Bye bye, John Ensign:
Nevada Senator John Ensign announced on Thursday his resignation from the Senate, the AP reported.
The two-term Republican who opposes gay rights, including giving gay and lesbian couples the right to marry, acknowledged in June, 2009 that he had a nine-month affair in 2008 with Cynthia “Cindy” Hampton, a former member of his Senate campaign staff. He also admitted having helped her husband, Doug Hampton, a member of his Congressional staff, get lobbying work.
The 53-year-old Ensign, who was considered a rising star of the GOP and possible presidential material, is under investigation by the Senate Ethics Committee.

In 2004, Ensign urged Congress to pass a constitutional amendment banning gay marriage, saying “Marriage is the cornerstone on which our society was founded.”
Quite a loose cornerstone for Mr. Ensign!
Don´t forget, Mr. Ensign, the doubletalking senatorial sidewinder from Nevada is also a ¨heavy¨ member of the ¨C¨ Street D.C. ¨Family¨…this crop of not so moral ¨righteous¨ fellars have promoted Anglican Archbishop Henry Orombi and MP David Bahati in their demonizing and murder instigating anti-lgbti campaign, on the ground, Uganda.
Sin begets sin. Where the sin of homophobia corrupts a heart, there will always be other sins. But God, in His glory, makes sure that these sins come to light at a time and place of His choosing in order to show us that these people are not His. Radical anti-gay activists publicly ranting and pointing their fingers at others do not speak for God, they speak for themselves and all the efforts to hide it will eventually be a waste of time. God is good!
Well, another family values freakoid bites the dust. I love it when the self-righteous fall and fall hard.
I agree Gianni…it seems when they fall they fall really hard and it seems they seem to fall on their own values….but then they will always justify it by “I am only human”, my fav “the devil made me do it” or “all the pressure from the far right made me do it”….when will this hypocritical s**t stop???? at least they give us something to talk about and laugh about….
