I think it's DISGUSTING. However I find I am a member of a rapidly decreasing group.
The NOT US have no problem being corrupt or cheating or lying or stealing or sabotaging to achieve their goals. None at all. In fact they take great delight and pride in the variety and intricacies of their evil deeds. They even BRAG about it..
It's not that I am a goody twoshoes. It's just how I was raised. To be truthful. Not cheat. Not steal. Not do anything I would be ashamed if my parents knew about it.
Here's what I conclude. Those folks who have no problem lying cheating stealing sabotaging and preening about it must have been raised by parents who taught them that. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
Fast forward to grownup and politics. Such talent and ability is the basis for the devoted who will do anything and everything to get their guy elected. All I ever do is vote for "my guy/my gal". Simpleton. That's me.
