It's not that nuts when you consider how high the stakes are for some people. In the U.S. one high stakes dichotomy can be summed as such: killing people by taking away affordable healthcare vs. killing people before they've had a chance at life. Killing people is such an important issue to many people that any other issues they have are minuscule in comparison, especially when it's likely that both sides have their dirt. Disclaimer: I in no one way support the U.S. political system and would definitely support a system with more transparency so that, the people with significant unremedied skeletons in their closet, have no chance of making it to consideration for office.
