An American political advocate, comes in three flavors.
1. Someone who subscribes to no actual political party, picking and choosing on each politician or issue's own merits.
2. Someone who subscribes to the specific Independent Party.
3. Someone who is a Democrat, but thinks it makes them seem free-thinking and individual to style themselves as being unbound by party rules.

A political term used to describe those people who know not what they believe or are too chickenshit to take a position or pick a side. Also used by these bottom feeders to create an air of self-importance since their vote is "up for grabs" or because they are too thoughtful to make a choice. Typically seen eating cake or pie with one hand while stuffing more into their pants with the other.
That spineless bastard is an independent and the closer we get to the election, the more independent he becomes.

Imagine a land with a great human rights record south of the 49th parallel. A land where full human rights are extended to all people without the federal government screwing things over. And the people of Massachusetts would be able to travel abroad, and instead of being laughed at for being "American", treated as the peoples they truly are!
