Decency is not only gone out of American politics. The desire to show decency has withered as well.

and the really telling thing, is that if you ask a dittohead s/he will expectorate to the effect of, "i've got more decency in my fingernail than you and your parasitic traitor ancestors and decendants ever will have!" - but just the same, the average dittohead wouldn't know what decency was if it jumped up and kissed them.
yes, this moral atavism represents a cancer on the american body politic, and it is terminal, inoperatable, it has metastisized too broadly for any cure. leonard pitts, in his most recent column, said that if the repubs nominated sara palin as president, it would be a signal to the rest of the world that the teabaggers, birthers, truthers and the like have driven this country over a cliff, and that the rest of us must quit hoping this country will come to its senses and should plan accordingly. i would be first in line to leave, btw, but canada [and all of europe] has basically blocked the door [greatly restricted immigration] to americans fleeing the emerging corporatism of america, the land of the fee.
