3. Was it the staffer that forced this out into the open? |
|
Or did he do it voluntarily out of "guilt".

6. The right will provide forgiveness and offer counseling |
|
If it had been a Democrat they would have been calling for his resignation.

19. I should have put a sarcasm sign on my post. Not only will the affair |
|
Edited on Tue Jun-16-09 06:39 PM by rurallib
hurt him but the whole attempt to hush it up and paying blackmail. I am pretty sure we have seen the last of John Ensign here (Iowa)

17. SHE must've made him do it. The staffer wanted him to give her money to keep her quiet. |
|
If he hadn't confessed, she would've come out with her OWN press conference (my guess).

24. Washing his laundry before starting a presidential run? |

Edited on Tue Jun-16-09 06:53 PM by Mass
Voting will be in 2 years and a half, so he probably hopes that people will have forgotten it then (not a bad idea given the attention span these days). Anyway, if he only cheated once, he will look clean compared to the usual Republican like Gingritch.

26. I'll bet he and his wife pray together to heal their wounded hearts and be forgiven... |
|
See that's what Republicans "say" they do after an affair and.... whooops all is forgiven, they're only human after all. Now if Dem does it, he's just an immoral slimebag, fuckmonkey who can't keep it in his pants and they'd be be impeaching him or demanding his resignation.
