Self-identified moderates are mostly posers who think saying they're moderate makes them sound smart and thoughtful when really, they're just republicans who aren't Christian conservatives.
Which btw, is more or less what you're saying when you say that so-called moderates default to a GOP anti-tax position. Those people are not moderates.
