I could really care less about his marraige, however when he calls on Dems to step down because of "low moral" he should have been looking in the mirror. Though he never did complain when GOPer's had an affair (with a menber of the other gender) Plus he is the head of a group that goes around preaching what makes a good marrriage and using himself as a role model. So for all thise statements he deserves everything thing he gets bad pres wise and perhaps he should do what he demanded others do, step down. Though we all know the spin will keep him in office http://thinkprogress.org/2009/06/16/ensign-affair/

I believe the term is hoist by his own petard. Personally I've been enjoying quite a good laugh about this but I don't live in Nevada.

Maybe he decided that if Clinton could have his cake, and eat it too, he may as well partake too... Just sayin

BUT...I'm trying to remember...have you heard Clinton preaching on how to have a good moral marriage? Butch

I don't know, and haven't ever heard of Ensign. But a hypocrite is a hypocrite, regardless of the party. However, the article quoted is also pretty hypocritical and designed to only show one side of the story. Notice this paragraph: Since his election to the Senate in 2000, Ensign has been a leading conservative voice who demanded the resignation of former Idaho Sen. Larry Craig in September 2007. Ensign called Craig a “disgrace” after he was arrested in June 2007 in an airport men’s restroom on disorderly conduct charges. But when Sen. David Vitter (R-LA) acknowledged having an affair, Ensign didn’t call on him to resign. Notice the attempt to paint him as a hypocrite who condemns Democrats, and remains silent on Republicans (that is the message you got, when you read the story, wasn't it?). Larry Craig is a Republican as well, but the writer of the article "artfully" leaves that information out, in order to (apparently) bolster their desired agenda. Like I said ... hypocrisy is hypocrisy. Firm

Then there's this quote: WASHINGTON – Republican Sen. John Ensign of Nevada has stepped down from his leadership post one day after admitting he carried on a marital affair with a woman who was on his campaign staff. Ensign conveyed his decision in a phone call with Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell, who said he had accepted the resignation.

So, we apparently actually have a politician who practices what he preaches. It's amazing how facts change things, isn't it? [:D] And how a partisan source can twist events to fit their agenda. Firm

Bill Clinton gets oral sex in the oval office from Monica while on the phone with Yasser Arafat he serves his full terms. Clinton commits perjury in Federal court as a sitting US President, no consequences. Democrats know how to play the game. Democrats know politics is not principled. Its organized crime.

Arpig -> RE: When it comes back to bite you Ensigns admits to affair (6/17/2009 5:50:52 PM)
Oh come on, he lied under oath ("I did not have sexual relations with that woman"....errrr...sure Bill, you was just talking about peace in the middle east and you got so excited you jizzed on her dress). That's close enough to the definition of perjury to satisfy me.

rulemylife -> RE: When it comes back to bite you Ensigns admits to affair (6/17/2009 6:26:11 PM)
And I didn't even know we had a gang. No one tells me anything. [:(] Do we get to wear colors and have all those really cool hand gesture things too?

He might genuinely practice what he preaches when we see his resignation from office. Any bets on how likely that is?

Knowing Democrats and leftists they never accept anything against their gang. Just for those reading. What do those links prove? You bring a link to an 11-year old book review to the argument and claim that proves Clinton committed perjury? Arguments this pathetic don't even warrant a response. Please try again if you think you're actually up to it.

Knowing Democrats and leftists they never accept anything against their gang. Just for those reading. Perjury requires that the action not be frivolous, the suit in question was found to be so. That's why no perjury charge was ever brought.

Most people capable of that can determine pretty easily that Clinton was never even charged with perjury, much less convicted. Paypal me 20 bucks and I'll show you how to use Google, and you can figure this shit out by yourself next time.

quote: ORIGINAL: FirmhandKY So, we apparently actually have a politician who practices what he preaches. And here I always thought practicing what you preach means not doing in the first place the things for which you criticize other people. When did that definition become obsolete? quote: ORIGINAL: FirmhandKY It's amazing how facts change things, isn't it? And how a partisan source can twist events to fit their agenda. True. Ironically so.
