When guy's like Sanford n' Ensign are forced to admit to this stuff it's particularly hypocritical stuff, because they've really gone after guy's that have done the same. For instance, Sanford was particularly interested in going after Clinton(for the lies,) and then you hear Sanford admit to the lie he gave his aides(Appalachian Trail etc.) I don't think you're gunna find many on the left that think this guy's sex life is a reason for him to have to resign. I don't think many would say he should resign for a lie about his sex life. This is the difference(many Conservatives wanted to have the President thrown out for a lie about his sex life.) Spending Gov't money to go to Buenos Aires? If that happened, then this is a serious problem. Leaving nobody in charge of the state for 5 days? This is a problem. No matter a person's political persuasion.
