Tired of yelling at your TV set? Those sneaky democrats got you down?

Well git ready for even more shenanigans (and more shouting). They're out to hang Nevada Republican John Ensign...all for a brief fling!

(Quote) "There is a preliminary investigation going on, and we will look at all aspects of this case, as we do whenever there's a case before us, and try to get to the bottom of it as quickly as we can, in FAIRNESS to all."

In fairness to all?

These are the ominous pronunciations of that loveable munchkin, Senate "Ethics" Chairwoman, Barbara Boxer (D- CA), when she was asked about Ensign, on CNN's "State of the Union" (Sunday morning political discussion).

Of course this is yet another hollow ploy (as with Alaska's Ted Stevens) for the democrats to undermine yet another rock-solid Senate Republican seat, and increase their majority to 61 - even before Ensign is up for re-election in 2012.

Ensign's crime of the century centers around his nine-month affair with Cindy Hampton, a high school friend of his wife Darlene.

Cindy and Doug Hampton had been good friends of the Ensigns, living in the same Las Vegas neighborhood, and sending their children to the same private school.

In late 2006, Ensign hired both onto his Senate staff''s payroll: Doug earning more than $10,000 a month as "administrative assistant," with Cindy working for Ensign's Senate "political" action committee.

The love affair began in December 2007; a year later, Senator Ensign and his wife QUIETLY separated.

The "aggrieved husband", Doug Hampton - in a letter to Fox News - said the episode eventually precipitated the Hamptons dismissal from the campaign. 

The Senate Ethics Committee is investigating Ensign's efforts to arrange lobbying business for Doug Hampton, after he and wife Cindy were discharged. Ensign stands accused of ignoring the 12-month "turn-around rule" on a lobbyist interacting with a former employer. Supposedly, he enabled Hampton to line up clients before the 12-month grace period had expired.

Hence, the extent of wrongdoing Boxer has to work with is nothing other than a minor crime of silly impatience.

But invariably, we can expect democrats Chuck Schumer, Richard Durban, and Diane Feinstein (three lowlife Senate worms) to call for Ensign's resignation - fomenting as much negative publicity as possible. Boxer will no doubt lobby for FBI involvement, treating the case as if it were the Great Train Robbery. 

As one would expect, Ensign's chicken-livered Republican colleagues are running for cover, acting like Simon Peter denying Jesus before he was crucified...loudly proclaiming, "I barely know the man!"

Fiery Senate minority leader, Mitch McConnell, couldn't retreat fast enough...“I really don’t have any observations to make about the Ensign matter,’’ Mr. McConnell said at a recent press conference, as he was repeatedly questioned about the conduct of Senator Ensign.

Sen. Jon Kyl (R-AZ) - a member of the Senate Republican leadership - also refused to lend his support. "We should simply wait and see what happens,” offered Kyl.

Sneaky or not, at least the Democrats are quick to close ranks, and defend their "young."

And the Republicans wonder why they keep losing the "moderate" vote? Is there really no honor among thieves?

If Boxer and her phony "Ethics" Committee successfully railroad Ensign out of his seat, that'll be no less than three Senate positions that the Republicans have ceded in less than a year, simply because - like the chicken bystanders they are - the GOP "didn't want to get involved."

In fall of 2008, Alaskan Senator Ted Stevens was falsely convicted of lying on Senate forms about home renovations he received from a campaign contributor, William Allen.

Mr. Pawlenty could have easily fought the democratic-rigged Minnesota Supreme Court, as they time-and-time ruled again in Franken's favor throughout the recount; but Pawlenty, predictably, did nothing - even going so far as to certify the travesty when it was finally over.

Scratch two viable, popular Republicans, without so much as even a lame argument on their behalf. 

Now Pawlenty has temerity enough to appear on Fox News as some credible political commentator, even hinting at a possible presidential run for 2012. This chicken-heart doesn't deserve to even be elected health inspector; and astoundingly, Michael Steele (and the RNC) act as though nothing has happened!

But (time and time again) these events continue to happen; and it appears Ensign will be yet another tossed into the fire, without so much as a parting glance, as the GOP "refuses to interfere"...the cowards!

The actions by these chickens have consequences - GRAVE consequences-  for the future of not only the Republican party, but for the long-term SURVIVAL of America as a free republic! 

If Ted Stevens had been found innocent, would we even be worried about a "public option," or government take over of our medical establishment? 

If Tim Pawlenty had fought for Norm Coleman's rightful victory over Franken, would we even be worried about cap 'n trade...or card check, or public options, or alien amnesty, or any of  these tyrannical actions against our Constitution?

The democratic margin in the Senate would be 58- 42; the democrats would be unable to effect cloture on any Republican filibuster.

But now, the Democrats - because of the willingness of the chicken-hearted Republicans to back away from any political fight - have the entire country over a political barrel, because they play FOR KEEPS.
