Can somebody explain to me what are moderates and independents?

7. You are so very wrong on both moderates and independents. I'm an independent.

"Moderate" refers to stance on issues. It's not an excuse to keep people from getting freebies. That's a silly thing to say.

Clinton is a moderate or a centrist. So is Obama. Most Presidents of the US have been moderates. Most people in the country are left of center or right of center. Not that many are at the edges, left or right.

I am liberal on most issues, but moderate on some, and conservative on some criminal issues. My moderate stance is...I see the issue in shades of gray. Not black and white. I see the solution not as either/or. Example: student testing for teacher evaluations. I don't see the solution as YES do it or NO don't do it. This is what governing is based on, BTW.

And I DO know who my senators and federal reps are.

Contrary to public opinion, most independents have decided who to vote for. I think the people that are undecided, other people just call them independents because they don't know what else to call them.
