That decent people don't run for office

Baggage.

Decent people get drunk, get their picture taken riding a 4 wheeler neckid and get arrested as a kid.

We can't have that crap in America.

Politicians wait till they are in office to do much worse.

That.

And the compromises you have to make.
The comparison to making sausage isn't just a funny quip.

Seriously. Unless you run as a Democrat, you better not have a life behind you...or you gotta have a LOT of money.

I've considered running for office, just so someone could piece together my 20's for me.

Some fear the establishment will fabricate what isn't there just to keep the opposition out.

Right? And 30's and 40's? Think about it. There is no way that anyone who lives a fun life can run for Republican office and be successful. (Unless you're rich.)

Lol...this thread was inspired by buddies posting some compromising pics taken a long time ago.

My post was inspired by the Solarwinds cyber attack.

Unlikely. The American people are in love with pretense, in much the same way as the British are. Camelot and all that rubbish. The irony is that the masses participate in the delusion that our "leaders" are somehow above the common failings of human beings and should be held to a higher standard not because they believe it but because it has been marketed to them by the media and they refuse to say, "Hey, stop trying to sell me this bullshit!"

We have a circus/soap opera for a government because we are ruled by Hollywood, the media, and academia, every one of which is also a circus/soap opera, and every one of which remains successful because the public values theater and pretense more than truth and sincerity.

So I ain't holding my breath.

If you run for office and your past is squeaky clean, someone that doesn't like you will make up something.

It reminds me of the lip service so many people give to honesty. Then, when you're honest with them, they get pissed off.

I think it is because the people who would be best for the job aren't narcissistic enough to think they would be good at it. They also probably dislike sucking up to people for money.
