WW, he is a moderate. My experience with moderates is they stick their finger in the wind, see which direction it is blowing and go in that direction. Because they lack core beliefs they are able to justify voting for a Carter and then a Reagan, for a Bush and then an Obama. For example, if you were a fiscal conservative and you looked at Obama's record you could never vote for him unless you were wishy washy in your beliefs and/or because the momentum was going in the direction of BO that's the way you vote.

I had asked architect for his core beliefs a while ago when he informed me he was a moderate. I am truly curious but he never responded. The reason a moderate can't or won't tell you their core beliefs is because either they have none or if they do and they admit to having voted contrary to their core beliefs it calls into question whether they really believe in anything or if they are just moral relativists.

Someone like Lady is a self professed liberal. She will vote for an Obama regardless of what he says or does as long as he supports her core beliefs. In that regard she is very honest. Hound is a bit of an enigma to me but I think she was so profoundly opposed to the Iraq war that she was willing to abandon her fiscal conservative principals and vote for Obama. Also, for her it was easier because she is a socially liberal (which by that I assume she supports abortion but maybe there is more to it than that). She has expressed some buyer's remorse but on the whole she is not willing to throw the baby out with the bathwater.....yet anyway.
