None of them are "moderate" but that's all relative.
If you think historically in addition to currently, where would Hitler or Stalin be? How far in would they scale the rest of the graph. Bush may be extreme, and has enacted an ignominious government, but he's not as bad as either of them. I'm no Bush patriot (do those sort of people even exist anymore?) but not only is it relative, it's also arbitrary.
