"Ethics: Insincere Contributions are Tolerable"

The New York Times ethicist answers this question: "Friends and I have been contributing money to a leading Democratic presidential candidate. We are, however, Republicans.

We considered donating to the president's re-election campaign but concluded that it had enough money and that this would put our dollars to better use. This could go awfully wrong, but is it unethical?"
