_I will never vote for a politician that committed an act of rape or pedophilia._
Is that part of my character Integrity or Obstinance?
Most likely neither, as you are presumably not voting for a politician who has committed rape or pedophilia because it is a legitimate, logical argument for not supporting them. Likewise I am rather firmly opposed to being thrown into a woodchipper, not because of some inflexible commitment to an ideology or ethical principle but because I have two braincells to rub together.
Have you ever felt a strong desire to vote for a politician who has committed sex crimes?
