and liberals are just as whacked!
they preach "tolerance" across the board, but they, themselves are intolerent to anyone who opposes their views...
sorry kids, wide right is where i stand.

Also, you guys make it seem like all Moderates have the same views. They don't. They can still **** people off and spark debate. And these people, I feel, are the people that can be referred to as either a "Conservative Moderate " or a "Liberal Moderate."
Although, I will agree that some Moderates don't know what they think on most issues. Or at least can't make up their mind.

I think the word you're looking for is "centerist" not moderate.

Liberal ----- Liberal Moderate ----- "Centrist" ----- Conservative Moderate ----- Conservative

Eww, I guess I'm one of those damn moderates.

Try this quiz. I'm sure it's totally biased though.
