So, let me be clear. Your vision of honest behavior is, if all people do it, it's honest. Right? That's the standard you're holding Kerry to when you call him honest. Right? No wonder you can call Kerry honest. All you're saying is he's no more dishonest than the next guy. In my book, that's a different thing from being honest. I guess it's not in yours. And from your continual ducking of the question, I have to conclude that no, you don't consider it honest, but you're hooked on Kerry so you can't admit that he's dishonest about this. Too bad.

Just to be clear, you asked me for examples of why I though Kerry wasn't honest. I provided you one article cite which you simply dismissed. I provided you with the fact that he is continuing to take his pay from the American taxpayers while not preforming, except in very occasional instances, the duties for which he's being paid. He uses most of his time not doing Senatorial duties, but trying to get a better job. I consider that dishonest. You haven't disagreed, you've just said every body does it. Which in fact isn't true; only a very few Senators have done it. Of the 100 folks in the Senate, 98 have been at work in Washington and only 2 have shirked their duties to try to get a better job. But so what. It's okay to steal from your employer of 2% of the employees in the same job steal? Not in my book. So there's another specific example of where I consider Kerry dishonest. You asked for evidence. I gave it to you. Now, I'm still waiting for evidence of your claim that he intends to punish companies that outsource. So far you've come up with nothing.
