What is a Democratic Moderate?

Ok, I have some questions here about what constitutes moderate democratic policy these days.

Does a democratic moderate think it is kind of OK to take school lunches from poor children?
Does a democratic moderate agree that it is kind of OK to torture innocent foreign nationals in secret prisons?
Does a democratic moderate condone at least some tax cuts for 0.1% of the richest people in this country at a time of war?
Does a democratic moderate think lying about WMD and Iraq-911 connections are at least somewhat justified?
Does a democratic moderate think taking money from lobbyists for legislative favors is democratic?
Does a democratic moderate think paid propaganda is sometimes justified in our country?
Does a democratic moderate not care so much about ruining careers of veteran CIA under cover assets?

My point here is at this point there is no such thing as a moderate democrat with respect to republicans.

You are with us or you are against us, that is the republican credo. There will be no compromise, no deals, no moderation period.
