I remain independent and apolitical. Labels are ludicrous and, I feel, have lost their meaning (i.e. Dem./Rep; Liberal/Conservative; Left/Right)...I simply speak out against whatever I believe to be a seen or perceived injustice on any particular issue, let the labels fall where they may! I could never be a Party Parrot. (And I agree with insel that the S.C. Shutdown and appointing of a Pres. was the worst of it all with serious Constitutional consequences for the future) And, yeah, we are here more for the words, so...words coined from politics:

Gerrymandering, filibuster, straw ballot, chad (oops, there I go again!) Add some, folks.
