Look folks. Are we kidding with Mark Sanford? Is this some sort of sick joke, keeping this cad around?

We’ve already gone over this, days ago.

We don’t care how much “love” this man got from his foreign woman or what his financial records look like. The man is scum and needs to leave the South Carolina governor’s mansion right now.

buddy....we have a communist dictator in the white house, a freaking idiot joining the Senate from Minn, N. Korea rattling sabres and bombs, Iran hanging protestors, our national debt and deficit higher than Mt Mckinley, and we need to worry about a Gov having an affair....one that he admits too....

go back to your dummy board......we all hate what Sanford did but when you rank scum bags, he's way down the list among our politicians.....way down....

[period end of story]

Freaking. Get that or do you need further clarification?

Yes, I need "further clarification."

Give it a try.

[Minn]

More platitudes. What’s next, “war is unpleasant”?

[byteback]

I believe he was cleared of any misuse of state funds today. That was of more concern to me than his affair. I don’t have any insight into his home life nor is it any of my business.

[Pitcairn]

I think cheating on your wife is a pretty serious offense.

This is not like looking over someone’s shoulder to see if 2 plus 2 equals 4.

The only reason the American people put up with their “representatives” lying, and cheating and stealing is because people like you think it is “no big deal.”

Well, it is a big deal. And Americans should not have to accept this crap just because it “goes on.”

[Protect the Bill of Rights]

I prefer to leave that up to those in South Carolina.

[trumandogz]

Yes, people cheat and do not lose their jobs.

However, if I were to run away from my job for a week and not tell anyone where I was, had an affair and used company resources to have the affair, I would likely be fired.

[YHAOS]

Actually, I think it’s more likely that he is an idiot.

[Pitcairn]

Fair enough. You make a good point. That being said, it is not really fair to say that we now need to dumb our own standards down just because a communist president and those that elected him have done so as well.

Agree?

[presently no screen name]

if I were to run away from my job for a week and not tell anyone where I was, had an affair and used company resources to have the affair, I would likely be fired.

Yeah and if I ran for president they would ask for my COLB. Life sucks, doesn't it.

[berdie]

I love it when people cut to the chase.

(And an additional opinion...they both need to go counseling and cut the cr^p with all this public cleansing..imho.)

[SIDENET]

Sanford is a piece of excrement.

Typical of the dog crap that supposedly "represents" us.

I'd like to spit in his damn face.

[Pitcairn]

So you leave any sense of right and wrong to the states? While I agree with the concept, I am not sure that one can justify flat out lying as the perogative of the states to decide if right or wrong. There has to be some basic code of conduct or we all move back toward the law of the jungle.

[Pitcairn]

I am well. What is your point?

[Rocco DiPippo]

For Christ's sake, when will we learn to stop publicly attacking the politicians who more or less (politically speaking), are conservative? Here's a thread I'd like to see in place of this Sanford one: "Barack Hussein Obama, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, Dick Durbin, Ted Kennedy, Barney Frank, John Kerry, Eric Holder, John Murtha, Barbara Lee, Maxine Waters, John Conyers, Patrick Leahy, Charles Schumer, John Edwards and most other Democrat politicians are lying, cheating, America-averse, America-hating, quasi-communist, racist, sexist, pro-terrorist, pro-Islamist, anti-US Military, redistributionist, elitist scumbags who represent no one except a small contingent of unproductive far-Left sickos and malcontents; neocommunists, perverts, race-baiters, thieves--and themselves."

Did I miss anything?

[LeoWindhorse]

sure knows how to work his own post , don’t he ?

;^)

[pissant]

With either hand.

[berdie]

So I am forced to assume you have never read the Constitution? 10th Amendment?

[Rocco DiPippo]

I hear you!—these “Dr. Phil” style public confessions make my skin crawl. When you do wrong, (and we ALL do wrong), make amends and seek atonement privately. Personal confessions in front of a camera are creepy, and completely pathetic.

[Pitcairn]

The Bill of Rights never intended that its purview would allow for the complete eradication of all common sense and the basic morals upon which the Founders decided to craft a new nation.

What the Founders failed in was in assuming that the same morals and values and society would still exist without having to write it down on paper.

And Mark Sanford's reign as governor of South Carolina is something that the Founders would certainly not have said was merely “okay” because they did not specifically address fornication and adultury in the Constituion.
