Defining
A Centrist
Here's how some organizations,
individuals, Web sites, and reference works have defined a centrist. Perhaps
one of them closely matches your political beliefs, or is similar to your
definition of a centrist.
Centrist. Middle of the roader, moderate, moderationist. A person
who takes a position in the political center. -- WordNet
 Centrist.
A person with moderate political opinions and policies. -- Election
Glossary, Public Broadcasting System (PBS)
In politics, centrism usually refers to the political ideal of promoting
moderate policies which land in the middle ground between different political
extremes. Most commonly, this is visualized as part of the one-dimensional
political spectrum of Left-Right politics, with centrism landing in the
middle between left-wing politics and right-wing politics. -- Wikipedia:
The Free Encyclopedia
Centrists are ideologically flexible. Centrists recognize the complexity
of public policy choices and look to many kinds of solutions. Which solution
depends on the circumstances, the problem, and the public interest. Ideologues
repeat their slogans with little regard to the specific policy problem
at hand. Conservatives shout "private good, public bad." Liberals shout
"public good, private bad." By contrast, the centrist movement
can show politicians how to use both the private and public sectors (often
in combination) to creatively solve problems that we would otherwise just
shout about. -- Centrists.Org
Centrist: A person or political party with a position in the center of
the ideological spectrum -- Debbie Twyman and Craig Whitney, The
American Citizen
Centrism. A political position that is neither left nor right but which
occupies the middle ground. -- iAmericanSpirit Political Dictionary
