[st17011864200074656]

refuses to resign. He owned up to the activity after the woman threatened to blackmail him.

Two guesses as to which party he's in and the first one doesn't count.

At least the Governor is calling on him to resign.

1. If Hillary Clinton had done this...

A $150M "investigation" would already be underway.

2. Republican christian hypocrite -- surprised?

Kintner describes himself as a "Reagan conservative" and not a "Christian conservative".[5] Kintner has said that "moral absolutes of Christianity" informs his views including on abortion.[3] In the Lincoln Journal Star he is quoted as saying "My parents taught me the moral absolutes of Christianity, and I just applied those to everything. They didn't tell me I had to be pro-life. They gave me the belief system that I used." -- Wikipedia

5. Check it out...

10. Hmm. Caved.

3. It would be a better story if they had actual sex on the laptop

But the laptop probably wouldn't have fared very well.

11. Yes, it would have suffered from updated Pepsi Syndrome.

4. Move along nothing to see here.

6. These are the things that make other countries laugh at us

Who gives a shit. So two people masturbated at the same time. Grow up America.

8. When those people are looking to make laws based

On beliefs they don't live up to, and when they do it on the public dime, it becomes public business. If he wasn't busy trying to legislate people having to stick to his morals which he falls short of, it would be different. And doing it on his work computer is just dumb. I'd be fired in a heartbeat for that.

14. It wasn't his laptop, that's the big deal.

Sex & porn & "dating" sites on his own computer would be no big deal. If he picks up a computer virus then it's all on him.

If a state computer is compromised worse things might happen.

Employees in the real world are frequently fired when they're caught fucking around on their employer's computers.

[Warren DeMontague]

16. It's Nebraska.

Even the sex scandals are boring.

17. I fail to see how pointing to a politician's specific hypocrisy is indicative of immaturity.

"Grow up America."

"Who gives a shit."
One imagine at the very least, that particular list you imply comprises everyone on this thread... including yourself.

7. Why should we care about this on DU?

Seriously.

[PersonNumber503602]

13. The whole hypocrisy thing

Not really something I choose to focus or worry about myself, though. As I'd rather not stoop down to the level of those people. But I do understand the desire to point out the "do as I say, but not as I do" stuff.

9. Kintner has admitted to the act but said he believes God wants him to stay put,

and continue to advocate for limited government, lower taxes and public safety.

12. "Stay put." Actually, he may be stuck.
