Sen. John Ensign (R-Nev.) has acknowledged an extramarital affair with a campaign staffer in a statement released by his office. "I deeply regret and am very sorry for my actions," said Ensign. He is expected to announce the affair at a press conference at 6:30 pm tonight. The affair, which was with a woman who worked for both Ensign's re-election campaign and his Battle Born leadership political action committee, began in December 2007 and ended in August 2008. Ensign's wife, Darlene, said that the couple's "marriage has become stronger" and added: "I love my husband."

Or we could be the party of fiscal conservatism and individual liberty. You know, freedom from government and all that good stuff.
Sen. John Ensign (R-Nev.)...affair, which was with a woman

“Or we could be the party of fiscal conservatism and individual liberty. You know, freedom from government and all that good stuff.”
Now that’s what I’m talking about. Yeah!
We know liberals can't be trusted, but I am beginning to think maybe not many conservatives can be trusted either. If, as you say, economies are based on trust, I guess that may explain a lot. Given that, perhaps we would all be better off not making promises that we cannot, or do not intend, to keep.
Sorry if I'm getting a little cynical.
