Those who want power should not be trusted with it

Short answer: no way.
Long answer: No, but that's always been true. An effective Democracy always relies on aggressively competing interests and a willing and active voting population. Feel free to blame History text books. They smooth over all of the rough and downright dirty details of most things.
Politics can be interesting and fun. Have a cause and work to affect the political process. I know that's not cool, but that's how a Democracy is supposed to work!

The two-party system is corrupt, corporate-owned, and enshrines meaningless partisan bickering. Ethical, intelligent candidates are typically shut out because the two-party system discourages both creative approaches to the problems our nation faces and independent thinking ability.

To suggest by your question that bush has even the integrity of John Wayne's farts is a fallacy. But to answer your question, no. We live in a fascist plutocracy, not a representative democracy.

I don't think they could succeed even as frontrunner, let alone President. Our government is way too corrupt and I don't see it getting better anytime soon.

Yes. George Bush is an honest man and has ideals. He is succeeding as President.

No! In politics there has always been lying, stealing & cheating.
except for Abraham Lincoln who was murdered for being honest & having good ideas.
