because he is one of the most principled Conservatives in elective office today

i guess we will see about that. one week ago, the same could have been said for Ensign, could it not? pardon my skepticism, but conservative politicians have demonstrated FEET OF CLAY in spades.

It’s not conservative politicians who are showing feet of clay, in this circus.

It is us.

This is so not an issue. Look I intend to work very hard to assure that a particular (other) GOP candidate defeats Sanford in 2012.

But this is so silly. And it shows just how quickly the GOP “base” has been conditioned by our media to throw our own best people over the side.

Think back to 1994. Newt Gingrich was thrown over the side like this. The GOP never recovered.

The guy is an individual. Not a dull, clone-like dork.

Argentina sounds like a great vacation.

John Ensign ? Actually, no. Most of the Senators have already been sucked into the morass of corruption and statism. After they’ve been there about 6 years, they start to lose their souls (it just so happened Sanford got out of DC at precisely 6 years and went home). Ensign has been in office for all except 2 years since 1994. I had to laugh when the media said he was some sort of Conservative paragon and 2012 Presidential candidate, because he certainly was neither, not until the media claimed he was AFTER news of the affair came out. It’s just all part of their propaganda smear machine.
