i dislike the idea that your political leanings make you untrustworthy (generally). i hold a number of positions that would be considered to be conservative. i don't feel that my political beliefs make me untrustworthy. being a member of the US Republican party shift things a bit, because the organization has shown that it prefers power over honesty so voluntary membership reveals a few things about you. but that's the party. the US Republican party i don't believe can be trusted, but having conservative leanings doesn't make one untrustworthy.
