An affair? I thought marriage between a man & woman is sacred? Isn't that what most GOP scream? Whoopsy!
-
I have to say that I am no more interested in this man's infidelity than I was Clinton's which was not at all.
However the fact that he is a f#$%ing hypocritical douch bag does interest me.
From the Washington Post article on the same matter:
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/06/16/AR2009061602746....
***Ensign is considered a leading voice among social conservatives in the GOP. In 1998, as a House member running against Reid, he called on President Bill Clinton to resign after revelations about his affair with a White House intern, saying the president had "no credibility left."
In September 2007, Ensign called then- Sen. Larry E. Craig (R-Idaho) a "disgrace" after Craig was arrested in an airport men's restroom and pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct in a sex sting. Ensign played the leading role in an unsuccessful effort to force Craig into resigning from the Senate immediately. ***
Based upon those realities I think he should resign immediately.

US senator admits having affair....
no surprise here... -
Really, is it that friggin hard to keep it in your pants???
no, it isn't.
-
The only thing sacred for republicans is hairspray.
-
meh...just like Clinton...can't keep it in his pants.
-
The news worthy aspect isn't the sex (affair). It is the hypocrisy he has demonstrated.
I wonder how many conservatives will follow his lead and disclaim the news worthy aspect of this incident (meaning, how often have they been quick to point out hypocrisy of the left, only to fail to acknowledge it now on the right)?

Was it a staff memeber at his Vegas office? I guess there goes the...."what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas" saying.
Glad they still pretty much observed that rule when I lived there from 98 to 04-

There is nothing left for him to do, but follow Newt Gingrich's example, and resign.
-
....So?
I 'expect' this from Senators. So this isn't really news at all.
Or wait he's a Republican and he had sex with a woman? Okay that IS news, if he had sex with a gay underage prostitute THAT wouldn't be news.

this seems to be a new political career strategy. and it seems to work: keeps you in the news, then you get to publicly change your ways, get public support for trying and then you're fighting crime again.

For eldamon....Surely you jest!!!! If you do not know that answer i damn sure don't have the time nor inclination to tell/explain to you who they are & how easy
it really is if you care to KNOW THE REAL TRUTH!!!
Look at every POTUS in this nations history...NONE have
ever been as unqaulified as this joke/hack, NO LEADERSHIP EXPERIANCE, (Unless you count social agitators as experiance for POTUS....NOT ONE THING!!!
I will waste no more time on Obama..He was bought& paid for, The 'fix was in...NEVER in our history have
we faced the danger of collapsing as a Democracy,
Possibly Gen.Washington holding our army & nation
togetheir at Valley Forge were we as a naton in this kind
of turmoil! America is at stake here due to this clowns
outrageous policys...Hell, just print more money!!!
The faster he destabilizes & scares Americans into
beleiving HE IS THE WAY, Well, That was the plan all
along. Some of his bullshit is straight out of one of his mentors books..Alinsky's 'Rules for Radicals' NObamas
bible.And his daily "teacher" in HI. the Black radical communist Frank Morris who braggs in his "book" about
how funny it was that he 'Got a little 13 year old white thang' pregnant (his words)...This anotheir man Nobama credits as a mentor..On & on, Open your eyes man, Can you not see the truth for your hatred of conservatives
or Repulicans? Grow up....You will not, So don't bother to respond with some specious liberal bullshit!! Thank You!!!-

Hey Shotgnner,
I jest not - and don't call me Shirley (sorry, just watched Airplane the other day). You used a lot of words, some of which you clearly do not grasp, to say a whole lot of nothing as per usual for extremists. In all honesty I posed the question to see if you had the nads to actually voice your hatred out in the open for all to see. No code words, innuendo, or feigned indignation - just flat out say what you have to say if you truly believe it and can back it up. Seriously make your case straight up for a change.As for me, I have no random hatred of conservatism. Some of it actually make perfect sense. The problem I have, other than spineless bigotry, is those that would dictate morality to others and flat out ignore it for themselves. That madness is a thing of the past and simply will no longer be tolerated. It is a new day and for those that cannot grasp that concept it will be a very, very long day.
All rhetoric and senseless posturing aside, there must be some common ground to start a respectful and virtuous dialog. What can be done to find that common ground? Baring an epiphany try simply answering the question put to you. Who are these bosses of which you speak and why is it ok to preach one thing and do another?

To eldeman
Sure i can sit & dictate a fine little piece that is loaded
with words that we seldom use in daily convresation,
I could use spell check, etc, etc, I do not have the time
nor inclination to do this, I do not give a shit to put it plainly what most of the liberal, Think-Straight Sinners
hink about my comments, grammar, spelling, etc........
The only senseless posturing & pure rhetoric come
mainly from those who cannot see what NObama is
doing to this nation!!! I would hope that this would interest
you enough to thouroughly research NObamas ENTIRE life.....starting at 18 years old. He refuses to
release ANY of his college records, WHY? Is it because
they are so bad (grade wise) as some have suggested
or will they show his 'true colors' & that is not Red, White, & Blue! Check out his relationships with Z.B.
(Jimmy Carters fool) at U of Columbia, There is a virtual who's who of
the Radical, Socialist left, Black Liberation Theology,
(A fan of James Cone also), Soros & the BIG money
would come later. The guy's entire life has been a fuck-up! You of course, Like your "Messiah" pull the
race card, I don't care if the fraud is Half White & Half black, I care that he is destroying the nation. This numb
nuts is in so far over his head it is a Clear & Present Danger to the entire NATION!!!
Iran, N.Korea, A.Q., Venenzuela, even the Somali's
are all spitting in his face..WHY..Thy know that NObama is not even in their league when it comes to
playing International 'Chicken' Hell, He cannot speak
over 10 minutes without a damn teleprompter, Nobamas numbers are dropping every month! People
are seeing this entire facade stripped away!!! The
Honeymoon is coming to an end FAST!!! If he did not have the MSM in his pocket & they would televise/write
on just how truly fucked up he has this nation it would
be over immediately!!! Check out his VERY strange
U of Columbia stint...On & on...I am hitting the rack,
NObama gives me a headache & it is late, OUT!!!
SEMPER FIDELIS...God, Country, Corps !!!!
I know that is corny to many out there, But that motto
has brought me very much!!!! GOD BLESS U.S.A.
Anotheir 'corny' saying to the Lib's out there!!!!!
It has worked well for us also!!!!!!!!!-

Well, because he's a "republican" (don't know if a RINO or not), the MSM is going to run him to the ground and Dems will be calling for his resignation because they NEED the Senate seat for their fillibuster proof Senate.
Pretty tasty then, eh?
To the Democratic Senators, this is like God (the real one, not Obama) handing them a fillibuster proof senate on a platter.
Letterman should be equally giddy with new fodder for his show so he can compete with Conan. How's that competition going btw, Dave?
Did this senator pull an Edwards - (deny it, lie to the public, then get busted by the Enquirer forcing him to admit it) or did he come out and admit it on his own?
Either way, more distraction so Obama can keep up the work of destroying our nation, breaking laws, bankrupting everything and everyone on the planet, taking over companies and being the CEO of the USA and the private sector. If you think he is not doing these things, think again.
But, this, like the Letterman thing will make front headlines rather than the CBO saying National Health care is a BIG mistake and we cannot sustain it.
Here we are in a deep recession, states all going bankrupt because of lost revenues from taxes and all Obama the idiot can think is to EXPAND spending for social programs that we cannot afford.
He's telling us all to sacrifice while we send our paychecks to Washington for him to spend as he pleases, with or without Congressional approval.
Russia needs something to talk about in their papers.
