Okay, I must have misinterpreted your opening statement...it's not MY fault I'm stupid ;)

A moderate is someone who avoids either of the extremes. The Center ground in politics is the Mainstream ground in politics. I think that the majority of the public are in the Center and I think that they want politicians and a government that reflects this.

Being a moderate is not in the slightest about being closer to the Republican view!

The Republican view as we know is now the Extremist view...there are some Rockefeller Republicans that our party could work with, UNDER DIFFERENT circumstances than we have today.

The Bush Inc. Republican Party, I think our politicians should just in public refer to them as "Extremists" because that's what they are.

No, you cannot be moderate about corruption, just like you cannot be moderate about tax cuts for the very wealthy. Proper moderates are AGAINST corruption and proper moderates are AGAINST tax cuts for the very wealthy.
