You are declaring you are a "Moderate" as defined above ? If so, yes you can join. Type "I wish to be admitted to the moderate club members list". Note: Any protests by existing members will be taken into consideration and your membership will be reviewed.

I suspect you will change your title "Konservativer Krieger" to show your moderation.

I'd like to sign up..

Though im a liberal on many issues, and not ashamed of it Gawain

, I do side with the conservatives on some issues. I am also kinda of sad with the way all of america's political parties are going and dont really "like" any of them.

If the defintion at the top is what you refer to I must once again submit that everyone at the org is a moderate. It certainly applies to me. Again the difference is we conservatives can tell right from wrong and are proud to be conservatives. We dont want to be labled as moderates. Moderates never get you anywhere. Its the radicals that lead to change.

Wow so most people claim to be in the middle. Startling. I never would have guessed. Of course most people will claim to look at all sdes of the issue. Thats my point. We all think we do that. I dont go oh a conservative said that so its correct. Though many here, yes even members of this club have said you cant believe it if a conservative is the source.

Again polls and their statistics can be used to prove what ever you like. You could say 75% of americans are right of liberals these days from reading this poll.

Gawian, i dont think most people are moderates cause they can look at both sides of the issue. I consider myself a moderate cause i stand with the conservatives on certain issues even though i am much more towards being a liberal,no same

, than to being a conservative.

OK I stand with liberals on some issues.
Does make me a moderate?

By the defintion used everyone is a moderate. No one considers themselves an extremist. I dont think anyone here is an idealog. Were all pretty intelligent.

I agree statistics can be used to justify a lot of things. However, all I am asking here is for a "Declaration" that you are a "Moderate".

As you know, I have accepted your viewpoint from time to time and understood where you were coming from in past threads.

Hmmm.

There really is no club for me.

I'm socially very liberal and I make no bones about it, but for this reason the Conservative Club pretty much bars the doors when I come knocking.

On the other hand, being a rabid capitalist and labor union hater, my views are quite conservative when it comes to how I think governments should tax/spend, so the Liberal Club is really not the place for me either.

Finally, since none of my views are really "moderate" (at least by American standards), I don't really fit in the Moderate Club either.
