Like I said on another thread. I think we all would be wise not to do any cheerleading, rather put every single potential candidate under a magnifying glass and make them prove to US why they are deserving of becoming POTUS.
Global warming is already disproven much less in 2012. Sanford opposes regulations and taxes as a means of fighting emissions, so his view of global warming from years ago isn’t an indicator of policy. I’m good with him there unless I hear more about it.
Who would buy it?
Well, lots of people, I'm sure. Like:
* Marriott could put one in every nightstand drawer next to the Bible. He's on the board, so it would be a shoe-in.
* Hairdressers and balding men in search on insider tips to truly awesome hair.
* People with one table leg just a tad shorter than the other three.
Story from October 2008 on Sanford’s executive order from 2007! This is not “ancient history”. Are we supposed to only look at their actions and statements they do during their latest campaign? Lol. Sanford buys into the manmade global warming hysteria. Maybe he’ll have a John Kerry or Mitt Romney moment and be against it after he was for it.

The story is from 2008, the action and comment is from 2007, which is the sole source I’ve seen for this nonsense.
You obviously did not even read the article, since it links to Sanfords actual executive order, which is the ultimate source.
BTW I don’t get it... because this article is 5 months old, it should be dismissed? What his your timeframe which we should apply to candidates?
BTW how is this “nonsense”. The comment and executive order ARE from Sandy... what’s there to misunderstand?
Order to create a committee (wow! as opposed to Romney creating Socialised Government Health Care in Massachetts). The order is from 2007 — which makes you wrong and covering the same ground. Two years ago he created a committee — big deal! Do you know what politicians do when they don’t want to deal directly with something or they don’t care about it? They create a committee. You are really off base on this one.
How does it make me wrong? He didn't just create a comittee... he made some pretty ridiculous statements on it.
Do you know what politicians do when they don’t want to deal directly with something or they don’t care about it? They create a committee.
They should call out the BS when they see it, instead of wasting taxpayers' money on "committees".
You are really off base on this one.
The only one off base is the isolationist, global-warming hysteric and name-calling Governor Sanford.
BTW it's funny that you bring up Romney... it's hardly a secret that I'm a Palin guy.
You claim that money was spent on the committee. Do you know that this is true or are you just making that up? How much was spent?
LOL! You don’t seriously think that Committees work and prepare reports for free!?
A lot of committees do work for free.
He goes in the RINO column.
Thanks.
Disregard this post.
“he has made some mistakes,”
Huge ones. Like supporting socialist heath care. Oh wait I forget “it’s just like forcing people to buy auto insurance, sureley you aren’t against that!”.
Without Slick Willard’s personal fortune, he would be a joke of a candidate. He chickened out of re-election. If a governor decides to cut and run out of re-election, no one in his/her right mind would consider that governor to be presidential material.
Oh he didn’t “chicken out”. He just didn’t didn’t give a damn about being Governor, he just wanted the resume credit. He had it, no need for a second term. It would have just interfered with his full time campaign anyway.
Quite foolish on his part, if he had campaigned as a conservative, blasting gay marriage (which he started to be ‘against’ when it was time to position himself nationally) and lost, that would have endeared him to many people.
Why do you like Sanford?
He was against removing Saddam, he is against using force preemptively (in other words he’d only fight AFTER we are attacked with WMD), he is a global warming hysteric and called everyone who wants Obama to fail “idiots”.

Yep, dems da facts.
Ah. That same media that had 99 percent of Americans believing that Hillary was so beloved that she'd be a shoo-in for the Democrat nomination? That same media that pretends America loves Academy Award motion pictures that dwindle at the box office? That same media that has never reported on the phenomenal affection accorded the uber-popular Rush Limbaugh, the media that tries to tell us he's unpopular? That same media that is doing its best to convince the world that most Americans like Obama, a guy who would never have won if not for voter fraud?
That/s the media that "ruined" Palin for the presidency?
Jaidyn, as long as you believe the media calls the shots, you believe in illusion and will allow yourself to be manipulated by your enemies every time. And as long as you believe media validation is needed, then you will NEVER see a conservative in the White House.
