In your hypothetical situation, I'd probably hold my nose and vote for the guy with whom I agreed on the issues, because even though I could not trust him to keep his promises, I would KNOW that the other guy would keep his.

Are you telling me that, if faced with the choice between two candidates, one of which agreed with you on every issue but had done what Kerry is accused of and the other of which is your worst nightmare, issue wise, you'd vote for the nightmare because his character was stronger? Politicans can and do, say anything. Their actions (or nonactions) are what counts. Go back and see what Kerry said about a year ago...the snarlings and growling that he did....while gathering in voters from the far left. Didn't seem to try to apease the "moderate-right" left (Liberman, Miller) Now, he would like us to believe he is center-left...... Words are cheap. Actions count. I'd rather gage a person on their actions, and my perceived observations of his/her character, honor and integrity.
