No argument from me on that issue, Frank. It would be refreshing (not to mention informative) if both "sides" were busy being constructive about what they stand for, rather than denouncing the other side. Meanwhile, what we usually hear from the mainstream right and left is silence about their own extremists, and vitriol about the others'.
As I said, they'd lose those votes . . . and, sadly, it seems to take a lot of polarization on very narrow issues to get people off their asses and into the voting booth, any more. In other words, if only extremists vote, who else will the politicians pander to?
[For the record, I'm pro nuke power, anti nuke weapons . . . I think you know my stand on space exploration ;-) But I'm not a public figure, so any denunciations I might make would fall on no ears at all.]
