What is your definition of 'decent'? Approval of same sex marriage and socialistic healthcare which includes abortion? Under his governorship, he made his state the first state to approve it all.
I'll say you never knew the man - just 'the appearance of'. See how evil works? Satan appears as a creature of light to draw us to himself and his lies and can only do it to those who don't care/know any better.
OMG
Do me a favor and preach your holier than thou routine to someone else.
By all means, run Jesus as your candidate. Find your man with zero imperfections, but who also has the ego-centric narcissistic tendencies to make him want to run a 3-year campaign to get elected. Make sure he will never, ever fight back against the slimebag accusations from the other side because he is so perfect that he could never descend to that level. And if he did, that would exclude him from candidacy in your eyes, the eyes that are not supposed to judge, lest they be judged themselves. And when you finally get your man, or woman, perched precariously on that razor’s edge of perfection, watch as he is destroyed, allowing a true demon to become elected in his stead. What then? Do you rejoice because slightly soiled perfection (that only you have the eyes to detect) got in the way and the US swirls down a toilet bowl to hell? Congratulations, you got your wish. Be proud.
