Everyone is a moderate, in their own eyes.
“Great Moderates In American History.” I’ll wait for the movie.
Don’t worry Joe, I think (and hope) you are only one more election away from not having to worry about it anymore.
If "moderate" means "sane and responsible" that may be true. Few people admit to being wild-eyed and reckless.
But I can't help noticing that people define the two sides pretty clearly and sharply, until other people come along and take positions further out and define the differences between the two sides even more starkly and pointedly.
Then the first bunch of people find themselves to be "moderates," even though that wasn't their intention or original idea of themselves.
