See, if the republican party didn't pretend to be the gate keepers of morality and didn't pretend that republicans are moral and democrats are immoral, than they wouldn't need to step down as often, when their human weaknesses are exposed.
But the truth is that politicians from both parties are involved in plenty of scandals.
And because only the republicans have tried to run on a platform of being morally superior, democrats involved in scandals may end up looking embarassed, but republicans come off worse--as embarassed hypocrites.
Edit: The republicans end up having to step down more after sex scandals because they
had pretended to have more integrity than the democrats had; and it then becomes discovered that they, in fact, didn't. Let's not confuse their pretense for actual integrity.
