What I don't get about all of the politico-extremists of all flavors is this: Why bother?

What are they doing to help ANYTHING other than their own personal checkbooks? There's far more of us in the middle of both sides than there are of the zealots, yet the zealots get all the airtime because conflict sells. Wouldn't they be practicing what they purport to preach by using their "power" to actually reach some form of compromise?

Gah. Sometimes I'm too much an idealist for my own good. I need a drink.
