I am appalled by all the holier than thou FReepers. Sometimes stuff happens and the heart, regardless of age makes decisions that are not popular with family and friends. The good Governor may have found someone who he can be happy with the rest of his life, then again maybe not, who knows. For all you holier than thou hairy legs out there...ever been to Argentina...make you wish you had gone there before you got married GI..
Oh so now were “holier-than-thou” for expecting government officials to live up to their promises, what were we thinking?
In case you didn’t know, this isn’t the first affair Sanford has had.
Its happens. He ought to have had the fortitude to choose.
And, being in politics, he ought to have known he could not hide this. He either needed to file openly for divorce, to bring his public life in line with his private one, or get control of himself... again, to keep his public life in line with his private one.
As I have said elsewhere, people make mistakes, and there is redemption. He will rebuild his life, and his talents can be used in other ways. But his life as a leader is over. And being the experienced pol he is, he ought surely to have known this was the price he would pay.
When I said he needed to get a grip, it was the image of him unable to control his mouth; this one's his soul-mate, he wants to reconcile with that one... its embarrassing. Get a grip.
ever been to Argentina...make you wish you had gone there before you got married
I know what you're saying. I've worked in latin america several times and places. But if you are a governor headed for higher office you need to get control of yourself. If you have a life mission you need to keep your eye on the ball. Thats true of any of us, trying to hold a family together, and its even more true when you aspire to public leadership.
I wish he’d go there so we don’t have to hear anything more about it. I wish we’d never tracked him down. I wish someone from the Republican party would tell him he’s is kicked out of the party because he’s got some (temporary?) mental problems and needs to get out of the way so we can move on working to get this country back on track.
When you are a governor, and a leading candidate for POTUS, have a wife, four kids, you are just plain STUPID to hump a hottie from Argentina and think it is love. This woman will be gone in a few days and all Sanford will have left is nothing.
“I am appalled by all the holier than thou FReepers.”
I am appalled by the fact that you don’t see this man is an unstable flake.
You do know he went missing for a week and no one could find him? This isn’t about some idiot having an affair. There is serious reason to believe that he met up with his “soulmate” using taxpayer dollars on at least one other trip.
This isn’t funny or amusing or acceptable. I am sick of these loser politicians who abuse taxpayer money and think they can stick their boney fingers in our eyes repeatedly.
Enough already....and he did have sex with that woman and probably others.
