Moderate America is a site for the rest of us. You know, the people who work hard, pay our taxes, make tough decisions, and don’t really identify with the kooks and wingnuts on either extreme of the American political spectrum.
We’re not really liberals, though we hold some views that might be considered liberal - especially by wacky conservatives.
We’re not really conservative, though we hold some views that might be considered conservative - especially by wacky liberals.
We’re the people who live in the center of the political spectrum, the ones the fringe groups talk past. We’re both Democrats and Republicans, but we’re not beyond putting the needs of our country above the desires of our political party. We probably don’t agree with 100% of the positions our chosen party stands for, but we’ve settled on our choice to some extent, because we disagree with the other political party’s positions even more.
We represent what’s left of sanity in the American political process.
We’re the majority of Americans.
And we plan to vote.

Great site! I gotta remember to look this up when I get my computer tower. I hate both Obama and Mccain, personally. McCain is hardly a ‘maverick’, too. If being a ‘maverick’ means having a few moderate or liberal positions on a few issues while being conservative on just about everything else, hell, anyone can be a “maverick.” It’s ridiculous. McCain, if you look at his stances on all the major social and economic issues, IS a conservative! People need to stop spreading this myth that he’s a moderate or a maverick. He’s just a typical Republican like Obama is a typical Democrat.
I’m voting for nader, btw. He’s a real progressive.

If being a maverick means reaching across the aisle in trying to get certain bills passed, almost anyone can be a maverick. Bipartisanship is kind of overrated, in a sense. I mean, anyone can be bipartisan depending on how strongly liberal or conservative they are on a certain issue. It doesn’t take much effort.
