Integrity in a political election??

Sine when does politics have an ounce of integrity? No one should be upset about anything that politicians do. It's par for the course. Case in point.....

McCain is no angel, either. Remember when he allegedly used public funds as backup to apply for a loan, and then tried immediately to withdraw from the public funding system? (Attempting to escape, ironically, from the very system he helped set up.) The outraged Dems filed suit shortly thereafter. The Federal Election Commission, lacking quorum, couldn't do much about it, either — which probably suited McCain just fine.

That incident aside, there are plenty of other loopholes that allow the private sector to creep in. So playing the integrity card is about as weak an argument as anyone can use regarding this issue and just about anything else regarding politics.
