"What is your stance on pro-life v. pro-choice?"
Response:
No matter what my personal views or beliefs are; laws ‘for’ or ‘against’ must be forwarded to a General Election for decision and not be decided by legislators alone.

"I strongly agree with your position on getting tough on sex offenders. However, I am troubled by your comments about moderates. I think of moderates as people who do not think. They let others decide where the right and the left parameters are, and then they just plop themselves in the middle. So if the left moves left (as it has in this country), the moderates simply move left in order to stay in the middle. Moderates do not think, but they usually feel good about themselves because they are so "fair minded". If this is what you mean by moderate, and you seriously want to appeal to this crowd, then I cannot support your candidacy. If you mean something else, perhaps you are a viable alternative."
Response:
Moderates have to think for themselves so they are not swayed but the right or left extreme. They have to be steadfast so they are not influenced and able to avoid influences and extremes in behavior or expression. Whether they agree with one side or not, they have to be fair mined so they can see both sides of the issue so that they can moderate a mutually agreed decision. Merriam-Webster’s Online dictionary defines: “moderates” transitive verb 1: to lessen the intensity or extremeness … 2: to preside over or act as chairman … intransitive verb 1: to act as a moderator 2: to become less violent, severe, or intense … noun: one who holds moderate views or who belongs to a group favoring a moderate course or program
