I'm sure they would too, but it's one of those issues where it really points out the hypocrisy of the party. It's like when a Republican violates family values and has a homosexual affair. It invokes a Nelson "ha ha" response.
You mean Senator Ben "Diaperman" Nelson (he reportedly had an adult baby fetish with his prostitute, not sure about his wife. I'm sorry, but even as a registered Independent I *have* to laugh at him!
Also, he and his wife had no problem making maximum political exploitation of Bill Clinton's affair, his wife even criticized Hillary saying if *her* husband did that she'd do a Loreana Bobbit on him (apparently she failed to live up to her promise, at least I *think* she didn't)!
You're the one showing the typical Republican hypocracy that if an Democrat has an affair its a serious public policy issue, but if a Republican has an affair its a "private matter" (even if that same Republican has made political hay on affairs of the opposition).
My issue with Republicans and Tea Partiers is that they don't want Big Government, except they want their Social Security, Corporate Welfare, Tax Cuts borrowed from future generations *and* they want the Government to be in everybody's bedrooms (anti-gay marriage, anti-gay adoption, don't ask don't tell, anti-polygamy) and every doctor's exam room (anti-abortion, some oppose it even if the life of the mother is at risk -- 'cause Jesus will save 'em -- and in case of rape and incest -- 'cause Jesus had incest in his family tree according to a careful reading of the Christian Bible, and what a same it would have been if Mary of Nazareth had taken some Pennyroyal and Black Cohosh...).
Two percent of zero is almost nothing.
