Can you think of any politician who wasn’t corrupt?

I have only heard of the positive side of JFK and I don’t remember any scandals other than his brother Teddy’s Chappaquidik (if that is how you spell it) that I read about a few months ago.

Obviously we had Mussolini and then Berlusconi, and countless less than stellar players in between.

Johnson taped everything, so did tricky Dickie. Reagan was shot, I don’t know much about that story. Cigar smoking Bill, the two Bushes and weapons of mass destruction. Obama?

In France, where do we start! Germany 🇩🇪 Willy Brandt? Vaclav Havel? Solidarity in Poland. 🇵🇱 Russia? Oh what a can of worms!

The higher they get, the more skeletons they have to hide. ..and for sure they've had to tell quite a few lies. That's a given.

We make them lie to us. Nobody wants to hear the truth when the truth hurts, so if they hurt us with the truth, we won't vote for them. ..and if our guy wins, most of us won't remember the lies and most of the rest of the fans will understand.

The ones who will expect them to be true to their words are the ones who wanted the other side to win but wouldn't remember or care about any lies told by their guy.

Considering how he died while serving his fourth conservative term, then his VP finished that term and went on to serve the new limited next two terms, I'd have to say Franklin Delano Roosevelt was a good and closest to honest president we've ever had, but I'm sure he wasn't without his scandals.
