character does matter

Published Oct. 11, 2008

In selecting men for office, let principle be your guide. Regard not the particular sect or denomination of the candidate — look to his character....

I whole heartedly agree that character matters. John McCain cheated on and then left his disabled wife to be with a new a little trixy.

Character does matter. I'll vote for the candidate who has been faithful in his marriage.

"Character and integrity are everything....if you lack either or both, you definitely go to the back of my line."

Unless it is a non white person that gets sent to the back of the line and then it must be about color!

LOL, Of course I'm being facetious.

Does anyone really believe the politicians really care about us?

Show me someone who thinks politicians are honest & I'll show you a fool.

trublue--You are right. Some one blogged about Sarah Palin and I said people of higher power have been using their positions since the first president was ever elected and the continental congress before that

Not bad, since most of our presidents and politicians built this country by bilking, swindeling, lying and forced relocation...not bad at all.

That is also my philosophy but unfortunately that is not the case when people vote.

Character and integrity are everything....if you lack either or both, you definitely go to the back of my line.

You are right about character. There is an old Japanese proverb that goes something like this: "If the character of a man is in doubt, look at his friends." I find this is an excellent idea. I use it.

He has the right idea but you may want to change man to man or woman! lol
