Big deal, a man has an affair. Read about Ben Franklin who probably slept with 100 different women in his life....
And he held what public office?

I bet none of those women Ben Franklin ever slept with could have blackmailed him either, it was a different time and a different place you know. In some ways marriage back them was more about producing children and inheritance. The common thing was for rich and successful men to have mistresses on the side. If people want to go back to some of the social contract values of the 1700’s then they better figure out that the founding fathers were no ozzie and harriet.
You know waht is funny about this I was thinking maybe this woman was a plant I dont know seems like the o administration has a way pf leveling the playing field. sanford was very verbal against the stimulus and obama. maybe they felt he was week and they decided to take him down using seduction. Obama won his senate seat after he leveled the playing field and one of his opponets had his divorce records unsealed and that was the end of him
Franklin didn’t lie about it and he had a lot more sense.
The governor of a state ditches his security, abdicates his responsibilities, and follows his sexual urges to Argentina. He is either aware, or should be aware, that such an act is the end of his political career. The judgment and lack of self control he exhibited is outrageously bad. And then, upon being caught, he offers up the most self absorbed juvenile explanation imaginable; putting his girlfriend two places in front of his wife and kids in the list of people he's harmed. He has done damage to every cause to purports to advocate and revealed himself to be a slimeball of unprecedented proportions.
And your response is "big deal", as if the affair is the only issue here? Seriously?
