Sanford admits to affair

Say it ain't so, Joe

 

[RM918]

Yeah, they love raining down on Republicans. I wouldn't be surprised if there were people asking whether or not he should be arrested.

 

[newbitech]

All that matters is that people pay attention to the Sanford scandal, and not the Bernanke/BoA story.

it never fails does it? I for one will be watching this one closely. Issa seemed to tone down a little on the rhetoric last night on Kudlow. But he still calls it a coverup.

re: Sanford so he's human big deal. BUT that particular human ought to be held to the highest standards for his actions. He is the governor of South Carolina. He left his post to go have sex. What the hell? I am not sure if I accept this as the full reason why he "disappeared".

National Rubric Playdough (sorry, I mean National "Public" Radio) has three or more stories they're juggling on this one topic. Yeah, they love hammering Republicans just as if they're different from Democrats.

I left a comment on one this morning taking our old friend and lousy pollster Ken Rudin to task for equating he and John Edwards with people like Spitzer, Clinton and Vittier who not only broke vows, but laws. I also mentioned that he was still considering our friend the doctor as 'He Who Must Not Be Named', and laughed at him for suggesting Romney still has a chance after laughing at the man who predicted the economic meltdown. I apologize to those other people who had left comments on that as well--they just rearranged all their stories on the subject and tossed the whole thread of comments...

Oops. I found where they moved it:

Not where I left it, but I'm pleasantly surprised to see it ain't gone yet.

There is far more Sanford affair media coverage then Edwards and Edwards was a Presidential candidate with a terminally ill wife who came out and lied; just like Bill Clinton.

I am questioning if Sanford is really that much of a dope to be using taxpayer money for his Argentina flings? Do you guys think the man is really that dumb?

Possibly he knew his wife was going to "rat" him out, and decided to confess first. But media already looking for his replacement, lol.

they are claiming he used taxpayer money, but it was on another trip where they just stopped in EZE. He said yesterday he used his own funds to go.

So governor's shouldn't be allowed time off if it is used for sex? You think we are really so dependent on them that we cannot afford them to "leave their post"? What damages did SC incur because of his absence?

No harm at all. Yes, it was probably better off. But when you are the Official Decision Maker and Go-To Guy, you need to transfer power before you disappear off the face of the Earth. The average voter is hearing all this and thinking, gee, I'm glad he didn't have control of the "nuclear football" at the time. That kind of thinking kind of knocks you out of presidential contention.

There seems to be a lot of intolerance in this thread. Harry Browne, one of the great icons of the freedom movement, used to advocate orgies and a concept her referred to as "non-marriage". He looked at love from a rational standpoint, and pointed out that as people grow, they change. You aren't the person you were five years ago and you aren't going to be the same person you are five years hence. The problem with marriage is its inflexibility. A couple should remain together so long as they both love each other. But when that condition changes (as it frequently does) those people should walk away from that relationship, and we should respect that. Gov. Sanford seems to have fallen madly in love with this Argentinian bird. It happens. Either his wife needs to be flexible and allow him the occasional trip down South (which she doesn't seem to want to do) or she needs to ask for a divorce. And we should all let them go through this process in peace.

Absolutely right!
However, Sanford is typically an honest guy, but here's what happens when an honest guy gets confronted (lots of dancing):

If you ask me, the Bilderbergers didn't want a true liberty-speaking official in their clique, nor in power at all, especially with knowledge of what goes on at Bilderberg meetings.

IMO - he was targeted by Bilderbergers, and it was his lust for women they used to target him.

I told you all he was a SCUMBAG from day 1! I knew he was banging some chick all along.

On Fathers Day no less...he's awol...then lies about it to his constiuents...

NEVER TRUST A BILDEBERGER!!!!!!

NEVER TRUST AN ADULTERER!!!!!

So, you're saying that Browne advocated sex outside of the marriage? If that's so, he was a scumbag in that area.

If both parties in the marriage agree to the deal, then it's one thing - not my business.

But trying to persuade young girls that insisting on monogamy is somehow unreasonable is not.

who cares what he does with his penis???

+1 zillion.

Unbelievable! The furore about this. People need to mind their own business. We all human. We all make mistakes. We all need to stop casting rocks. We all full of unwholesome aspects. Lucky for the rest of us we are not in the public eye. If we all attended to our own shortcomings and stopped leering at others' the world would be a bit happier.

I agree, I am sick of all of this Sanford bashing.

I am going to go watch a wholesome family program now; maybe Jon and Kate plus Eight...

Just how Sanford is a scumbag in THIS AREA, right?

Yes, they can talk about Michael Jackson dying and Farah Fawcett dying.

Therefore:
May they both rest in peace. I really liked Farrah; she seemed a decent human being. She did a great job in "The Burning Bed".

Michael was weird but talented.
