And remember that despite cheerful ad and publicity campaigns suggesting that corporations share your interests, in fact, more often than not they are diametrically opposed. Do you like the direction this country has taken under the Bush/Cheney cabal? If so, you'll love McPain.

Can you imagine this lack of good judgement applied to a VP pick, cabinet members, federal and Supreme Court judges? McCain managed to crash a few planes while a Navy pilot, largely through "hot-dogging" and plain carelessness. Though shot down in North Vietnam, we don't know for a fact that it wasn't the result of carelessness and poor judgement on his part as well.

I doubt if he can even begin to keep track of who they all represent or where their money is coming from. God forbid this guy gets elected...if he does we are in for a real rough ride with Mr Magoo at the wheel. Grandpa McWars has well over 100 lobbyists working for his campaign.

Ethics are principles by which all campaign platforms should adher to. It is a set of moral values that we judge potential candidates. To imply that is it "not retroactive" means that you never intended to run a campaign with any moral standards. Americans deserve better than that after the 7 1/2 years of being subjected to complete moral decay. Since when is an ethics policy “not retroactive”.
