Sure they could, but I doubt that they will. Not to politicize the thread, but when you have the President of U.S. debating the meaning of the word "is" then you can see how far away from these attributes we have gone. Not all that long ago, the 80's, Gary Hart had to withdraw from the presidential race because of infidelity, and then in the 90's we (speaking for the U.S. only) condoned and defended in some cases the same behavior in a sitting president.

What is the standard by which you measure honesty and integrity? Unless there is one then honesty and integrity are what you or I define it as. Unfortunately there are people who define it as whatever it takes for me to get the job/promotion/etc... So if embellishing (a nice way to say lying) on my resume gets me hired then do it.
