Moderation; what's wrong with it?

I consider my self to be a moderate. I have conservative economic view, I view many civil rights issues liberally, and a lot of things I have a very middle of the road political view. I've noticed that when ever I post something as a Moderate on the site no one can get over themselves enough to agree. So why are moderates disliked by both Democrats and Republicans except when voting will be close?
