Honesty, integrity trump policies for people when it comes to presidential candidates

N C Times ^ | 11 MARCH 2007 | RON FOURNIER and TREVOR TOMPSON

[HuntsvilleTxVeteran]

Ken Mehlman aka Kenny (purse strings) Muleman never met a conservative he liked or supported but threw gobs of RNC money at all open border globalists!

[Uriah_lost]

This is why Fred Thompson is going to be our next President!

[The Spirit Of Allegiance]

Proverbs 6:16-23 gives us some priceless absolutes for knowing who NOT to vote for:

These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:

A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,

An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,

A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.

My son, keep thy father's commandment, and forsake not the law of thy mother:

Bind them continually upon thine heart, and tie them about thy neck.

When thou goest, it shall lead thee; when thou sleepest, it shall keep thee; and when thou awakest, it shall talk with thee.

For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life....

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

People say it, but they do not vote accordingly. Wish they did.

[Dianna]

People say it, but they do not vote accordingly. Wish they did.

Agreed. They're saying what they think a "good" person would say. When, "I'll vote for any dirty SOB who will give me free stuff," turns up in polls, let me know.

[Phlap]

If the headline is true it is only for president. William Jefferson of Louisiana proves that.

[the anti-liberal]

If this is so, I must be the odd man out:

His decline in the category of trust is widely attributed to the fallout from the Iraq war and Hurricane Katrina in 2005

Because the one thing that has bothered me about Bush's administration is the lack of homeland security.

[potlatch]

People care less about issues than they do about a candidate's character.

Interesting, that certainly leaves Hillary out in the cold.

Now she is trying to 'be' JFK citing, "He was smart, he was dynamic, he was inspiring and he was Catholic."

None of which she is, lol. Plus we can dredge up all Kennedy's flaws.

[Quix]

If that holds true in Nov 2008,

Then we are rescued from HARXIST

Gritch Shrillery Antoinette de Fosterizer de Marx de Machiavelli de Stalin . . . de Sade.


Please, God, make it so.

[devolve]

Hillary is:

A Christian - Protestant Methodist But had a Jewish grandfather?
Now "sorta Catholic"

Named for the man who climbed Mount Everest [Over 5 years after she was born]

Tried to join the Marines [But hates the military]

Was "tough on illegal aliens.borders" [But now calls for hispanics to fight the laws and stay in the USA]

Pro-marriage [But now wants to "partner" with homosexuals]

Bouught in the whitest town in America [But is a Selma-Sista-Black]

Voted to go into Iraq [But not really "go and fight"]

O'Hussein and Hillary's Village People care less about a baby's TISSUES than they do about their own selfish "THIS IS MY BODY" gratification. But instead of beating them up morally, Conservatives need to show single moms and dads how the Liberal agenda has kept them as disenfranchised vote-slaves--ultrasound needs to be made mandatory before any abortion, with a 24 or more hour 'cooling off' period--and adoption needs to be fast-tracked, not made deliberately costly and tedious.

[potlatch]

Yep, the candidate of "honesty, integrity and other values" - NOT!!

[Quix]

AMEN! AMEN! AMEN!

[DeweyCA]

This is a bizarro world that we live in. Bush is called a liar by the lying media even though he did NOT lie about the Iraq War or about Katrina, and Hillary is thought of as being ethical. It just shows how stupid the women are who were cited as being the majority who see things this way. Jeez, and tothink that they will elect the next President!! They were also the ones who elected and re-elected BJ Clinton. Fools!!

[potlatch]

Lyman, as a 'born' and raised Catholic I agree with you on morality and values. I do not think we will ever find a "perfect" candidate who supports all of our values.

No one supported President Bush more than I did but I have been sadly disillusioned at many of his choices.

I'm thinking that morality and values HAS to come from the home. People who abhor abortions aren't going to go get one just because a President is pro choice.

[The Spirit Of Allegiance]

I can relate to your sadness. The good new is that disillusioned is dis-illusioned. No more illusions and false hopes. A strong dose of reality is a soberingly good thing as a wake-up call.

Indeed, you cannot legislate morality and righteousness into a child or adult or society. That's a red herring, actually. The real truth is that the Left is constantly seeking to legislate IMmorality and UNrighteousness into children and adults. So we do have to draw the line in the very bloody sand.

[wagglebee]

The "can't legislate morality" line is usually code for "let's have the courts prohibit the people from ever casting a vote on the issue."

I hope we can find someone on 'our side' of the line in the sand!!

Exactly. I've read a quote that went something like, "A good slogan or motto can stop analysis for 50 years."
