Why Independent Voters Run from Democrats

I just read a great reply to Howard Fineman's article regarding the defection of Independent male voters away from the Democrats. This reply was written by a Michael Vargas. He is an idependent voter like me, who obviously gets it. Obama and his Democratic friends don't get it, and I don't think the Republicans do either. Here is what he said...

"Typical incompetent Beltway blathering; desperate to understand why the Dems will lose, Mark Penn-ian pollsters are quickly interrogated who declare essentially that there's a subset of voters out there who vote based on common sense. No kidding.
Though to be sure, if you are registered with the gangster factions Demo-Rat Party and Rethuglican Party, then you do, indeed, have no common sense.

Here's the scoop for you Fineman, from an "indie male" you and the pollsters are so eager to shove into a box and label: Obama is either an accomplice or a patsy, and both ways a liar.

He said he'd put an end to neocon boondoggles like Gitmo and Middle East warmongering, then he reneged.

The phony "stimulus" exists entirely to preserve the same DemoRat interests that are currently bankrupting cities and states.

The promised "reform" of health care and Wall Street was passed onto an obviously corrupt Congress, who produced legislation welcomed by the very villains necessitating reform, akin to anti-racketeering laws approved by Tony Soprano.
Speaking of the weasel boys of Wall Street, they've escaped repercussion without missing a beat, the latest being this absurd Goldman/SEC settlement. Accomplice or patsy.

If "indie males" are like me, we're aghast that our votes wound up duplicitously spent on a double-down of both neoliberalism and neoconservatism, with a heaping dash of embedded liberalism to placate the wretched DemoRat base. One we could live with if it meant at least stopping the others, but all three??

Speaking of which, your friends, the DemoRats' strategy of raising the spectre of the Rethuglicans won't work.

Yes, we hate them. But we hate yours ever more.
At least we know where the Rethuglicans stand; simple antagonistic malice, like Sauron the flaming eyeball from the Lord of the Rings.
The DemoRats are instead Brad Douriff's "Wormtongue" character: endlessly whispering pieties and promises in your ear, and before you know it you are withered, impotent, and firmly under control."
