McCain”s moral compass

SDEingineer, agreed. Hopefully by August, I will be in the highest tax bracket I’ve ever been in. I’ll pay more in taxes. So what? It won’t be the end of the world.

Bottom line, those who make more can afford to pay more that’s why your taxes are more. Just shut up and pay it please. IMO, there is never going to be the hoped for flat tax. I don’t believe in making it easier on people who make most of the money and putting a heavy burden on those who make less money and cannot afford it.

Getting at the motivation of the discussion in the first place…yes, you’re right, he doesn’t fit the profile, if by by “the profile” you are referring to the meaningless image promoted by some Republicans that they are tough on “sin.” It’s all a ruse. Every politician, of course, must be evaluated on their actions – and, unfortunately, that means only the actions we know about.

Does someone’s morality affect their fitness for president? Sure. Might all the candidates be immoral, regardless of their party? Maybe. Don’t ever defer that question to the issue of which party they belong to, much less their image; such a thing is a facade that enterprising people hide behind.

And don’t let anyone frame the debate to exclude certain aspects of life as out of the realm of immoral. I’d say stealing, killing, breaking the law, committing fraud, and so on, show a lack of commitment to good morals and ethics, just as much as the inability to hold to a marital promise. It’s good to see some here have already pointed out immoral behavior by politicians that involves things other than marital (in)fidelity and (in)tolerance of other people’s sex lives.
