the other two parties that do, and were not into partisan politics, unlike the way most Left-Wingers Democrats and Right-Wingers Republicans are.

Survey shows that American Independents are the new majority in American politics, 36% of us, are Independents, while 35% are Democrats, and 23% are Republicans.

Among Independents, 17% of us lean towards Democrat, while 12% of us lean Republican, meanwhile the simple majority of us, like me, we couldn’t care less about party affiliations, unless they are DOING their DAMN jobs.

Even though Pew has this wrong in my opinion:

I think the more correct way of saying is most of us Independents, tend to lean closely to Democrats on social issues, like labor, the wars, jobs, the economy, and some welfare help for the poor and downtrodden.

We also lean conservative on the taxes, religion, pro-gun, pro-life and national security. We may support expanded government interventions and regulations in the private sectors, even though reluctantly.

What was more interesting, a couple other hot button issues were intentionally left out this research on Independents, like illegal immigration, amnesty and NAFTA. I am sure that they wouldn’t have liked the answers to those questions, because it would have been in print if they were more in their FAVOR.

That also may explain as to why the Marc Chamot Report News is becoming more popular among certain circles, most of my blog postings detail Independent views on American politics. While still getting support and fans from both, conservatives and moderate Democrats. True Liberals and far left-wing Nut-Cases despise the Marc Chamot Report and never read it, which I couldn’t care, less about it, while right-wing conservatives do tolerate it.

Even though I claim to be “fair and bi-partisan” sometimes, I do exceed to the extreme conservative on some of my views through some of my blog postings.

The real unsung hero for the American Independent movement is without a doubt, CNN’s news anchor Lou Dobbs.

I believe that Lou Dobbs has done an outstanding job, in showing the American public at large, the biases coming from both parties in charge, and as the days go by, and these two parties just keep showing us more and more, of their total ineptness and ineffectiveness in the way they are running this country.

"If politicians don't want to listen to us, I'm afraid we'll have to do THEIR jobs for them."
