Health Care for America Now (HCAN) the nations largest health care campaign launched a new television ad in Nevada today aimed at Republican Senator John Ensign. Senator Ensign is a member of the Senate Finance Committee which is voting on health care reform legislation this week. The Senator has already voted down two amendments that would give everyone the choice of a strong national public health insurance option proof he is siding with the private health insurance industry instead of the people of Nevada.

1. he's such an unattractive politician

even without the scandal, he looks like a movie villain.

2. Daddy's boy

The thing that bothers me the most about Ensign is how his daddy bailed him out by paying his mistress. Can't the man even clean up his own mess?

3. Still in Trouble

Came out the other day that he might be in violation of ethics laws for trying to find her husband a job as a lobbyist. They did not even wait a year as the law says and even had his office intervene in the process. The Senate needs to throw him out to show they can police themselves.

4. Ensign must have felt The Family would protect him.

Maybe he's no longer a member.

Senator Ensign, a member of a male evangelical group that promotes marital fidelity, recently admitted to having an affair with a campaign staffer. He later disclosed that his parents gave almost $100,000 to the staffer and her family. Governor Sanford’s wife recently moved out of the governor’s mansion, weeks after Sanford admitted to visiting a woman in Argentina and committing infidelities with several other women. And last month, Congressman Pickering’s estranged wife filed suit against his alleged mistress, claiming the woman had ruined their marriage.

But these Republicans’ ties extend beyond their marital woes. All three have, at one time, lived in a former convent on Capitol Hill known as the C Street house, and all three are connected to a secretive group known as the Fellowship, or the Family. It’s probably an organization you’ve never heard of, but it’s one of the most powerful Christian fundamentalist movements in this country.

The Family’s devoted membership includes Congress members, corporate leaders, generals, foreign heads of state, dictators. The longtime leader, Doug Coe, was included in Time Magazine’s 2004 list of the twenty-five most influential evangelicals in America.
