Adultery is a plus in the resumes of Democrats, but Republicans have in the past been quick to throw their politicians under the bus when there was an incident such as Sanford’s adultery.
Maybe the GOP is finally figuring out that Jesus was the only sinless person....and He was crucified by his opposition.
depravity is the mark of a politician
They hypocritical Democrat Party would want to stone Sanford to death while they lionize Teddy.
Oh really? Newt Gingrich, Rudy Giuliani, David Vitter and as host of others didn't stay there for long if, in fact, they ever got tossed there to begin with. Both parties are filled with leaders who have a problem keeping their pants on. And at the end of the day character doesn't matter for either party. Winning does.
The founder of the Democratic Party “married” a woman who was still married to her first husband at the time...so adultery has a venerable history in the party.

Perhaps that has something to do with the fact that the GOP platform includes a section on preserving and protecting traditional marriage. It used to be important to the GOP.
I am not condoning adultery, and Mark Sanford has paid a heavy price in public, and in the esteem of his four sons. However, the other day on Fox News MS was identified as the "disgraced former Gov. of SC". And Bill Clinton goes around with the "elder statesman" label? Bill Clinton committed and suborned perjury, has an alphabet soup of scandals and potentially committed rape! No comparison.
