He was going to be caught so of course he apologized. I just wish he would resign so we don’t have to relieve this disgrace again when he runs again in 2012. If he cared for his country he would leave today. An anti-family values person (which he is...cheating on his wife does not promote family values AND with a married women) should not be part of the conservative movement that is for sure! You can’t argue with me unless you are a liberal.
I think Gov. Gibbons will have to resign, too. He is getting divorced. If the details of his marriage come out publicly, he will have to resign.
Oh no I agree, he should leave. I just find it amusing how quickly the dems and media jump on any republican that has done something despicable and act all moral about it. Especially when they are so immoral. I don’t care for Ensign and wouldn’t mind him leaving, but I also admit that when he was caught he did apologize, don’t remember Clinton, or any Dem. doing the same thing. Instead they deny, deny, and then change the subject and the media lets them. It is very frustrating.
So only perfect people can be conservatives? When did that happen? Ensign did something wrong. Whatever his motives for going public, he didn’t deny his actions, nor did he excuse them. I see no political value in his resigning and giving the Democrats even more power in the senate. To what end? Satisfying your requirement for his personal purity at the expense of the country’s further slide into socialism? No contest, imo.
