Umm, Bush you passed the ethical line awhile ago!

I wanted to comment really quickly on the article that was listed under recommended reading for this week. The article can be found at http://www.factcheck.org/article143.html and is titled, “Bush's Misleading Attack Video”. It is a great example of questionable ethical behavior with targeted campaigning. Bush not only out-and-out lied about Kerry’s donations; he actually made accusations about charges people could have argued he allowed in his own campaign while he was running for re-election. What’s the saying; “He without sin cast the first stone”… I think candidates at every level need to be very careful about blaming others for questionable practices when they themselves haven’t been the most honorable. Where is the ethical line in politics? Is it ever changing, or is there a true bare minimum? Across all boundaries (generational, regional or ethical ties) it seems people’s values represent the full spectrum.
