Heidi,,

****OT****
We've never had a president with integrity... This one is just being investigated more than his predecessors... And you know what. I only get's worse from here.

......and this would not be an issue if we had a President with just a byte of integrity.

That wasn't on the application. But I don't buy the integrity argument. Reagen had no integrity (Iran-Contra) if following the law is your control. Bush? Director of the CIA? I don't think so? How about Kennedy -- Operation Mongoose, Bay of Pigs, Marilyn Monroe. Johnson? No way. Maybe, just maybe, Jimmy Carter. And look what that got us. Oh, and how could I forget Nixon? Enough said.

I think it could be argued that you can't make the decisions a President has to make and have integrity. You can keep your zipper closed, but there is precedent for this type of behavior, so what are we going to do? PUNT?

name one President who hasn't lied to the American people regularly, either by commision or omission. Refuse to seat any Senator or Congressperson who has lied to his/her constituents and what do you have? A congress that doesn't take bribes from corporations and others because it doesn't exist!

Integrity and politics is an oxymoron for the most part. All sides lie, cheat and steal in my opinion - bar none.
