Most people perceive moderates as timid middle-of-the-roaders who can't take a stand.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Moderate doesn't mean that you're a wimp - far from it. It means that you've chosen a path because you believe that's the only way for global harmony and peace.
Moderate people are able to be moderate and have free speech only because there are some people on the fringe.
You can't really be passionately moderate. It's like wearing an 'Extra Medium' - it doesn't exist.
I'm what you would call an 'independent moderate.'
I'm pretty middle-of-the-road. There are some issues I'm more conservative on.
I'm a moderate. I hang out in the middle. I vote against my party with some regularity and try to compromise. It doesn't appear right now that the Republican Party is welcoming moderates any more.
I'm one extreme or the other. I'm not good at doing moderation.
I'm a true centrist: my beliefs put me in the middle... You know what happens to people who drive in the middle of the road? They get run over.
As a former Republican, I represent a group of Americans who all too often have no one to speak for them. This group doesn't necessarily have a name. We've been called 'moderates,' but that term can be misleading.
For the most part our grassroots members are serious, nice, tolerant people.
