That might be a huge part of the problem. We don't have any super heroes running for office.
One of the things I hate about politics the most is people who suddenly slap a American flag pin on their chest and instantly become patriotic. It's disgusting. Being patriotic isn't wearing a pin when it suits you.
While I don't believe a US President should be required to have military service.... If your family goes back five generations and NO ONE served in the US military, well, don't you dare wear a fucking American flag pin on your suit.

Off the top of my head I can only name two - Obama and McCain.
Obama was a Senator and then President for eight years, and not a hint of scandal.
McCain has a long history. I loved him when he went to Vietnam, called them gooks, and stuck to his guns. He said "They locked me up for years and tortured me" and no matter what in his eyes they will always be "gooks". Still to this day he has balls.
