When referring to Republicans (or conservatives), all Democrats should point out at the start of every statement "Republicans are simply insane" and then go on to say what they are going to say. Every single time.
The media treats people that think helping billionaires avoid taxes is good for America, climate change isn't happening, or isn't man made, free trade rocks, and a host of other completely insane stuff like regular (not idiots) people.
Republicans think having billionaires spend hundreds of millions of money in secret on elections is good for democracy, and drill baby drill is a great policy, and on, and on, and on. When two opposing views are expressed, the talking heads give the absolutely idiotic view the same treatment as someone who is pointing out facts that are undeniable.
Insanity, and mostly the media's fault.

From article: "The media needs to stop treating Republicans like sane people, and instead accept that the lunatics are running the Republican asylum."
Remember. To call oneself a Republican these days, means you belong in an asylum, or you should be hung for treason. Period. No exceptions.

Santorum is a strange example though. He is extremely intelligent, and an idiot, all at the same time.
A very amazing man.
