I would call them an intelligent person. One who does not get so tied up in political ideologies. Thus they can take a step back from the clamoring political pundits and look at the facts on both sides and come to their own conclusion, not one their particular ideology sticks to and swears by. Some things need to be looked at conservatively, others liberally...to be all on one side or the other is ignorant and does not help the country move forward. Thus I would call them an intelligent person.

Actually there are a number of different labels apart from conservative and liberal. I would actually have difficulty in defining 'liberal' - in some countries, liberal means very conservative.
You also have 'progressive' - which I think is the meaning of 'liberal' in the USA, then there is 'socialist' - then you can also add fascist, communist, and anarchist - in North America those are almos dirty words :) - none of which would fit in either the conservative or liberal camp. I prefer talking in more relative terms, like 'moving more to the left (or right)' on a certain issue.

That is like asking "what is between black and white?" You can be a moderate shade of either set of values or have a mix, but there is nothing else. For someone to be neither liberal or conservative means theyre a very un-opinionated person.
Non-partisan is WRONG. Partisan refers to democratic/republican struggle, not conservative/liberal struggle. There is such a thing as liberal republicans and conservative democrats.
Independent is WRONG. That refers to a political association that is free of the democratic and republican control; has nothing to do with conservative or liberal values.

Nope, they are frequently called independents, but then there are those that fall into the libertarian camp--which is not just a party label (in fact the party is a bunch of loonies, but the libertarian types are not necessarily so--they stand for conservative values like little government and very liberal views on being left alone, expression, etc...).

Such people are called by different names because they are unalike politically. Some are radicals. Some are political abstainers (non-participating, philosophically). Anarchists and fascists and communists do not fit well into the conservative and liberal categories. Some varieties of liberalism are consistent with "progressive" or "socialist" political ideas however.

I think if you look at each issue individually you will find that almost everyone is more conservative in some areas and more liberal in others. Simply by virtue of intelligent thought. Peace.
