we all were treated to another round off phoney outrage by the wingers when dave letterman told a dirty joke on latenight which most wingers didn't even see in the first place. oh the indignity of the assault on the family values of those saintly and chaste palins who's family values no winger is his right mind would want his own family to emulate, yet they outrage and outrage.
but there was no outrage when "christian" senator john ensign, a prominent member of "promise keepers( a group that promises marital fidelity because they are holier than thou) was !profanity!ing his best friends wife , not once or twice, but for 9 months.
and giving her and the her unsuspecting hubby raises with goldy and art's tax dollars. both his victims were on his payroll.

Ensign's office says he had carried out a consensual affair from December 2007 through August 2008 with a "campaign staffer who worked at Ensign for Senate and Battle Born PAC from December 2006 to May 2008. The campaign employee was married to an official Senate staffer who worked for Senator Ensign. As of May 2008 neither employee worked for Senator Ensign.

so once again we can see the values held by the wingers who jump up and down dripping with phoney indignation over a misunderstood joke but have said nothing about a 9 month adulterous affair by a conservative christian senator.
call me mean for pointing out the obvious, but your values re reflected in what you are outraged over. and not one of you are outraged over a prolonged adulterous affair.
and we all know why.
pretty mean of me to point it out, ain't? LOL

You have to look at the whole man. Senator Ensign has been a highly vocal opponent of gay marriage, and a staunch proponent of the Defense of Marriage Act. He called upon President Clinton to resign for letting Monica Lewinsky smoke his cigar, and he was highly critical of Larry Craig for having a wide stance.

The National Review points out that "Sen. Ensign remains one of the more principled spokesmen now on the Washington stage for a government limited in size and intrusiveness into our lives."

He's also firmly pro-life, unlike some politicians who would murder defenseless flies in front of a television audience that undoubtedly would include children who would be scarred for life.

We need more principled men on the national stage. Yesterday, for instance, Bill O'Reilly went considerably out of his way to warn us of the evils of the internet, by telling us that children can see pornography on YouTube, and although it pained him to do so, he illustrated the story by showing a montage of the very pornography he was warning us about on television while delivering this warning.

Without such selfless men guarding public morality, we might be plagued with people actually forming marriages with people that they love, and spending the rest of their lives with them, even though they might be the same sex. A nation that permits such degradation cannot long stand. We need upright men such as Senator Ensign and Bill O'Reilly to protect and defend us!

When Bill Clinton's adultery went public, GOP Sen. Ensign -insisted- the president should resign.

When former GOP Sen. Larry Craig was caught in a sex scandal, GOP Sen. Ensign led the charge to -oust- Craig.[/size] [size="2"]Now GOP Sen. Ensign admits to a sex scandal...

but..

he WON'T step down.

maybe ensign doesn't read the n-r...

lol...

Catchy title to this thread, thought it would be interesting to see what some are outraged by, and by extension, what values that might reflect.
Here it's just more D vs. R.
Harl Delos's post made it worth reading though. Nice delivery.
