There are nutjobs on both sides. Just as you can point to an Al Sharpton, you can point to a Sarah Palin. Both sides have their idiots. And I think that most people to the extreme of any side are not thinking clearly. I prefer to think that those leaning more towards the middle are more willing to listen to all sides and make a good decision based on fact. What scares me are those that vote according to silly fear-mongering.
