Of course it is. Highly trustworthy individuals can spend a couple years in DC and suddenly, you would trust them as far as you could throw them. Most lose whatever core values they had that made them trustworthy, and very quickly.
Very few recent politicians can I point to that were an exception to this --
Bob Gates, Reagan, Bush 41, Bush 43, Dick Cheney, Mike Huckabee come to mind. Romney would have been. These are people whose core principles were able to withstand Washington (Huckabee not yet, but he has that level of character).
I do not know of a trustworthy Democrat alive today, although Moynihan, I believe, was one before his death. Top Democrats today are almost all associated with Clintons or Obama in some way, which by default destroys their trustworthyness since they are ALL liars and scoundrels.
I remain open minded to the possibility a trustworthy liberal exists somewhere today. I just haven't heard of one. |
