How far we've deteriorated as a country

In roughly April of 2007, John McCain made the infamous Bomb Bomb Bomb Iran song reference in a manner that made clear that there were questions as to his fitness to serve as C.I.C.
I don't believe it cost him the election, W took care of that, but it raised serious questions. Look at us 18 years 2 months later and how much we've deteriorated as a country in that we actually elected a man to become C.I.C. not once, but twice who under any reasonable measure couldn't hold a candle to a man we said shouldn't be in the White House.
I guess it would only be right for the next candidate for president to borrow a song from Bruce Springsteen change a few words and belt them out for the world to hear.
"Shame on the USA, Shame on the USA!

We all thought Bush was bottom of the GOP. There is no bottom.

Every time a Democrat gets elected to the Presidency, the Republicans respond by selecting a festering, syphilitic shitbag from the morass of semi-evolved semi-humans who gravitate to their vile organization, power-wash off the worst of the feverishly vile feculence, proclaim it a ‘man of the people’, and get it elected President in the next election.
