Yeah, I think some people don't really get the term, as stupid as it is anyway.  A "Moderate Hero" bases their politics around pleasing everyone at the expense of their integrity.  Us moderates happen to have definite views that place us in the center of this political spectrum.  I personally don't care who I please and annoy with my views because they are what I truly believe.  People just need to get over the fact that some of us aren't hardcore ideologues that defend a party to the grave.

The reason I labeled you as a moderate hero is because you rarely seem to have well defined views on anything. Just my opinion, you definitely aren't that bad if you are one Wink

Vepres is the opposite of a moderate hero. He bases his politics on pissing everybody off.

Nah, I'm just a horrible person Tongue

I would be kind of interested in how you people define "moderate hero".

Somebody who comes to their positions largely using this logic:
Republicans support 100, Democrats support 0, so therefore 50 is the correct answer.

The Middle-ground fallacy.

Of course, for active politicians it is triangulating primarily for political gain.

I'm not much a moderate, more moderate-conservative, but I appreciate the nomination. While I'm liberal on some issues, such as education, unions, and the death penalty, I think my very conservative position on abortion keeps me from winning a moderate hero award. Tongue I will say, I support more Democrats/Independents for Governor than I do Republicans, and only support 63% of Republican Senatorial candidates. Wink

(This is from my Atlas Endorsements, in case anyone was confused)

Being a moderate hero is not a good thing.

I still haven't received an acceptable answer from anyone that believes I fit the title explaining what views I artificially change in order to be "moderate".

In a strict sense, you're not. I can't really say we have any TRUE moderate heroes here.
