Well his military stance is part of WHY I like him, and although I am pro-choice, for me, a politician's stance on Roe. v. Wade is not a limit test. There are issues far more important to me and my community than abortion- in fact having never had nor wanted one I can say abortion is one issue that while a popular 'hot topic' it has little to do with my life. Now my husband's pay, my tricare benefits, taxes, torturing terrorists/POWs which sets us up for our men to in turn be tortured...those things matter to me and cause me worry/concern daily.
But I digress, I guess I always thought that moderate meant a person had a mix of right and left values, so what you are saying to me still would cause McCain to be a moderate. I take what you are saying to suggest that those are areas in which he is more conservative, but that those areas might be particularities, not that he is staunchly conservative on everything.
Is this incorrect? Is there actually a platform of moderate beliefs? If so, are you saying that McCain is not a moderate because on the military and abortion he differs from the platform?
