Moderates are not the same as liberals. If I had to place a current political label on myself it would fall more toward moderate. I do not agree with many things in the "liberal agenda" but I am certainly miles further from conservative.

Bullshit. The south voted Democrat because the Republicans were the party of big business. Once Republicans "found Jesus" and started showing up at NASCAR races they became "good people".

Southerners base their votes on important things, like getting rid of a Democrat governer for a Republican one because the Democrat supports letting the people vote whether to change the contested Confederate flag as the state flag.
