Very surprising that a capable candidate wasn’t available to take him out in the primary.

Now, I’d like to know who financed this tool’s campaign. Can we please know?

One was. I suspect dirty tricks. Please, someone find out who paid for Sanford’s campaign.

“he self-destructed with spectacular speed”

Nonsense. He’ll still win.

Go to the state elections office online or the FEC and look for yourself. Don’t ask for something you can do yourself with relative ease. Are you a member of the dependent class? I don’t think so...hope not anyway.

Oh, go pound sand. Do you run around on FR and play thread nazi? I suspect that the Democrats maneuvered this primary, and they’re not likely to be obvious on a filing.

The national GOP is still a bunch of amateurs. If they were on the ball, they would have found out about these issues and disclosed them during the primary. It really does amaze me how bad the national GOP is when it comes to spotting issues and getting on top of them for elections.

Pound sand yourself, you lazy SOB. I just told you where you could find the information you WANT SOMEONE ELSE to provide you. You should be ashamed. Obviously you’re computer literate or you wouldn’t be here. Lazy you are...just like many here who are what I call CYBERCOWBABIES. Think pounding out a few pithy remarks or in your case begging for information rather than making things happen for yourself. You should be ashamed.

So, the GOPe is willing to forgive him for cheating on and very publicly humiliating his wife leading to his high-profile resignation as a Governor, but throws him overboard for an unproven charge of trespassing? Do I have that clear?

GOPe is assembling a circular firing squad. Again.

I doubt that, he'll marry her or he already would have. I kind of think he wants both his wife/family and his piece from South America. If you have read Jenny's autobio you'd know that he spent the last months of his marriage begging and demanding that his wife to give him permission to be unfaithful. This is a weird weird guy--we do not want him.

He was promoted up with help from those who planned and hoped in the long run it would hurt the republicans. He should do the right thing and withdraw his name so we can replace him with another candidate.

****************************************************************
You folks do know that the original linked article was from the Washington Post, don’t you? Yes, that Washington Post that is such a good friend of conservatives and Republicans. They couldn’t possibly be trying to promote a Republican defeat—could they? And, if they were trying to engineer such a Republican defeat in a special election they wouldn’t be able to find any Useful Idiots here on Free Republic, would they?

Seriously, I supported Bostic (small donation—I’m not in SC so couldn’t vote) in the Republican runoff. But, since Sanford won the run-off, I’ll support Sanford in the general election of this special election.

I didn’t think that Sanford would need any of my small financial help, but after seeing the Washington Post (along with some apparent members of the GOPe) get on the anti-Sanford warpath, I’ll have to reconsider that assumption and donate to the Sanford campaign. I hope that those of you who are not supporting the Democrat candidate will consider donating also to this non-GOPe conservative Republican.

This guy is obviously guilty of serial poor judgement. Why pick him out of many other eligble candidates who have moral compasses to represent SC in the Congress? I don’t get it.

Looking through the comments I see a number of folks are interested in electing another Democrat to Congress—althought they’ll try to convince you their motives are pure. I know better and so should all true conservatives.

This guy is a walking disaster. His excuse for going into his wife’s house, he wanted to watch the Super Bowl with his 14 year old son. Why not call the son up ahead of time and bring him back to his own residence? Well that would avoid all the drama and Mark is all about the drama.

If he is such a devoted father he wouldn’t have skipped out of the country on Father’s Day 2009 to spend time with his mistress in South America.

And what a classy way to have his sons meet his former mistress/now fiancee. with the camera there to capture every uncomfortably moment for public viewing.

All I need to know about this creep is to listen to that impromptu press conference where he gushed over his mistress and their adolescent affair. He had all the emotion stability of an emo 14 year old who shows up the first day for all the Twilight movies and stalks Justin Bieber on Twitter.
