Comments:US senator John Ensign resigns from leadership role after admitting extra-martial affair

I really don't understand
I really don't understand why so many people take these events so seriously. Is having an affair wrong? Yes. But how does that affect one's politics? -- Poe Joe (talk) 02:36, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Having an affair isn't wrong. Running on "family values" *and then* having an affair is what is wrong. If he lied about that, what else is he lying about? That, I think, is why his party is forcing him to step out of the limelight. If he'd run as a playboy millionaire then an affair wouldn't be an issue, since he wouldn't have lied about his values. Just like with Clinton, it isn't the act itself that matters, it is the lies beforehand and afterward that matter. Gopher65talk 04:43, 18 June 2009 (UTC)

US senator John Ensign resigns from leadership role after admitting extra-martial affair (new section)
I am getting very tired of these men not remembering to keep thier trousers zipped. What ever happened to the santity of marriage and fidelity? They all seem to take advantage of their position of power and get involved in extra marital relations or nefarious activities. It is no wonder that politicans are not trusted by the general population. We all sit with bated breath to see how soon it will happen that they will abuse their position.
