What side are we on anyway?

What is going on in the world of politics? It seems that political parties are being turned on their heads. Republicans are going independant, democrats are going independant. Both parties are crossing the isle. Why is everyone wanting to be an independant for the most part? Is it because it is the safest spot to be? I believe that is what people believe. It is easier to be on the fence or possible the majority side. Because today no one wants to be associated with the Republicans due to associations with former President Bush and his war policies and no one wants to be associated with Democrats due to the recent falters of Democratic policy wavering, such as rising unemployment, healthcare issues and indecision about Afghanistan. Independants have leaned both towards the Republicans and the Democrats in the past couple of years but now in this time of political unrest, they are not leaning towards either party. I can honestly say that I do not blame them. The way people commit to political parties, it can be dangerous to associate with one or the other. People are very sensitive to political issues and often defend their values and beliefs fully. It seems that change has been comming and it is now here. People are aligning themselves wtih the Independants and leaving their own parties.
