If I ran for high public office, should I be held directy accountable for this?

No, there is a difference between you and someone like Bush, as we are all born without sin, it's up to us how we live our lives, you decided not to follow in the ways of your Great-Uncle, but Bush is following the ways of his Grandfather, as he worships Moloch at Bohemia Grove, but he will only be held accountable for his own actions of innocent blood on his hands.
