The increasingly nasty fight between South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford and Lt. Gov. Andre Bauer escalated further this week with charges from a legislative ally of Bauer that Sanford and his supporters are spreading malicious rumors that Bauer a Republican like Sanford is gay.
GOP state Sen. Jake Knotts made the charge in a letter to state legislators Wednesday that was obtained by POLITICO. In an interview in June with The State newspaper, Bauer voluntarily brought up the subject of his sexual orientation. Asked if he was gay, he responded: One word, two letters. No.
But the rumor has continued to circulate widely on the Web and has become caught up in the continuing drama surrounding Sanford, whose adulterous affair with an Argentine women has led to calls for his resignation. Bauer, who would succeed Sanford if he left office, called for Sanford to resign last week.

Sanford is loooooong overdue. Resign already! The liar is desperately clinging to power just for the heck of it.
*yawn*

Look at his profile on wikipedia, draw your own conclusions. My gaydar is sensing something on this./Just Asking - seoul62........
Just switch parties governor and all will be forgiven. You can still have all the affairs you want and even invite them into the governor’s mansion. Resign, governor, resign.
Even if true...so what? Bauer ain’t the one who was flying down to South America to bone his sweetie.
This guy is really starting to tick me off.
This kind of crap happens in California, not South Carolina.
South Carolina

There’s no call for this.
Sanford should go. Quickly.
Best,

It’s juicy though, lol.
Oh please. Jake Knotts, like he doesn’t have a political angle.
Folks not from S.C., just ignore everything for awhile, we have Republican infighting going on down here and they are eating their own fighting for power.
The only saving grace we have is DeMint so just ignore the local stuff until they’re done duking it out.
What a gay response.
I always thought Bauer and Loafers would make a cute couple....
Born in Charleston went to the University of South Carolina and was a Varsity Male Cheerleader.
Yep. He’s got teh ghey.
As long as Bauer remains, Sanford should NOT quit. Bauer is a power-whoring creepy RINO menace.
Well, he’s obviously wrong. However, it is entirely a fair tactic to use in politics. Bauer needs to find something to hit him back with is all.
W is not gay—possibly RINO, not gay.
