The MSM definition of a "moderate" is Stalin.

I'm a moderate. I'm against hanging liberals with hemp ropes - it's cruel.

Sisal. That's the trick.

I thought a moderate was someone who accepts anything printed in the New York Times at face value.

There are two kinds of moderates. Those who beieve the lies of the left on domestic issues and those who believe the lies of the left on international issues.

Can someone please explain to me what a moderate is, in political terms? Most Americans are able to agree on the general attributes of liberals and conservatives, but what constitutes a moderate?

Depends who is defining it. The MSM defines someone who has 90% core liberal values and 10% conservative values, a 'moderate', with the exception no one who is pro-life is ever a moderate. If Ted Kennedy for some odd reason became pro-life, he would be a 'conservative' by the MSM definition.

A moderate is someone who is to embarrassed to call themselves a liberal.

Mom catches her little boy playing with himself in the bathroom.
Mom says "You keep doing that you'll go blind !"
Boy thinks a minute and says "Can I do it until I need glasses?"

Little boy is a moderate.

Someone with little (or no) deep convictions who tests the political winds before making ANY public statement on a sensitive issue!

A moderate is someone who is able to see BOTH sides of an issue and cannot commit to EITHER side.

That's because they would topple off their perch on their fence and rip themselves a 'new one' from that picket up their butts.

Moderate, Independent, Liberal. They are all the same to me.If you say Moderate you are trying to act as if you are some kind of great thinker. Someone who really thinks everything through. Yeah right, fact is you are someone with no who lines up on the liberal side probubly 95% of the time but wants to seem objective.

Someone who wants the right to stay out of his bedroom, and the left to stay out of his wallet.

There's only two things in the middle of the road. Roadkill and a yellow stripe.

A "moderate" is someone who can't take his own side in a quarrel.
