How's that possible if you're a moderate?
I guess it depends on why someone is moderate. I figured I'm moderate because I only agree with maybe 1/2 of what's considered 'conservative' and 1/2 of what's considered 'liberal' agendas, etc.
On some issues I'm conservative while on other issues I'm liberal - some issues I'm neutral . . . it depends on what it is. Usually on these things my husband and I differ - we're polar opposites.
For example - some ways I'm liberal while he's conservative:
Gays in the military. He's against any and all alteration of DADT and so forth - I'm pro-ending DADT.
Abortion: I'm pro-choice and he's definitely not.
Fiscal issues: I'm pro-medicare and welfare expansion, etc, he's not.
But in other ways he's liberal and I'm conservative:
Military war-time involvement in international conflicts: He's against things that don't initially involve us, I'm not.
Legalization/control of drugs: He feels some drugs are illegal or carded when they shouldn't be, I don't feel the same way.
Sanctity of Marriage: I believe it should be firmly adhered to, he doesn't.
In fact - it's like this for us with almost every issue that comes up. The only things we really 100% agree on are financial issues: taxes, the government's spending practices, how best to save money, not going into debt, etc etc.
