Intentional self-destruction of a once powerful voice.
5th column or a huge gathering of extremely stupid people?
Your guess is as good as mine.
The Pubs continue to be a joke.
ZOT!!! Thanks, Mod. I'm beside myself and really can't be held responsible.
This isn’t just a Repub thing, this is a politician in general thing. Let’s face it, for the most part, it has been a long time since politics has drawn in statesmen.. Politicians are the lowest form of career next to lawyers (no offense to good lawyers comparing you to politicians) and people pimping MLMs.
You make it sound like we, the people, are responsible for what he did... We’re not. Only he is... I’m sorry about it as well. But I would never let a dem get away with leaving his wife home for 4 or 5 days and not telling her where he is. I wouldn’t give sanford a pass on it either.
A lot of people, myself included, immediately expected it would be another women. We were right.
Get over yourself.
Just another Republican Pagan claiming to be Christian.shalom b'SHEM Yah'shua HaMashiachClearly Sanford does not belong to an accountability group.
I'm already beside myself. That would be one body occupying 3 spaces at one time.
It's hard enough to do 2.

When did you change your name? It looks good!
Sanford was right not to take the stimulus money.
Sanford was wrong to cheat on his wife.
People are complex and imperfect.
There’s nothing in the Sanford story that causes me to change my political philosophy. It does make me doubt that Sanford is the right man to be president after Obama.
Let them make pancakes on their own time.
I say “5th column.”
Anyone wanna argue that the pubbie leadership (what leadership?) has a brain?
Seems to me that the only thing that has changed in the political arena is the accessibility of information through the media. There is no longer a buffer zone that was enjoyed by JFK and his predecessors....Politician’s personal lives are no different from other walks of life, including ministers, doctors, lawyers, etc, except they are fair game for the media. The mistake that conservatives make is they hold themselves up to a higher standard and a large percentage cannot live up to that standard....
Was this guy a bad governor?
One thing is for sure, he is a dumba$$.
I feel your pain, brother.
I’m beyond commenting, except for some crazy thoughts that zing through my brain, such as:
These so-called Republican philanderers are Democrats planted long ago (like sleeper FReepers) to come out with “revelations” at timely moments. This is the perfect smokescreen for the havoc being wreaked by Chairman Barry et al.
It’s as good a conspiracy theory as any, don’t you think?
In the meantime, this morning Laura Ingraham asks how long before the Chinese are our masters?
Governator Ahnold is leaving, `bout time.

I really doubt that out of 50 governors, Sanford is the only one to have an affair. In fact I suspect there are several more going on to this day. In fact I suspect some are known to the media but they don’t care about those.
The combination of money, access, and power are an addictive drug.
The saddest part is that the South Carolina GOP appears ready to toss him overboard and have already stated that they have two “wonderfull” senators up to the job. Personally I can forgive him (that is the Christian way) and hope that he remains the governor since we have too few with the integrity he’s shown in political matters.
You are a recently signed-up NOBODY, and xzins is a long-time respected FReeper, so you’re the one who needs to take a hike.
Dang, was the pharmacy closed today?
Sanford may be labeled as a republican but he is more
in line with L Ron Paul and the Libertarians.
When he was in congress he voted with Paul.
Many of the L Ron Paul and Chuck Baldwin people on FR have been pushing Sanford for Pres.
Also Libertarian bloggers have supported Sanford.
Sanford is the Never ending Joke of the Libertarians.
Please remove this commie propaganda.
Mitt Romney is secretly smiling.
