I consider myself a moderate Republican. I have very, very moderate social views, and I'm pretty strong on, on defense matters.

I'm considered a new Democrat, which would be considered moderate.

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.

I'm personally a moderate and a registered independent, so I'm not strongly Democratic or strongly Republican.

I'm very much engaged in the political battles, but I'm doing it as a supporter of Republicans out of conservatism rather than an active candidate.

I tend to vote Republican, but I don't like the hardcore views on either side, and I'm not in bed with anybody.

I believe I am a moderate Democrat: I am pro-business and also progressive.

I'm not that conservative. I do feel - I guess I'm more of a Democrat at heart, although I've never affiliated myself with a particular party.

I had a reputation of being somewhat moderate, partly, I think, because I wasn't a 'bomb thrower' like some of my conservative colleagues, and partly because I got along with people all across the political spectrum.
