If we want integrity - we have to demand integrity as citizens.
More and more we demand wins, at the expense of integrity.Which might explain things. If a citizenry is itself corrupt and/or corruptible, how concerned will they be for the honesty of their representatives?
I think if you poll people - a lot of people would be comfortable with someone who can "get shit done" in undemocratic ways.
I'm not even saying that's an unreasonable way of thinking... but it does feel un-American to me.

I thank you for the implied compliment.
There was a time when Americans did put more value on day-to-day moral choices than they do today -- or so we are being portrayed, perhaps unfairly. Or maybe we just had good press.Or better press. It's hard to imagine worse.

un-American is a very strange adjective.
Nobody says anybody is 'un-British' or 'un-Irish'. I think it's the only nationality where the term is used.
