I think the "independent" person is a fence-sitter who doesn't want to take sides.

Ouch! I'd prefer to think of independents as folks who just "think and believe" differently than the "established" political parties...

I guess it's not perfect, but I like the 2 party system, at least you know where a politician stands (more or less) .

Well, the "more or less" clause is what gets us in trouble IMO... I usually end up voting for the "less", believing he or she to be the "more"...

I think more parties= more chaos.

Glorious, isn't it? Personally, I think the more parties, the better. Why? Anyone who wishes to make an educated decision about the electoral/political system should be better informed considering the number of choices. Not just the same old "republican vs. democrats" schtick...
Not only that, but it injects a bit of uncertainty into the system, a "spoiler" can make or break victory for a particular candidate forcing changes (good/bad) that would otherwise not happen.
