The great divorce By Gary J. Andres, Washington Times:
"Independent voters got fed up and figuratively walked out on Republicans on Tuesday, resulting in a Democratic takeover of Congress. It's too late to stave off this great divorce, and rekindling a romance down the road is a complicated proposition. But the first step in picking up the pieces means figuring out what went wrong.... "
With all due respect to the aging instutition of one man/one woman till death do them part, Gary Andres just got it wrong. Independent voters were never married to the Repubs, and didn't jump into the arms of the Dems in this election. Too late for divorce? Did someone forget to wake me for the wedding???

Some of us were "married" to them and are now enjoying our second life. But yes, it's unfair for Mr. Andres to make such a blanket statement -- which is one of the reasons we have a two-party system in the first place. Too many of our leaders think they need to make it easy on us simple 'Mericans; we can only handle two choices, Door 1 or Door 2, take your pick. Give me a damn break.
