The only problem with casting people--especially people you may have to live with--as a moral extreme is the fact it both forces a definition on you which denies you the ability to use the other side's successful strategies for your own and denies or at least inhibits the ability to cooperate with the other side in order to solve problems.
And, when there are only two sides, that creates endless problems with only limited solutions.
For example, the last debt ceiling issue...
Just saying.
I mean, I'm not fond of most politicians these days--on "either" side--but I understand that both sides eventually end up having to work together for the system to work. And--because I don't trust either party's motives--I'm one of those people who likes to vote for whatever party isn't in majority at the time in the hope they keep having to fight it out.

But, that's just me.
Disagreed with? Usually.
Evil? Not necessarily.
