The word “hypocrite” has been hurled at Nevada Sen. John Ensign and South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford with such force and frequency, you’d swear it was their new party affiliation.
When he was running for president as a candidate for change, Barack Obama said: “Our energy problem has become an energy crisis because no matter how well-intentioned the promise — no matter how bold the proposal — they all fall victim to the same Washington politics that has only become more divided and dishonest; more beholden to the powerful interests that have the biggest stake in the status quo.”
Over the past several weeks there have been many questions asked regarding the existence and costs associated with the Las Vegas Springs Preserve. In this painful period of our community’s history it is not only understandable but appropriate that all expenditures be examined and evaluated.

Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, an ethics watchdog group, filed complaints Wednesday urging Senate and federal election officials to investigate unanswered questions about Nevada Sen. John Ensign’s extramarital affair.

Nevada voted for Barack Obama last year, but don’t be misled: This remains a conservative state. Democrats hold a voter registration edge, but a large majority of the party’s members would barely qualify as centrists in other states.
If you were the parent of a 13-year-old girl, would you consider it “reasonable” for officials at her school to order that she be strip-searched to find out if she were hiding ibuprofen pills?
If you repeat a hypothesis as fact over and over, people will tend to believe it.
