I think that you have it backwards. The bar isn't getting lowered. There are, somewhere, politicians who aren't willing to sell their soul to achieve their ends, it's just that if you aren't willing to sell your soul you can't get anywhere in politics.
It's not a question of standards as much as a question of what is a successful political animal and what is not.
Ethics and morals vs political and personal agendas.
No successful politician is trustworthy except when you are counting on that person to do what is in their best interests.
