rethinking american politics
From my standpoint, at least the way I think, I find it reaffirming when different ways of looking at things back each other up. There is only one reality; one truth, but there are many ways of interpreting it. When your interpretations are inconsistent, it isn't because there are multiple realities. So I enjoy the exercise of taking apart different observations to see if they validate -- or invalidate -- conclusions I've reached in the past.
I caught pollster Scott Rasmussen on Rush Limbaugh's show, Friday, with guest host Mark Davis.
Now, I've always thought of America as a partisan spectrum of Democrats, independents and Republicans, and I'm sure many of you see it that way, too. This implies a political struggle over the independent vote.
I don't self-identify as Republican; like many people, I consider myself a conservative. And while you can substitute liberals/moderates/conservatives to describe the same political struggle, I thought Rasmussen said something quite profound -- something that changes the very nature of the struggle.
