Interesting how every month or so, another new Republican is shown to be cheating on their wife or involved in some illegal dealings. Why do so many American support the morally reprehensible Republicans?

Personally, I would rather not know. I wish they would keep this stuff to themselves like they seem to do most everything else. I'm pretty sure I could live without it. I accidently clicked into something called "Anderson's Boyfriend Page" once, and was pretty shocked at what I found there. I thought, who really needs to know this stuff? I guess some people really need some good gossip! Well I'm not one of them. I think people should keep stuff like that to themselves and not splash it accross the internet or tv screen. I'm not saying Anderson did that himself, I'm saying whoever did do it should leave people's personal stuff alone. Let these people work out thier personal lives on thier own without the whole world joining in.

Although I really hate the hypocrites who say one thing and do another, I also believe that most politicians are over punished for doing what a huge number of "average" Americans do. Having an affair does not mean that one becomes incompetent to do the job they were elected for. Only someone who has not made a mistake in their life which affected someone else has the right to bash someone else.

As to the earlier comment, why do you democrats keep forgetting that plenty of your own have done the same thing, this is not just a republican issue. I do not belong to either party and it drives me crazy the way everyone only blames the other party for what is going on in both.

What a huge hypocrite! Normally I wouldn't care who he's sleeping with but his self righteousness towards other wayward politicians sickens me. He will never get my vote for President!

I think that having an affair for 8 months is more than "limited"; it's deliberate and consciously pursued. You would think that after slamming other politicians for their indiscretions, he would be wary of the temptation to go down that road himself. Besides the huge hypocrisy, where are his born-again conservative morals? These people who wear their religion on their sleeves are suspect in my opinion. And they don't really follow Bible teachings. They just like to judge and pretend that they are better human beings. Sad.

Oh my–another republican hypocrite–such a surprise

There's more than infidelity here! He used political donations and taxpayer funds to pay his mistress, her son, and her husband for their silence. He used his influence to get the son and husband jobs to maintain that silence. His fellow senator Tom Coborn knew he was doing this and didn't stop him either. Laws were broken and charges need to be filed.

Their is no conservative in Washington, thats the problem.

Do people think Republican stands for Conservatism?

Ron Paul, a libertarian is more conservative than the fools who say they are.

You might as well call them Repubicrats and Demicans. Same thing.

Once again, the American people are subjected to the lowest form of life and leadership.

Infidelity isn't really the issue, it's infidelity with a staff member whose the spouse of another employee.

As if that's not enough, Ensign suggested leaders should hold themselves to a higher standard.

I'm belly laughing; hilarious; you can't make this stuff up.

How many affairs are going on right now that we don't know about? I would say alot. Humans will be human.
