Why do those people keep calling themselves moderate?

Other terms which do the same thing without casting doubt on the character of the party or the individuals within it are: diverse, open, big-tent, broad-based, national in scope, etc, etc, etc.
I mean, who wants to vote for someone who keeps saying they're moderate? The very fact you have to keep saying it makes people wonder. It also doesn't describe very well the kinds of political views you're trying to get away from, especially when many in your own party still hold them.
