What a hypocritical, lying idiot. He along with the rest of the the GOP are certainly not living up to their values that they hold everyone else to. He said that anyone guilty of the similar behaviour that he has exhibited, should step aside. HA!

Typical politician. He is a low life scumb bag who screwed the wife of a man working for him, doubled her salary, gave him a big raise (this came out of the pockets of the american tax payer) gets caught, has his parents give the $96,000 and says he will run again and that the citizens of his state want him to run again and that leaders of both parties back him.
This is just one small example of why the American People must eventually rise up and revolt against the Government and throw out every single politician and rewrite a Constitution where the American People are in charge – not politicians.

Is he going to run on his old platform of family values?

Maybe you can get your mom and pop to vote for you but don't count on anyone elses.

good, I am glad you are upholding the GOP values

I think paying off a mistress, her mortgage or the like, using a christian group to do it, all are values I look for in a leader

the Dems should run well against you

Nice. Thanks for handing democrats another senate seat.

It's so nice to see conservative hypocrisy in action.

Well at least he wont' be running on Family Values any more.

"and said Senate leaders "on both sides" have offered their support."
------------------

All members of the C-Street, Washington D.C., "Family" cult, no doubt. The power of fundamentalism in America isn't going away too soon, is it? Keep supporting these losers, GOP. It's your money.

Who cares, this just supports what I keep saying: Vote ALL career politicians out of office! Public office is a patriotic duty and an honor not a lifetime career to get fat off of tax dollars!

Another moron republican that is hipocrat, unfaithfull and ignorant about the American people.

Does he think he can be re-elected? UNBELIEABLE!!!!

Well Gov Ensign has the right to run for reerection. Whether the citizens of NV will vote for him is another story.

He is being told to "keep his head up"? Was that not what caused this problem in the first place.

John, I think they are talking about your other head.

Maybe he's planning on having his parents pay off the voters like they did the family of his "friend"?

Gee, Johnny Boy, maybe mommy and daddy can buy your Senate seat, too.

The hypocrisy is incomprehensible, and Ensign is reprehensible.

Stay strong Senator Ensign! America needs people like you in the Republican party.

Are you kidding me!!! really what your trying to say is you and gov Sanford want to move forward with no reprocutions to bribary and infidelity and hope the States that you represent and the American people forget about it so you can sweep it under your political rug of lies and betrayal. Good Luck with that!!!! NEVADA I HOPE YOUR SMARTER THEN TO FALL FOR THAT CRAP!!!!!!!!!

Isn't it amusing that Republican evangelical politicians have a hard time living up to the family values they espouse? They condemn everyone else for moral failures and demand censure but when they themselves are caught with their pants down they demand forgiveness. This sounds like a double standard to me. A good solution is for voters to require these demagogues to live up to their own standards and when they fail, boot the rascals out. Seems fair, doesn't it?

Why Not? He paid them off. Thats what America is all about, the rich acting corruptly & immoral & pay their way out of it when caught. So why change now? Lets keep following the party of the rich don't the path of greed, no morals & destruction of an once proud, honest country.

this guy lives in a house of right wingers who b elieve they have been chosen by God to lead the world – in other words he is a cult member. Under their teaching – he has done nothing wrong. The RNC is very quiet about this as are the republican senators. Something is very wrong. Hopefully the voters will send him a very strong message to get out of town!

Your going down. But that's what your were telling your staffer. How's is feel to have the shoe on the other foot?

Good. Do we have a good democrat to replace him?

If he does make it out of this mess unscathed, he sure can't run for re-election based on family values.

This guy is nuts. I'm sure there will be a ethics investigation about the so called "gifts." $12,000 isn't a gift, it's a bribe.
