It's not the ethical line that they're being castigated for, it's the cynical use of it for advantage and profit. Right? If the focii of the argument were simply avaricious candidates and venal politico's, then that discussion might have merit. In an examination of value systems for groups of persons of a particular political persuasion, it doesn't. -- Posted via NewsDemon.com - Premium Uncensored Newsgroup Service -------http://www.NewsDemon.com------ Unlimited Access, Anonymous Accounts, Uncensored Broadband Access |
