Give us one candidate with a little charisma but solid conservative with brains, heart, guts and knows how to convey the conservative message. Oh..that was Reagan!

Okay... here you go. But she's got a tough uphill battle against a press and country club RINO establishment that's got the long knives arrayed against her...

No. His judgment calls are the basis of my no. He could have been blackmailed, he didn't let his staff know where he was if there was an emergency...not for an hour...no, for A WEEK!!!

No, this man may be the best guy in the neighborhood, but the Presidency of the United States of America MEANS SOMETHING TO ME. NO, he does NOT deserve it.

And I really liked the guy before this, too!

My problem with him is not the affair..big deal. I have a real problem with him leaving the state for five days. As President is he going to get the itch to go to South America for a week and not tell anyone. If he could ensure that this was a one time lapse than perhaps he might get my support again...I just have a real issue with Unauthorized Absenses...just ask my Sailors. lol.

I knew those two set him up, Knotts was the one who called the paper and said he was missing.

Nothing like getting outed by your own.

Those e-mails he wrote were just sloppy...

I seriously question his intelligence and judgement..... not for the affair, but for openly e-mailing about it. As I type here on FR, I am aware someone might know it’s me... so I’m not going to say something stupid. How dumb could Sanford be?

“President Mark Sanford Is Still Possible in 2012”

Um, no, and he certainly will not garner my or anyone in my family’s vote. Bet.

She’s beaten the country club Republicans before, but I don’t know how the Alaskan MSM treated her then.

are you kidding me??????? If he ran in 2012 he would get crushed. Actually, I am sure the MSM would be pushing him hard.

Would I support him over the False Messiah and his counterpart twin in the GOP, Slick Willard ? Of course, but he’s still too damaged now to seriously pursue the office and hope to win (as a Republican, but we’re always judged by different standards... though at least we actually possess standards). I do support him to complete his term as Governor, however, since Andre Bauer is far too risky and RINOish for us to permit ascend to the top job.

President Mark Sanford Is Still Possible in 2012

"Time-Traveling Apes From the Year 3295 Rescue Abraham Lincoln from 1862 And Install Him as US President -- Possible in 2012"

Technically speaking, both are possible.

Won’t happen. Same with Newton Gingrich. They had their chances, and neither would make good candidates against Obama. It’s a loss of credibility among the people whose support they would be required to have.

Exactly. It wasn’t but a few weeks ago that Bill Bennett and company were pooh-poohing Palin over Willow and then saying we need to here from heavy-weights like Sanford.

Obviously, Bennett didn’t know about Sanford’s indiscretions. But those are the sorts of things that, in Bill’s view, warrant dismissal. And he sounded pretty sure that Sanford was the sort of rock-solid condidate that he knew all about, inside and out. Wrong.

Palin, warts and all, is head-and-shoulders above these knuckleheads that babble nonsense or plant both feet squarely in it as soon as someone puts the notion of the Presidency in their heads.

I’m done with him.

Maybe i’m too oldfashioned. Or maybe i’m just a prude.
But i’ve been married for 22 years and have managed not to cheat. Its a choice. A choice not to betray someone who puts their trust in you.

If you will do that to your spouse, what will you do to your constituants?

Its very simple....if you CHOOSE to represent the american people and make your living on the taxpayers dime then please keep your sicko , perverted, corrupt lifestyles at bay for the extent of that service. thats all i ask....if your having trouble with that, then quit the job and look for a position in the private sector.

LOL

Well he won’t have mine. Not only is he an adulterer which repelled me from Clinton, the man abandoned his office to fly out of the country to conduct this affair. Having his staff lie to constituents, the press, and anyone who sought answers where he was.

No. Sanford displayed terrible judgment both in creating this mess and in his pathetic attempt to grovel his way out of it. He is not a leader, he does not command respect.

I wish him well in whatever endeavor he chooses after he puts politics behind him.

The list of disappointing Republicans is so long that it could start with Bennett (Bill and Senator UT Bob both for that matter), but I bet there’s competiong from Aa to Ba.

No, it’s not possible. Who said any publicity is good publicity?
