Sen. Ensign’s Sex Affair: Gay Marriage or Elmer Gantry to Blame?

[Stingo]

Senator John Ensign has admitted to an affair, taking him out of the running for the Presidency. Boy, that would have been good seeing him campaign in Iowa, where gay marriage is legal, playing to the anti-gay bigots, as he has in the Senate. Senator Ensign’s Church is familiar with sex scandals, founded as it was by Aimee Semple McPherson.

1. Not just 'an affair'

But a long ongoing affair with a staffer who was married to another of his staffers. Double adultery, for about 8 months. Lying to the face of dozens of people who were close to him.

2. A few facts not to forget

Sen. Ensign voted as a member of the US House to impeach President Clinton for his affair.

Sen. Ensign voted for the DOMA stating: “Marriage recognizes the ideal of a father and mother living together to raise their children,” Ensign said. “Marriage is the cornerstone on which our society was founded. For those who say that the Constitution is so sacred that we cannot or should not adopt the Federal Marriage Amendment, I would simply point out that marriage, and the sanctity of that institution, predates the American Constitution and the founding of our nation. Marriage, as a social institution, predates every other institution on which ordered society in America has relied.”

Sen. Ensign called on Sen. Larry Craig to resign from the Senate after his MSP bathroom affair.
