Well put, Amos -

"But the sense of right action inherent in the individual goes beyond moral codes and addresses the path to optimum well being. That is the sense of ethics."

So George is definitely unethical, if not insane. Perhaps, in the first instance he is unethical and because he seems to lack the ability to reflect on those actions, he is also without conscience. I'd say that the combination of the two: unethical and without conscience might possibly make him insane.

I'd think that even if the American public elects him again, I would be very worried if I were his 'handlers' - even more worried if I were a staunch Republican. Do Republicans have a conscience?
