ACORN made him do it!

What people should really know about is the C Street House where Ensign, Coburn and a handful of other GOP congressmen reside. This isn't just any old "men's boarding house", it's owned and run by "The Family", a quasi-secret right-wing Christian "group", complete with its own pastor. And who else is in that group? Well, try Rick Santorum and Mark Sanford for starters.
And since the Covenant of this group is to be highly protective of each other, this is hardly the group to be respectful of much of our democracy.

Hah. Well, it would be interesting to know what Fox News intended to do with this information. Of course, since it's been more than a week, I'm sure Fox has covered its tracks if there's any tracks to cover over.

Expect Hannity and O'Reilly to work overtime to somehow poo-poo this and turn it into an attack on liberals.

Let's be clear. Ensign had an affair with the wife of a close friend. Something neither Edwards nor Clinton nor Spitzer did. Ensign did it during the period he was head of the RSCC, trying to get Dems defeated and Repubs elected, relying on the "family values" crap....We've got massive hypocrisy here. Of course, since David Vitter didn't see fit to resign, Ensign won't either.

My advice to Ensign. Pull a Gingrich/Delay: Announce you've now FOUND JESUS, appear at all the megachurches in Nevada and blame it on the godless liberal media.

The base will embrace you....

americangirl1: When I get ready to push the button, there'll be one thought in my mind: Sarah "Heartbeat Away" Palin. That alone will suffice for me to vote for Obama.

Interesting. This is one of the "tax break scams" that David Caye Johnston explains and denounces in his great book, "Free Lunch". But since golf and white males go hand in hand, I'm not optimistic. And, of course, the stupid Republicans will claim it's a 'tax hike".

If you say so. Except I haven't heard one single concrete idea from John McCain about any kind of change. So, it is more of the same....

You are correct, Tamanyhall. I posted earlier about this faulty "reasoning" so prevalent among those who claim Blacks are "racist" because they're voting overwhelmingly for Obama. It won't keep the right-wingers from repeating this baloney meme, but at least those that have read what you (and I) have posted know that they're deliberately engaging in intellectual fraud.

DesertKayaker - I'm not sure what you mean by "being used" by the McCain camp. I read today that she's very upset at how she was "handled" and wants to have more leeway to say what she wants to say. But if you think she didn't want to get the VP nomination, or was some passive participant in it, that's far from true, believe me. But I'm still for Obama....

And this is the kind of crap that feeds into all the hatred we're seeing. Thanks to those mean-spirited people that call themselves the "family values" crowd....James Dobson at the head of the line. And these so-called "Christians" are still coming up with new red meat to toss at their "followers".....http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/10/24/christian-right-intensifi_n_137752.html
