You described my sister to a T. She's smart, educated and follows politics a little bit but is by no means a political junkie or an ideologue. She is the ultimate 'independent'.
We who are this into politics and argue and discuss political details that probably 99% of the country don't know or care about are definitely not the majority.
no shit sherlocks! You two geniuses have got to be fucking kidding me, like I need a lecture on how dumb and clueless americans are. If they knew what the hell was going on, we wouldn't have had two terms of bush.
