Why has moderate become such a bad word?

Maybe some of the more reasonable people could identify if the candidates didn't seem so extreme.

    During the primaries they run to the right. During the general election, they run back toward the middle. I agree though. I consider myself to be moderate, my family is mostly conservative and they say I am a "fence sitter"

    Politicians want you to react, not to think. Moderates think! Long live the moderates!
