Please answer these questions without any regard for his previous opponents or his party affiliation or how bad that big bad meanie from Park Ridge and Arkansas is... Just yes or no, please... (Ha! no)

It depends on your definition of moral. I say no, and I think he displays a cynical disregard for morality- certainly in the Judaeo-Christian sense. He would likely subscribe to the notion that what is right is what he wants.

No, he is by his very nature duplicitous.

I like turtles... You're in a desert, walking along in the sand when all of a sudden you look down and see a tortoise, it's crawling toward you. You reach down and flip the tortoise over on its back. The tortoise lays on its back, its belly baking in the hot sun, beating its legs trying to turn itself over. But it can't. Not with out your help. But you're not helping. Why are you not helping???
