Do as I say, Not as I screw!

In typical Republican fashion, Senator John Ensign (R-NV) has admitted he has had an affair with a staffer, who's husband also worked for him. Now I normally would say, OK this is a personal matter, nobody's business. However, in 1998 John Ensign called President Clinton an "embarrassment", wished for his fellow Republican Larry Craig to resign following his "indiscretions", and yet praised Republican Senator David Vitter after his name and number appeared in the now deceased D.C. Madame's "black book".

OK, all of that is rather trivial, but the growing trend out of Republicans is they talk a great game about "Family Values" , yet are the biggest hypocrites on earth! Here is a quick rundown of prominent Family Values/Faith Based figures in the GOP.

• Newt Gingrich- served his wife with divorce papers at her bedside while she suffered from cancer
• David Vitter- Only admitted to visiting the D.C. Madame after his name was released in her black book.It was later rumored he enjoyed wearing diapers while with the prostitutes.
• John Bolton-Former Ambassador to the UN, and current warmonger is said to have forced both wives to participate in unsavory group sex. The State Dept. has not refuted the allegations, and Hustler publisher Larry Fylnt is said to have witnesses.
  
• Fmr. Congressman Joe Scarborough- Resigned after rumors surfaced of extramarital activity. The intern involved turned up dead in his office, and the medical examiner had his licence revoked.
  

Salem News has a longer and more complete list here. The idea that these politicians run around the country suggesting liberals, Democrats, unwed Mothers, some minorities, and others "deviants" is nonsense, and they should be called on it. The fact is, it is the Democratic Party that either doesn't get caught, or has the decency to either behave, or don't preach about it! That is the difference.

Update: Senator Ensign steps down from Republican Leadership post
