First of all I don't see any convictions and there is a reason the investigation stalled, lack of evidence. So of ethically wrong doing innocent until proven guilty by a court of law, or is that not the way anymore?

As far as the affair I find it dispicable, but people make mistakes. I know Senator Ensign and have worked on all his campaigns. People make mistakes. Hell look at Billy Boy and all the women he had behind Hillary's back(some were even paid off remember that?) Hell he had a top private investigator that his campaign manager reffered to as Bill's Bimbo Control.

Does that not cut both ways in the case of Senator Reid, then? Right off hand, I'd say that if you want to compare their respective dirty laundries, even conservatives like Malkin think Ensign's is pretty darn bad and it would be better if he were to, as she put it, Just Go Away.




Well, you apparently didn't know him as well as you thought, huh?

And the old pattern is repeated, that when conservative Republicans act EXACTLY like liberal Democrats, they :::ahem::: "Made mistakes", whereas the latter have ______ <insert descirptions of grevious world shattering crime here). Sure, there's no doubt that touting one's image as a Promise Keeper for political advantage while screwing around is a pretty hefty mistake. But then offering up hush money to keep it quiet? Priceless. Far, far worse than anything you've accused Reid of in this "Thread He Doesn't Want You to Read."

BTW, I never defended "Billy Boy's" actions. His lapse of judgement might very well have been the proverbial straw that broke the camel's back and tipped the scales, making possible the disasterous Bush presidency.

Ensign has had only ONE act of indescretion in his career where Reid just keeps going and going.

BTW you mean to say Bill Clinton's NUMEROUS affairs with NUMEROUS women? I didn't criticize Slick Willy's affiars until he got stupid and lied and ourged himself and got himself disbarred.

If you screw up admit it and move on, Ensign did it. He hasn't lied about it at all and when asked admitted to it.

"If you’re going to be a family-values candidate and a family-values politician, and you don’t live up to that, I think you should resign."

Well, opinions vary and here's another one, this time from Sean Hannity:



-Kerry O.

I don't see where he was talking about Senator Ensign.

Count FOX's Sean Hannity among those who are N-O-T forgiving John Ensign.

Asked about Ensign's viability as a senator, the conservative host declared: "f you’re going to be a family-values candidate and a family-values politician, and you don’t live up to that, I think you should resign."

When his sidekick, Dem consultant Bob Beckel, chimed in, “let the record show that that you called for John Ensign to resign,” Hannity tried to hedge a bit, cryptically adding: “I don’t know where he stands on the issues."

Ask, and it shall be opened to you. :)




There. Happy now? :)
