Quite the opposite- I do think you are a moderate conservative. I am a moderate liberal. I think a vocal minority on both sides are extreme right or left, but most moderates live in the real world where we realize that few things are black and white, and we are able to reason out the best possible outcomes and even compromise to achieve that goal. Extremists do not compromise, and they are never wrong. They deny their humanity and are willfully ignorant. Your voting 'across the aisle' shows that you are not a rabid extremist, and are capable of free thought. You're just a little misguided sometimes.
