Independents are liberals in sheep's clothing

Conservatives and true independents do not vote for any of the Democrats running as independents who are trying to bring their liberal policies to our commonsense state. 

Democrats-at-heart like Steve Johnson, who has lost two elections once as a Democrat and once is an independent; and Todd Achilles, a Boise Democrat, who stepped down from the Idaho Legislature to run against Republican U.S. Senator Jim Risch as an independent. Each of them know they have no chance running as the liberal Democrats they are, so they simply change to say they are independents. Remember, Bernie Sanders is an independent who votes with the Democrat socialists every time.

In my opinion, today’s independents are liberal, possibly socialist, Democrat wolves dressing and sheep’s clothing.

Be smart, and don’t fall for it. Vote Republican and keep our state free from socialism.
