Sen. Ensign in '98 urging Pres. Clinton to resign

I really don't give a rat's a$$ about people's personal lives, so long as they do their jobs, and I don't think marital fidelity has anything to do with job performance. In fact, I think all this kind of coverage is unnecessarily intrusive and irrelevant.

HOWEVER, this idiot is such a f'ing hypocrite! I'm sick of all these a$$holes telling us about their virtuous bull$hit, then doing exactly what they are demanding others' heads on a pike for.

Even as a conservative, I think he should resign. He was right to criticize Clinton, and since he couldn't live up to his own standards in marital fidelity, we cannot believe that he can live up to any other standards. I think it was Truman who said “If a man’s wife can’t trust him how can I?”

I agree totally. Any person who will cheat on their spouse cannot be trusted with a position of authority and power.

Step down mister, you are damaging the office you hold, the party, and your constituents. Out you go.

There are MANY, MANY great men, including Thomas Jefferson and JFK, who didn't know how to keep it in their pants or control their hormones, or whatever the heck it is, but they were tireless, brilliant, and courageous men when it came to serving their country.

One has nothing to do with the other, and it's time we came out of the dark ages on this. In fact, the only indicator I find telling, is this LYING and moral hypocrisy that Sen. Ensign is the latest example of. "Judge not lest ye be judged" buddy. He's ruined his own career with his stupid, judgmental, BULLSHIT, not his infidelity IMO. I don't CARE about his personal life! If we take any lesson from this, I wish that would be it.

Lol, I didn't say HE was brilliant. I said OTHER brilliant men had issues with fidelity. His infidelity is utterly relevant, IMO, other than that he's a damn hypocrite about it, like Sen. Vitter. Why hasn't the righteous right run him off yet?

I'm SAYING, a person's ability and expertise related to any number of things, like serving in the military, serving in the Senate, penning the Constitution, running a major corporation, etc., has ZERO to do with his sex life. I just don't f'ing care, and thinking it does seems immature and ignorant to me.

But hey, we can all vote on whatever basis we want. That's your choice. However, if keeping one's marriage vows were a criteria, honestly dictates that NO ONE who has ever been divorced should be eligible (and that was the criteria not so long ago), which would mean y'all would never have had your precious Ronald Reagan.

Again, my real problem with Ensign and Vitter, is their hypocrisy.

BTW, is this "if he can't be faithful to his wife . . ." line coming from Rush or Fox News, cause it's the popular GOP talking point today. Doesn't hold a lot of water IMO, but again - people can vote on eye color for all I care.
