I can no longer break something like this down. It's like asking us to choose by virtue of "well, who is the best, in my opinion, of this terrible lot of cadidates". I disagree with the political platfrom, but s/he has integrity? I agree with the platform but s/he is a scoundrel?
The only comfortable answer is a candidate who both agrees with My vision of what needs to start happening and a high integrity factor. I listen to the stance on the issues first. If that stance seems to line up with most of what I want to see, then I look into the integrity aspect. No integrity, and I can safely bet that s/he is spouting for votes.
There is only one candidate that meets My criteria so far.
I will probably have to do a write-in vote according to My own conscience.

Yeah, I'm getting a major "flip flop" feeling from Romney. That's the kind of thing that soured me on Gore and Kerry before.

Level, I give Romney a lot of credit for getting *anything* done in Massachusetts!
You have to remember he was a Republican governor in a state that's widely acknowledged to be "Moonbat Central."
That alone was an accomplishment!
That state and Louisiana are the two most crooked states in the union. And I know what I'm talking about because I grew up there.
It was a giant bagjob by the Irish Mafia.
Look up "William Bulger."
And look at who's Governor there now!
If people ask I tell them I'm from, "New Hampshire."

Agreed. If they don’t have integrity, what does it matter what their positions on issues are?
