Honest John

John Edwards says that he, and all other presidential candidates, should be judged on their honesty.

Edwards told students that President Bush had “destroyed the trust relationship between Americans and the president” and asked potential caucus-goers to carefully size up the candidates running to replace him.

“Does this guy really believe what he’s saying? Is he sincere? Does he have passion about it? Does he have integrity?” Edwards said. “You should judge me and judge every presidential candidate on who is honest and sincere. You have to be able to trust the next president.”

Hmmm.

Saddam Hussein’s regime represents a grave threat to America and our allies, including our vital ally, Israel. For more than two decades, Saddam Hussein has sought weapons of mass destruction through every available means. We know that he has chemical and biological weapons. He has already used them against his neighbors and his own people, and is trying to build more. We know that he is doing everything he can to build nuclear weapons, and we know that each day he gets closer to achieving that goal. [source]

If we can do the work that we can do in this country — the work we will do when John Kerry is president — people like Christopher Reeve are going to walk. Get up out of that wheelchair and walk again.[source]

Let me be clear: Under no circumstances can Iran be allowed to have nuclear weapons. … To ensure that Iran never gets nuclear weapons, we need to keep all options on the table. Let me reiterate–all options must remain on the table. [Source]

I’m going to be honest with you — I don’t know a lot about Cuba’s healthcare system,” Edwards, D-N.C., said at an event in Oskaloosa, Iowa. “Is it a government-run system?” [source]

I think that’s enough.
