Which btw, is more or less what you're saying when you say that so-called moderates default to a GOP anti-tax position. Those people are not moderates.

No, you said there are "very few" moderates. In fact, roughly 1/3 of voters identify as moderate.

You, who enjoys employing literal out of context readings to support your often picayune disagreements with broader points more than perhaps any other poster on this board, should know better.

As to the indie v. moderates thing, argue with yourself.

On your last point, data? How can you prove that?
