Politics after World War II was a rather gentlemanly craft. It devolved into name-calling and dirty tricks right around 1968 with the Chicago Democratic Convention, and we thought it reached its nadir during Watergate, but boy were we wrong. The problem exists on both sides of the aisle, as the extremes attempt to consume the center.
I hate to admit it but Richard Nixon was right--there really is a silent majority and it's what wins elections.
