Moderate Libs and Moderate Cons both usally want a small government and powerful rights for the people.
Some share a hate for the Neo-Con President Bush.
The only difference I can see is Cons favor tradition and gradual change. What do you think?

If it's true what you stated, then they definitely are NOT libs. Most people I see calling themselves moderates usually lean to the Republican side. For example, Bill O'Reilly. He considers himself to be moderate. But he in all honesty, he is a Conservative Republican. Get this, only reason why he doesn't consider himself to be a Republican because he doesn't support the death penalty.

Hmmm...moderate libs such a " the Billary"-- whose quotes sound as though they could have been lifted right out of Chairman Mao's book? Small government? How about a health care bill so large, absolutely nobody in Washington has YET read the whole fiasco? Give up our sovereign rights to a strip of land going straight through the western states, (destroy our country's trucking industry for points towards a run at leadership of the the UN ((where the deeeeep pockets and lax oversight are)) with no right on out part to examine what's being shipped across (and IN to) our country?
Moderate LIBS want nothing less than government participation in, and regulation of, everything you or I see, do or EARN .
YAHOO! Answers--("(B)hillary has a plan to use the excessive oil profits for..." Someone said, "Any government big enough to give you everything you want is big enough to take everything you have." At that point, they usually do, in the name of "fairness". What's the dif between that philosophy and communism?
As for PRESIDENT Bush, You'll have a hard time finding examples of him berating the private sector for making "too much profit", followed by some plan to claim those profits on some self-appointed authority, and higher "Moral Ground" (apparently somewhere above desk level).
Nobody and no organization is perfect, but stick with the conservatives, if you believe we should be a healthy country, with dignity and respect due from ourselves and every country on this earth. There is, and has never been, a country more generous, more willing to stick it's neck out to help. We've earned it, we deserve it. Any leader who thinks not, I choose not to follow.

That is why I switched to libertarian so that I would not be confused or associated within that mess! And as who cares says I do lean more toward Republican but I refuse to be considered a Bush supporter although I would never vote for
Kerry, Hillary or any similiar type Democrat

Moderates, almost by definition, are going to have some views in common. I don't know if small government and individual rights are often those things, though.

I consider myself a moderate and I think Bush and Clinton are both moderates, though different in party affiliation and constituency.

I think the closer you get to the middle of any conflict the more likely you are to run into similar ideas. I know libs that favor tradition, too.

There is no such thing as a moderate con...maybe a moderate Republican but not a moderate con.
