What is a Moderate?

Well, what is a moderate?  Tell me, Snerdley, how would you, if somebody asked you to explain to ’em what a moderate is, what would you say? It’s a liberal without the guts to say so. A moderate is one of two things:  a liberal that won’t admit it or somebody that waits to see which way the wind’s blowing and joins the crowd.  By definition, a moderate isn’t passionate about anything.  Can’t be.  But now we gotta go after the moderates.
