Sanford admits to affair

If you can't be loyal to your wife (and more importantly, your kids) than how the hell can you be trusted with the massive (usually evil) power of the state?

If you want to screw around, don't get married. If you can't stand your wife, get a divorce. But you don't cheat on your wife. I'm sorry if that's old fashioned, but it really disgusts me in most cases. (and i'm fairly moderate socially)

IN any case, I never bought this guy's devotion to the liberty movement. No anti-war, anti-state, pro-market libertarian would pander to creeps like Newt Gingrich.

Why more importantly your kids? Did you vow to your children you would be faithful to your wife? I don't undesrtand the aside "and more importantly your kids". Other than that quibble, yeah I agree with all of it.
 
Welcome to the twilight zone of political intrigue. This one is over the top, but so is most news nowadays. This story is in bizarro land, and the level of play it is getting seems disproportionate.


Intrigue or outright lies and manipulation? :o
 
if you do not have morals than you cannot be trusted .....bottom line

lol what of it? You guys care more about a personal contract that has nothing to do with you while turning the other way as they pick your pocket, and you talk about morals, give me a fucking break. This is about religion not morals.

Yeah we are talking about the only governor that fought against taking bailout money dumbass.
 
Ita. It's the end of the story as far as MSM is concerned, though. Who knows what the truth really is...would you lie and say you had an affair if people wanted you out of office? How about to protect your family? Your children? These guys play hardball. How do we know he didn't 'disappear', out from the watchful eyes of those who watch him, to do something they wouldn't like? Even expose them? His disappearance is very odd. He could have just arranged a vacation. Or a trip to visit his lover. It's done all the time. It's like he couldn't trust anyone, not even his own staff, to know where he was going. And the timing- right after some big political battles and on Father's Day weekend? I know that's heading way into conspiracy, and maybe he did just have an affair and that's all there is to it, but how would we know? This sort of thing seems to happen a lot. Especially during times when distractions are needed. ;)


It's all fishy to me.

Well, I wasn't taking the plot that far. :)

If Sanford was being blackmailed or something, I'd hope he'd have the courage to blow the whistle or something other than construct this elaborate hoax.

My comment was more along the lines of Danno's thinking, that the affair itself may just be one piece of the overall personal situation, and there may be some more blame to spread around than just Sanford's bedhopping spree.
 
First Spitzer, and now Sanford. Geez..

Why can't the shitty politicians ever admit to an affair or get caught for paying for sex?

You judge me very quickly my friend. I have never turned away and I never will. I have been fighting since I was old enough to understand.

Not about religion at all.
It is about a commitment, will power, and the ability to make sound decisions even when tempted. If he chose to sacrifice his own kids and family then do you think he would think twice about selling out people he has never even met?? NO he would not especially if presented with incentive, like getting a piece of Argentinian ass!! (BTW I have land in Argentina;)
 
There are certain circumstances that people never see. People love to judge before they truly understand. But there is no excuse for breaking marriage vows. If there was a problem, he should've addressed it and maybe they could have divorced. That would have been much more honest and he would not be in deep shit now. He is despicable. Obviously not an honest man. Unfortunately, he was the closest thing that we would have got to a real conservative in 2012 that could actually win an election. But again, he is a cheater and a liar, so...maybe it wouldn't have been so great in the first place not that I really trusted him before.

I agree with you 100%.

I was prepared to support his presidential run. This ends any real chance of getting a libertarian Republican elected in 2012.

How do u think his kids feel about their mother being betrayed???? What he did to THEIR MOTHER he also does to them.

Total mind-fuck when kids realize that their family is based on a LIE.

....and how you perform under it has everything to do with character
 
No, she could have broken her vows to him as well. When a woman holds out, I believe she is breaking her vows. That's just my male opinion that most women can't comprehend, but.. ya.. if you wanna talk about vows let's take it from both sides.


You are assuming she held out and that is why he cheated. Some men cheat out of boredom, mid-life crisis, insecurity, etc. In any case, don't take vows unless you intend to keep them, otherwise, what's the point?

So we should only get pissed about the cheating and abuses that bear your moral stamp of approval.

A willingness to overlook these personal transgressions would indicate you're actually more prepared to support the status quo than we are.

It doesn't make it easier, but I think you underestimate us. Us, the mess that the nation will be in by then, and the anger that will be prevalent as a result.

I say we keep on keeping on, and see how the chips fall.

Wow. What a great catch you are.

That's my take on it.

I hope you're right. I've been quite depressed about the future of the country lately, and Sanford was my one bright spot.

This really hurt my spirit.
