Not sure what you want me to see, so please help me out here.

So it's ok with you if he takes the money regardless of what people's intentions are?

Shrug, I prefer more character in a person than that. I'm not saying McCain or any politician would do anything different. I think everyone on this forum knows that politicians will do anything for money, but to say what you did and then say that he's not in the pocket of these people is naive in my opinion.

You don't get something for nothing. An idea that most people in this country seem to have forgotten.
