In American politics a moderate is a candidate or official who takes money from a corporation in exchange for allowing a lobbyist to write the laws regulating and taxing the corporate entity.
A moderate is often free to vote his conscience on issues not directly related to corporate wealth like abortion, gay rights and child abuse. He may be for or against these issues. This freedom elevates the moderate above the currant Republican politician who represents the irrational right and death.
Liberals, progressives and genuine conservatives tend to vote for moderates, as I do, because the viable alternative is fascism.
