You can pick up to three people from either major political party. They just have to be honest.
Bush, for example wouldn't count, as he lies consistently.

bumpocooper - Whether he was telling the truth or not, I liked Clinton.
Big Mack - I'm not sure I follow you. I think democracy's biggest problem now is not that Bush is not believable, but that our Constitutional rights are being systematically weakened.
43 - Tell us more if you get this in the next few days, please. I'll keep it open for at least 2 more days.

Very few. Sadly, those who enter the profession with idealism and integrity generally lose it because of who they must deal with.
Where lying and corruption are rewarded with success, and integrity and honesty lead to failure, what is the incentive for them?

John F Kennedy, Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, George Bush, Abraham Lincoln.

I dont know any of them well enough to say for sure wether they do or not. I will say this though, I am certain that each and every one of you lies more than you want to take credit for. In a business where you deal with a lot of people and have to do what you can to keep the peace lying is just part of it.

Some of them are liars, scoundrels, etc. A lot of them aren't. The one's who are though like you to believe that they are ALL liars and scoundrels. That way when they get into power and screw things up you aren't likely paying attention or didn't expect better from them anyways. The truth is we need good politicians and we the public need to encourage them to continuously do the right thing. So often, by being pessimistic, we are really encouraging them to do the wrong things.

Senator Feingold
He is the only politician who doesn't vote with his party on issues he has personally looked at for political benefit that I've heard of.
Mind you he will vote with his party on issues he probably doesn't have time to take a stake on. But he has opposed the entire senate on a great many occations.

Don't pin Bush for lying, you're accusing him of things he doesn't do. Many people are ignorant of his actual actions and pin all of the nasty terms they can find on him. He is NOT supported in his actions by his population. PERIOD. That is his problem and is THE most important problem in ANY democracy because it is against the foundation of it's rules and it's integrity.

Honest politicians? If you believe them they are all honest. If you like what they say you believe they are telling the truth. I don't know if they are telling the truth so I can't answer with the names of individuals. I am sure there are some that tell the truth though.

Jimmy Carter, in my Republican opinion was and is a man of integrity. He taught us a valuable lesson. My generation actually believed if we elected for president a person of integrity, we would have a great president.
Jimmy Carter had integrity, and he was a lousy president.
I voted for two Dems in my life. I voted for George McGovern and still think I was right.
I voted for Jimmy Carter and it was a mistake.
