Yep. I agree. Until his weird meltdown, he was THE most outspoken elected official about the Obama agenda. I felt like he had created the blueprint for beating Obama, and drawing a line between the states and DC. Sort of what we saw later from Perry and Brewer on specific issues.

Sanford has all the conservative creds; he has unfortunately unraveled in his personal life since 2009. I am cautiously optimistic that he could be a real asset in the House.

Though not without fault in his moral value, it's clear that Mark Sanford is not a sodomite. And, unlike his vile opponent, he the type of individual who merits our prayerful forgiveness.

Until his weird meltdown,...

Have you noticed that all of the conspiring journalists' stories, without letup, even today and tonight, always recount the official narrative of what happened to Sanford and what he did during that time? Have you noticed the constancy of buzzwords related to Sanford in the news? Like Argentine mistress, Appalachian Trail, and other such references kept alive by other posters on this thread.

Not many posters here tonight seem to doubt the yarn told by the SCGOPe, the Dems, and the willing pretenders holding jobs in journalism. Odd that some FReepers have swallowed this bait and have been so easily hooked. Now, what if it turns out one day that the story was not told straight? What then? Well, no worries; not many on this FR thread seem to give much support Mark Sanford the conservative politician anyway.

But, in spite of incidents that sometimes call it into question, I still believe that FR remains a website for conservatives.
