All of this would make more sense if Sanford wasn’t a libertarian leaning Republican. He wasn’t constantly preaching about social issues.

Is it true that Sanford wasn't a social conservative? For months I have been trying to figure out where he was on that spectrum and I could never come up with a conclusion.

It’s not that he wasn’t a social conservative, but he really wasn’t a preacher about morals or anything like that. He was definitely more libertarian in his leanings, IMHO.

While Sanford is a reliable pro-life vote, social issues aren’t his main focus. Fiscal restraint is Sanford’s interest. Yet that not going to stop the media from touting Sanford as a Bible Preacher.

On Fox News, Mort Konkracke said Sanford is a blow to the right wing. He went to say conservatives better support moderates.

Sanford was a L Ron Paul clone.

Most of his supporters on FR and bloggers are third party loons.

The 1998 resolution to make regine change in Iraq the official policy of the U.S. , both L Ron Paul and Sanford
voted against it.

Sanford said “I don’t believe in preemptive war”

so typical of the libertarians and the Left.
