It is funny that you support the party which promotes what you call true values in our country, especially Christian values, is now questioning the need for ethical values! I guess that ethics should be expected only of the Democrats, and Republicans need not behave in an ethical manner. They have the right to misuse funds donated for elections, even threaten people to donate in order to buy the right that should belong to all Americans, the right to have access to their elected officials. br> — Jim br> South Carolina
