Yes, we can.

Yes, and there is a difference between people reaching different policy conclusions (and therefore one person thinking the other's are bad) and jumping to the conclusion that the one who reached a different position is an idiot.

I've said it before, I support Obama and expect I will oppose many of his policy initiatives. If I can do that without being treated by the majority opposing me as an idiot or evil (or, somewhat paradoxically an evil idiot) then I'll be satisfied.
