Never underestimate the power of incompetence, part II

What Ace had to say about independents reminded me of my prior post on incompetence.

quote:

That's a bit of ego in this cohort -- they're not partisans. They do not make decisions based only only on partisanship or ideology. They make decisions based upon "facts" (but the fact is, they know fewer facts than partisans on either side of the aisle).

comment:

If it is really true that independents are just poseurs who really don't know what they are doing, then we will get an election result that is largely due to incompetence.  That's because the partisans will cancel each other out and the independents will be the ones who decide.

As usual, I will try anyway.  I have a tendency to try to fight unwinnable battles.  By the way, partisans are the real believers, and I've had something to say about ideology that won't  please these people on either side of the political divide.

Something's wrong, judging by the polls.  An ideological solution isn't really a solution at all.  It just sends us around the merry go round once again.
