John Ensign is a dirt bag

So I was wondering why Kaiser didn’t write about John Ensign, considering it would be right up his alley, but I’m happy to do it.

John Ensign is exactly why no one trusts the Republican Party. You can’t be the party supposedly grounded in traditional Christian morality and have a constant flow of immoral “leaders”. Another of these, Rudy Giuliani, was once a serious Presidential candidate.

Alleged “leaders” like these are what have allowed social liberals, such as the queen of annoyance Meghan McCain, a voice in what the future of the Republican Party should be.

It is no wonder there are more independents than ever before since we now have the Fascist/Socialist Party and the Dazed and Confused Party.

I believe most Americans want a party that’s not for stupid people.

    People make mistakes and people have affairs. We have no idea what was going on within the Ensign marriage or the woman’s marriage. Weakness does not make one bad or evil. The Christian sentiment is that we all sin and err nn judgement. As far as I know, Ensign did not break any laws. He certainly is not the right man to be the Republican presidential candidate after this, but there is no reason he can’t continue to contribute to the Republican cause.

      I agree with Lawson, to some extent.

      People make mistakes. It is how (and if) they react to and atone for their mistakes that determines whether I would consider them a “dirt bag”.

      That being said, we have far too many “mistakes” on both sides of the aisle. But, you guys are right – Republicans are the ones who live in “glass houses” – its somehow bigger (and more hypocritical) when they mess up.

      Scott and David,
      It is possible that you’re underestimating your colleagues on PD.

      I suspect that the majority of us wouldn’t shed a tear if the entire Republican party were to suddenly be replaced by real, dedicated conservatives – regardless of their party.

      I’d LOVE for there to be such a thing as a conservative Democrat, or a viable third party conservative. Sadly, that animal doesn’t seem to exist.

        Amen to that Gary. There seems to be fewer and fewer Repubs that I can totally get behind these days.

      I agree that people make mistakes. To be quite honest i do not feel that a marital affair should require someone to be removed from office for either party. I think most of the people in congress and the president should all be removed for violating their oath to UPHOLD THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES. His vows of marriage are to his wife (and if she fulfilled that ‘to death do us part’ clause i would vote to acquit) but all of congress on both sides of the aisle took an oath to we the people to uphold the constitution.

        JE,
        People do make mistakes, it’s true. However, Scott is right. Ensign is just another reason we can’t trust the Republican OR Democratic party. If you can’t be honest in a marriage, chances are pretty high you’re going to blow it in office too. People like Ensign are weak and we don’t need weaklings making decisions that affect Americans. Nobody really cares what was going on in Ensign’s marriage, or why he had an affair. Real men suck it up, get divorced, and move on before they get caught with their pants down.
        There is no excuse for having an affair, it looks “scummy” for someone in office. It makes everyone wonder what is going on under the desk on “company time”. Of course we can all look to Clinton for that answer. I must say as respectfully as possible, that I think you are naive if you think people can devote themselves to the constitution between the sheets with anyone other than their spouse.

          KB, you are misreading my words. I have no use for any of them. they should all be removed from office for violation of the constitution every time they sign another law spending money that is not directed at the specifics outlined in the constitution. As far as the affair, he should be stoned by a jury of his wife’s choosing. I am far from naive in that regards. The question i come back to is who do you vote for in a presidential election (you can go into the archives and see my debate with brian over the uselessness of all current parties including republicans). Obama had a much better personal/marriage record than any of his competitors…he still stinks and should be removed for violation of the constitution.

          • Kristen Berry

            Well, that was quite clear and concise, thank you for clarifying. So, you debated with Brian? I think flames shoot from his eyes when he’s fired up. He is a challenge when he’s on a role.

    I would like to point out that I have an equal ammount of dislike for both parties and have never given either of them much love here Scott. :)

    • Kristen Berry

      East of Eden,
      No doubt! I couldn’t agree more.

  • JE

    Glad you spoke up, scott. I disagree with kaiser alot, but not in defense of the republican (pitiful excuse for a) party. Not all conservatives are republican…in fact, very few true conservatives (you know, the kind who want SMALLER government) i know claim the party any more. There is nothing conservative about a socially liberal party who claims they are conservative because they want a strong military (in other words, what the democrats used to be).
    The current republican party is mainly just a bunch of people who started off conservative years ago and now will sell their votes/soul to keep a little power. “yeah we stink but we are better than the democrats” just isn’t going to cut it anymore as a campaign slogan.
    Trust me…i live in the people’s socialist republic of illinois. We have already played this game and i have already seen what happens. It is now going national and the end game isn’t pretty.

    I was a big Ensign supporter at one time. But he just shut up after his election. I guess that it was the non-aggression treaty he signed with Reid. No matter what was going on in Washington I never heard Ensign speak up.

    I also don’t recall any bills with his name on it. I think it’s about time we remove both of the Senators from Nevada.

  • David Kaiser

    Amen Brother Scott. Amen.

    And I purposefully did not write about Ensign to see if anyone else on here would.

    A little PD social experiment of my own. ;)

      Apparently you I are are the only ones who care to point out the bad on both sides.

      Furthermore, the FDA is going after Cheerios? Seriously? The regulation in this country is out of control.

      People aren’t stupid. They have a pretty good idea what food is healthy and what food isn’t.

      Then again, there are still so many that associate themselves with the Fascist/Socialist Party or the Dazed and Confused Party.
