		<description>Go look at Ensign&#039;s voting record.

Regardless of whether he was faithful to his wife or not, the guy is a shill for corporate interests.

He not only votes against funding for education but votes against closing corporate loopholes and using the additional revenue to support education.

		<description>libertylover said:  &quot;I don&#039;t think that Ensign&#039;s affair had any impact on his being able to do his job.&quot;

The key phrase you use is &quot;I don&#039;t think.&quot;  That&#039;s pretty clear.

Just for a start, a senator who is having an adulterous affair that he wants kept quiet is open to blackmail by lobbyists.

From 2007 to August 2008 Ensign&#039;s focus was not on his job as senator but on managing his affair and finding new employment for his paramour and her husband.

The hypocritical Ensign quotes I have seen here and there are prior to the time of the affair in question.  Here is a link to a youtube clip from April 13, 2007, in which Ensign held himself up as a paragon of virtue, someone who was quite the opposite of those nasty Democrats.</description>

		<description>Anyone offering a different opinion on here, no matter how respectfully offered, is cussed out and called everything but righteous.  So much for progressive thought and tolerance.  

This largely a hate site, plain and simple.  The aspersions made about Christians or people of faith shows the utter closed-mindedness and intolerance of so many people who consider themselves &quot;liberal&quot; and &quot;progressive&quot;.  You are anything but.

I find particularly revolting the false insinuations that Christians or conservatives want to force their values on others.  It is largely Christians and people of faith that formulated our Constitution and Bill of Rights that guarantee the rights of all our citizens, both believers and non-believers alike.  Do Christians want to promote principles that they stand for?  Of course.  So do all of you.  This is America.  We can agree to disagree.  But, the aspersions made by many of you about a huge plurality of loyal Americans is despicable and false.

Christians (who come in many different stripes) do not have to be perfect themselves to promote Christian or otherwise sound principles.  We should all aspire to higher standards than we ourselves have been able to always attain.  &lt;strong&gt;We should not make, or only support, laws that would not indict the worst behavior of our best citizens.&lt;/strong&gt;  No, our laws, and not only our laws, but our public discourse should encourage civil, positive, safe, respectful behavior, even though many of us...no, make that ALL of us...fall short.

So all of you that love to point out Ensign&#039;s hypocrisies on here, stop being hypocritical yourself and start treating him...well...like he were a liberal Democrat.  Then you would be less hypocritical yourselves, and I will respect you and your opinions more.  (Not that I believe many of you care one iota!).</description>

		<description>Many of you Theo-publicans believe that if the House, Senate, and President Obama could just shred the Constitution and supplant it with the Holy Bible, the US would become an instant Utopia.

There would be no more: abortion, death penalty, drug usage/gangs, racism, homosexuality, foul language, financial corruption, rape/incest, poverty, disease, famine, natural disasters, war, nor ADULTERY.

Unfortunately, Puratinism doesn&#039;t necessarily reward people who live a &quot;Christian&quot; lifestyle.  It benefits people who APPEAR to live a Christian lifestlye.

In this arrangement, when wealthy and connected people &quot;screw up&quot; they can buy-off, intimidate, dig up privileged medical, financial, and legal info. or use many other means to keep the situation silent.</description>

		<description>I don&#039;t think that Ensign&#039;s affair had any impact on his being able to do his job. However, that said, the hypocrisy is staggering. But unsurprising. 

Since the Republicans have staked out the &quot;moral high ground&quot; ... How many of them have fallen into the pit? How much further a fall is it when you hoist yourself up onto that pedestal?</description>

		<description>pete Says:
Two problems, stupid troll.
1. Edwards doesn&#039;t hold any office.
2. Edwards never tried to legislate morality, to the best of my knowledge, or pimp &quot;family values&quot; to con the rubes into thinking he&#039;s some kind of saint.

To bad the stupid troll is pete. 
 
 Elizabeth Edwards &quot;It&#039;s not the infidelity. It&#039;s his reckless decision to go forward with a presidential race after confessing a fling to his cancer-stricken wife, knowing it was much more than that. Even worse was his willingness to feature his wife in a campaign based on family values, even as he lied about the affair on the campaign trail.&quot;
 So i guess that Edwards did do the same thing that Ensign did. Next time try to inform yourself before you open your black hole.
 Liberals love to try and bash conservatives about this and that and yet when their own guys do the same thing or worse they have no problems with it. And you people are talking about hypocrisy. Please the hipocrites are the ones in this blog. From what i have read most of the people in this blog do nothing but read what the media puts out and doesn&#039;t even bother trying to do any research. That is apperant from the responces that you get from some of the people in here. You can tell just how much a person knows with the comments that they make. And I have found that when you talk to some people and say things they don&#039;t like or can&#039;t dispute than they call you names. 
 It doesn&#039;t matter weather he is a democrat or a republican he lied just like clinton, edwards, mccain, and the rest of them. Is anyone going to ask him to resign? NO Is anyone in here going to ask a democrat to resign if they do something just as bad? NO I didn&#039;t hear anyone telling Edwards that he needed to quit the campaign because of his cheating and he was doing the same thing. Talking about family values.</description>

		<description>The wheel of irony keeps on rolling. It appears the biggest threat to marriage these days are those family values preaching republikins like Henry Hyde, Rudy Ghouliani, Newt Gingrich and Diaper David Vitter.</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;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 &quot;disgrace&quot; 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. Ensign has also been an ardent opponent of gay marriage. In Feb. 2004, Ensign announced his support for an amendment to the Constitution that would have defined marriage as a union between a man and a woman. Ensign said the amendment, which ultimately failed, was necessary to protect &quot;the institution of marriage&quot;...In 1998, while running for Nevada’s Senate seat against Harry Reid, Ensign called on President Clinton to resign in light of his admitted affair with former White House intern Monica Lewinsky.&lt;/em&gt;

		<description>The FIX(GOP)-TV Newtork could create a new &quot;reality&quot; show.  Its name would be &quot;Bowling for Concubines.&quot;  Some of its contestants might include: John Ensign, Larry Craig, Newt Gingrich, David Vitter, Rudy Giuliani, Jimmy Swaggart, Harry Hyde, Dan Burton, Kirk Fordice, etc.

The show would last one year.  At the end of the season they could have playoffs.  The ultimate winner of that tournament would win the services of a prostitute for a whole year.

In addition, he would get a gold-plated cross. It doesn&#039;t matter who the champ is because all of the contestants are pristine Christians.

And to present that award, no one other than......Carrie Prejean.</description>

		<description>Just more typical Conservative B.S. Is this really shocking to any of you? All the Conservatives do is throw stones from their shiny glass houses... Just an entire lot of adulterers, closet homosexuals, and hypocrites &quot;fightining&quot; adultery, homosexuality, and hypocrisy. I hope he breaks his neck from the fall off of his moral high horse.</description>
