The number of American voters unhappy with both the Democratic and Republican parties has reached a 75-year record high, according to a new poll conducted by the Pew Research Center.

Conducted over a quarter of a century, the mammoth survey shows that voters who identify themselves as Independents outpace support for the traditional parties at 38%, compared to the 32% of respondents who support the Democrats and 24% who roll with the Republicans.

“Looking at data from Gallup going back to 1939, it is safe to say that there are more political independents in 2012 than at any point in the last 75 years,” the report reads.

I'm one of them. Was a "republican" and now I'm not.

I'm a Ron Paul Republican, I've been Republican since I first voted at 18. But I think of myself as independent, at this point, specifically BECAUSE I am unhappy with both parties.

Our government initiated the Liberty movement the moment it began to shred its own Constitution.
