Not surprisingly, your post has nothing to do with the point of the post:
"But in the spirit of attempting to tap into people's critical-thinking skills, as opposed to the usual propaganda - how do you guys think this will effect the public image of the Republicans in the eyes of Independents? What's the strategy behind making the announcement now with barely 3 weeks left in the year as opposed to right after, or even before the elections? "

and everything to do with:
"All the usual suspects here will immediately turn this into a thread about the Democ... I'm sorry... Liberals. "

Also, this is a load of crap:

You can't bitch and complain about everything any politician with a -D after their name says, while habitually calling out everyone who's opinion isn't directly in line with Conservative ideologies and then call yourself an independent. If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck...
