Well a thief is a thief no matter what political coat he might put on? Who knows what lurks in the dark recesses of a mans mind?
Now I would suggest there might be clues, but definitely no sure way of telling a mans moral fiber? I mean look at the clergy in just about every religion? Some of them are evil...they get caught all the time!
How can you judge the morality of a man? Well what does he say he stands for...and what are his actions regarding what he says?
So we have a Paul Martin saying he is a good Catholic...but promotes evil wherever possible. He says he is a good Canadian...but cheats the government out of taxes? He says he believes in the public health care system...but goes to a private clinic? Says he respects the democratic process...but committs illegal acts to curtail Quebec democratic aspirations? Says he is going to end the democratic deficit...but takes the rights of Parliment away and gives it to his appointed court system?
The man is a total hypocrite on just about everything? A total snakeoil salesman of the worst degree?
Now I don't know everything about Stephen Harper and I am sure someone will bring up all his faults, but I do know there have been men of integrity in government who walked the talk. Earnest Manning comes to mind as well as William Aberhart and I suspect Preston Manning is a man of integrity? You get integrity by having a strong moral backbone. You don't get it by associating with a bunch of gangsters and lowlifes. You don't get it by craving every evil thing in the world and be willing to sell your soul to obtain them.
