If he won’t be loyal to his wife and kids, he won’t be loyal to the voters.

Bingo! This is a personal litmus test for me, and why I wouldn’t ever vote for Newt.

Colonel, USAFR

Whoo boy! Why can’t these Republican politicians understand that they will always be held to a higher standard than wayward Dems? Particularly if you are an important leader, why can’t you just behave?

This means he can apply to be the head of the Democrat Governor's Association.

It amzzes me that a conservative republican with presidential ambitions would allow himself to get sucked into an affair.

Guess that’s a testament to the overpowering stupidity of testes.

I feel very sorry for the wife and children who have to suffer the public implosion of their family.

And you know Obama and the MSM have dug deep, very deep if you know what I mean.

The need to keep digging and see if Sanford traveled to Argentina with his own U.S. Passport or if you used some other "passport."

“Sounds like he was acting like a——Democrat.”

“He could give John Edwards a good run for hypocrite of the year.”

With this in breaking news I bet Johnny’s walking on eggshells again around the house.

Was that intentional?

Apparently that wasn't all that was being laid.

“One person you KNOW hasn’t had an affair *ever* is Sarah Palin. Anything that could be dug up on her has already been tried and she’s ended up clean.”

If Gov. Palin so much is had lunch with a man that wasn’t her husband the MSM would be all over it and some holier than thou types would be ordering the scarlet “A”.

This isn’t news.

HEY ALL:

What he did was wrong, to both his family and his duty in office. HOWEVER, lets not dehumanize the man down to the status of a moral punching bag—excepting that the Freeper who has never did anything wrong take the first punch.

I meant amazes. A and Z are both RH pinky strokes and I’m vision impaired so I don’t always notice my typos. Spell check was invented for people like me (who then don’t use it).
