Independents are stupid.

Put not so bluntly, this is basically the statement that I have heard from late night radio's Jim Bohannon. He said that the elitist rogue status that has become synonymous with the "Independent" affiliation is largely misplaced. Basically, if Independents had principles or more knowledge then they wouldn't be Independents. They would be Biparty (Republican-Democrat) members.

What do you think about these sentiments?

Do you agree?

As for myself, I am Independent BECAUSE I HAVE PRINCIPLES.

A Unity pick: Obama and Bloomberg

New York's Mayor Mike Bloomberg is an American businessman and philanthropist. He gained his vast wealth as the founder of Bloomberg LP. He became mayor, first as a Democrat, then as a Republican, and I believe he is now simply Independent. This biparty history combined with his prominence made Mr. Bloomberg a much debated upon likely candidate for the Unity08 ticket. The founders of the currently disbanded third party had made mention of Unity's thought contribution to his possible independent run for the Oval office. Whether or not Unity members carried much weight in the titan's opinion is a mute point with members recognizing early on that our need for a strong candidate was much larger than the billionaire's need for our online third party. He has opted not to run anyway. He ended speculation on the matter in a February 2008 New York Times piece where he was quoted, "I listened carefully to those who encouraged me to run, but I am not — and will not be — a candidate for president."

He originally showed interest in running with Barack Obama as his veep, but now with Barack's strong takeover of the Democratic party some have whispered of a Vice President Bloomberg to a President Obama. What do you think? Do you even like Bloomberg?
