Anybody that uses their mother's deathbed statement to manufacture thoughts of "Integrity" in a man with none, speaks for itself...
Rassman, the guy that Kerry pulled out of the water in Vietnam, is Kerry's Mom!!!! See the below quote:
After serving with John Kerry, a veteran says Kerry is better suited to serve in the White House. Jim Rassman was in Eau Claire on Tuesday to campaign for Kerry. Rassman says Kerry saved his life when he pulled him out of a river during a battle in Vietnam. Rassman says he voted for Bush in 2000, but says he doesn't plan to back the President this time around. "There are three character traits John has that George Bush does not have and they are integrity, integrity, integrity. I trust John Kerry implicitly. I don't trust a thing George Bush tells me," said Rassman.
Throw Mama from the Swiftboat!
Where is this quotation from? If you can find a source, it deserves its own post, in my opinion.
Sorry. Forgot the sourcing:

Excellent find and thanks for the PING! I agree with Piranha that this deserves its own thread.
Excellent find !!
I wonder what she taught him?
I have thought about this all night, John Kerry said his mother taught him integrity! integrity! integrity! well I'm curious as to what she taught him. I was taught and taught my children that integrity is one's ability to take responsibility for their Principles and ideals (values and standards that we set for ourselves) It is an element of our character. People with high principles and ideals set standards that they live by.
Examples: honesty, Not hurting others, your word is your bond, stealing etc.
For instance if you have a principle that stealing is wrong then a person of integrity would not lower their standards to approve of stealing for another person. To do so demonstrates a person with low character and lacks integrity.
Senator Kerry's, deliberate attempt (steal her identity)to expose the Vice President's daughters vulnerability in the hope of gaining points shows a man of low character and a lacking in integrity. He obviously has no principles or ideals, especially in his willingness to hurt those he finds in a vulnerable position and can't speak for themselves as in the Presidential Debate. (He attempted to steal her identity for use against her parents) A person with low principle and ideals does not have integrity. He lacks the ability to be responsible for his principles and ideals because he doesn't have values and principles. You can't have a principle of attacking the vulnerable as there is no way to be responsible for the impact. The same is true for his attacks on the Swift boat veterans and our P.O.W.'s.
There by I can only conclude that John Kerry is a man with low or no principals/ beliefs, or ideals. the same is true on his explanation for his faith/ belief on abortion and gay marriage. The character of the man is his ability to live his principle and ideals and not lower his standards, integrity is taking responsibility for those principles. Spontaneous responsibility is a better word as it shows that integrity is you.
Tell me where I am wrong? Maybe we all need to look to ourselves and ask are we lowering our standards in this wonderful country because we lack the ability to be responsible for our principals and ideals. If I am right this truly is a sad day.
Kerry and John Edwards both seem to spend most of their time talking to dead people.
bump for later
Good insights.
LOL!
I don't think he clarified that, but Edwards could have "channeled" it I here.
