I think the bigger truth is some politicians weather controversy better than others-Republican or Democrat.
On the other hand, Here is Eric Cantor on whether two Republicans who lied about affairs they were having:
WALLACE: Finally, when you’ve got Republican leaders like Governor Mark Sanford of South Carolina or Nevada Senator John Ensign admitting to extramarital affairs and staying in office, questionable use of either private funds or state money, in the case of Sanford, doesn’t the GOP, with all its talk of family values, risk looking like a bunch of hypocrites?
CANTOR: Look, I mean, is anyone happy to see all that have happened? No. I mean, it’s not good. But listen. We have our thoughts with their families and they themselves.
However, look. The party is not just about personalities. It’s about ideas. It’s about our ability to go out and prove that yes, we can lead this country again. So we have got a plan. We are talking about the solutions that actually can address some of the problems that working people in this country are facing, and we’re going to do that over the course of the next 16 months.
WALLACE: But if you’re going to talk the talk, why not walk the walk and say, “You know what? They should step down?”
CANTOR: Well, listen. I mean, again, I say in the instance of the people in South Carolina and Nevada, it is up to them, and those are the elected individuals by those states.
And again, it’s not about, necessarily, these personalities. The direction of this country — and the challenges that we face are enormous. And we ought to be talking about how to go about creating jobs again. We ought to be talking about the things that matter most to people in this country.
But Cantor on Anthony Weiner?
"I don't condone his activity. And I think he should resign," Cantor said after a Chamber of Commerce luncheon in Louisa.
I am sure there are examples of Democrats doing the same (lenient of Democrats and tough on Republicans with similar ethics issues).
