Oh well,,, this too shall pass. Better that it’s known now vs. Oct-2012. I’m just glad Barney Frank wasn’t involved.

Nigel and myself have seen this before in the likes of Randy “Douche” Cunningham, cheating on his wife, his peeps, his oath… Just when you think the Conservative Movement is gaining a little momentum, you get this $#!+.

Hmm…

Might get a Buffet suspension here…

First, that screenshot was of the leading paper in South Carolina. So I can see how it might have been the only news of the day…there.

Next…what a ****ing tool. I know the Dems like to go to the “it’s just sex” card, but cheating on your wife speaks to one’s character and leadership qualities. I don’t want a Governor/President/Pastor/School Board President who violates what is supposed to be the most sacred of trusts. If you can cheat on your spouse, who else might you sell out? If you can do it when you KNOW the media will be all over you when you get caught, then you are just an idiot. You shouldn’t be freakin’ captain of your bowling team…

Thanks a lot, Mark Sanford. This country has real problems and you just created the perfect distraction for the Obama-media. It’s not a stretch in my mind to say that you are contributing to the downfall of our great country.

Lookit, part of his platform is the values thing. If he stands on that and pulls this, then it ain’t just hypocrisy. He brought character issues into his politics, so this isn’t really a question of whether his private life should be separated.

The press can’t resist a good hypocrisy story and Sanford fed it to them on a silver platter.

The shame of it to me is that he is a fiscal conservative and we need more like him.

As far as the double standard. Look, Dems are the party of if it feels good, do it (unless it involves nicotine). Shoot, they practically run on that platform. So if Gavin Newsome is caught simultaneously banging his brother’s wife, illegal housekeeper and 4H show pony on Ted Turner’s Montana ranch, he has just solidified support from Los Angeles to Marin County. Extra points if the illegal immigrant is male, btw.

I’m sick of the media deciding on a 9 o’ clock curfew for conservatives so their lib darlings can run through the streets drunk, naked, and un-chaperoned.

I really liked Sanford and thought he could be one of the few fiscally responsible types that might return the GOP to its small-govt roots, but he had to pull his dick out and stick it in South America, by way of us. On the bright side, if he switches parties, he’s good to go.

Sanford was going to be voting on energy and healthcare policy? Who knew?

That screenshot says it all. It looks like Journolist and Townhouse. Everybody gets the same talking points and everybody is singing from the same hymn.

Unfortunately, as annika alluded to, I think a few so-called Right commentators get the blast message as well.

By the high standard established by Democrats for falling on one’s sword for moral failings, Sanford should remain until the end of his second term. After all, he wasn’t paying $4,000 call girls or giving Homeland Security jobs in exchange for butt pleasures like Jim McSkeevy.

Sanford is a nobody in the scheme of national politics. Take away the TARP issue and no one’s ever heard of him before. That he is a “frontrunner” for the Republican nomination in 2012 illustrates how completely lost the Republican Party is.

I’ll concede that the liberals try to smother every legitimate candidate and define them as early as possible but smothering everything in the womb is their modus operandi so it’s hard to tell when it’s out of genuine concern.

Sanford is not a nobody. He was clearly a top GOP candidate for president in 2012 and a major figure today in his refusal of TARP funds. This is a real story. The other 23 3/4 hours of the day should be spent discussing US history in re: socialism, but that is another thing.

“people on the Right need to quit playing games and destroy these people when you get the chance because they are sure as hell going to do it to you.”

Amen brother. I will no longer listen to the likes of Joe Scarborough, and Gallagher is on probation after sticking up for president wimpy last week.

This is serious damage they are doing to our country, & we must fight to win.
