So you are saying neither of the Bush's were decent people?
1. That was a different era.
2. Who's line was "read my lips..."
3. Who gave us a SCOTUS chief justice that made an argument for ACA that the Obama administration didn't make?
Here's one for you: Do you think Daryl Davis is a decent man? How about Mack McCarter? Do you think any of them stand a chance on any ticket?
The skillset currently needed in order to get elected isn't often found in people that you would call nice or decent. The have to stand up against their party machines, as well as their opponents. And then they have to govern.
