Dear doosee,

You're a South Carolina voter, so it's really up to you, not to me.

But I wouldn't want the governor of my state to resign from office only because he had an extramarital affair while in office. I didn't think that Mr. Clinton should have been forced from office for fooling around with another woman. I believed that what should have forced him from office was:

1. The inherent abuse of power when a high-level executive gets it on with someone very low in the ranks of the same organization;

2. That Mr. Clinton perjured himself, obstructed justice and harmed or threatened harm to those who told the truth in trying to cover up his affair.

There are seven deadly sins, and most of us fail at one or more of them more than occasionally.

Interestingly, it seems that usually, only those that give in to one of them - lust - are condemned as being unacceptable per se for further public service. And only if they get caught.

If there were extenuating circumstances, I could ignore a Governor who is eating out and forgoing the home cooking. After I had the misfortune of watching Sanford babble on like an idiot about his transgressions, it convinced me he has no common sense. A person with common sense doesnt fly to Argentina on a whim to “break up” with some floozy. Then there is the use of taxpayer dollars for the fling. Also, how many other events has there been. It needs to be ended now.
