Because if they are terrible people they are most likely terrible at their jobs as well. I'm sick of everything related to US politics, everyone is so childish and everything is so broken.

Even more than that - politics implies tough decisions and a lot of pressure from all sides. There is literally no use for niceness in politics. Except pleasing naive voters. One of plenty of well known examples is Steve Jobs. I bet if he was a nice guy, we’d still suffer with those awful windows CE handhelds :)
