Moderate

A moderate is someone who feels that there are usually two sides to every question, and a some truth in both the conservative and liberal viewpoint. Moderates tend to favor evolutionlary political change rather than revolutionary change, perhaps because you never know what you're getting into when you abandon a system that seems to work pretty well and try to make a new one from scratch. Rush Limbaugh and his ilk have labelled moderates as "worse than liberals," the ultimate insult. Andy Schlafly contends that a moderate is just a liberal pretending to be "reasonable." He may have a point, because in this era of conservatives who are so far right they walk and talk like communists, moderates may actually vote for a liberal.
