Where Are The Independents?

The Democrats get plenty of media coverage, the Republicans get plenty of media coverage, but where are the Independent candidates? Frankly there is little "choice" from either party, especially when you consider the front runners that most think are going to win candidacy for President.
What eliminates Giuliani and Hillary Clinton from my consideration is that neither one has had military experience, both show poor judgment, and side steps direct questions.
Giuliani, now professes he is against amnesty to illegal aliens, once made New York a sanctuary city: Hillary tries to gloss over the subject by professing that amnesty is a complex issue requiring obscure answers. How complex is it to enforce existing laws? Both show poor judgment. Giuliani's private life has been a mess, especially when you consider he is a Catholic. Hillary showed poor judgment in voting for the Iraq war. Anyone at the time should have realized that G.W. was up to no good when he engaged in such a great Propaganda campaign prior to our invading Iraq. Simply put there was no concrete evidence that Saddam had weapons of mass destruction poised to attack anyone, or that he had any hid away. It was a belief! Not a fact; certainly not enough evidence to support an invasion.
But back to the lack of Independent candidates--where are they? What sort of a candidate is an Independent?
What I am looking for is someone who is prepared to represent the average American. Someone who has integrity, a good moral sense, with balance. Someone who can lead, who is prepared to consider both sides of an issue, taking the best from both sides and creating something that both sides can live with. Someone with a knowledge of history and philosophy. I'm looking for someone who is not afraid to answer a question directly and honestly. Someone who is not afraid to admit to a mistake and is willing to remedy it. Someone who has the confidence to talk to others directly.
So where is this person?
