And you’re certain that’s what she said? Apparently the people in SC know what’s going on. The rest of the country will buy into the fake controversy.

“In the southeast a man taking off for several days to go, hunting, fishing, or hiking, isn’t called a weird act. It’s called getting away for a few days and is as common as a cookout. State lawmakers do it, police chiefs, Sheriffs, Mayors, even rescue squad workers, and key members of the State National Guards.”

By the way I am well aware of the concept of vacations, even presidents do that, but they don’t cut themselves off from the executive office for days without making arrangements and letting the chain of command know in advance.

This is what The Hill published two hours ago.

“First lady Jenny Sanford told The Associated Press she did not know where he husband was, but that she was unconcerned. As news of Sanford’s absence spread on Monday, the governor’s chief of staff called Lt. Gov. Andre Bauer’s (R) office to tell him they had reached Sanford and he was fine.”

So The Hill is repeating what the AP claims she said and you buy it. The AP never tells the truth

You told another poster: This story needs to be laid to rest by him.

Why would you think they will report anything he says quickly or accurately? Did they with Bush? They'll wait until this is out of control then make half hearted attempts to quote Sanford. Have you not watched what's been done to Palin? AND her family? Remember Troopergate? Read about the 14 lawsuits that courts have dismissed? This is no different. The press is always willing to smear.

Don't bother the Team Obama drones are out in full force spreading this non story into a scandal . Slap the scum down.

If you have some news or some facts then post them, if not then it is just gibberish at this point.

We have to deal with this story as it is at this point, at least ten hours have passed and the Governor has not cleared up anything.

You’re certainly welcome.

[ncalburt]

Dry out you panties .
It was a set up with the usual Obama state media twisted quote from the spouse .
Are you this stupid or a DU troll ?

[Moonman62]

Sanford spokesman Joel Sawyer said Sanford left town on Thursday with plans to hike the Appalachian Trail. ..

I thought his wife said he had to get away from the kids on Father's Day weekend so he could do some writing.

[ansel12]

With emotions like that I would say that you might be wearing panties.

Run with it baby! Smear that conservative! The press is as honest as the day is long! They'd NEVER smear a politician that they'd vote against. Never! The press is a never ending well of truth and honesty.

From your page; Most of the people in our society are sheep You are being "herded".

And I've had enough. Good night.

“First lady Jenny Sanford told The Associated Press she did not know where he husband was, but that she was unconcerned.

You're right this should have been the pre release she dave. "Hey Folks my husband is out of town back up in the boonies for a few days. So ifin anybody wants to plan anything like a burglary or such he's not home now.." Sheesh!!!!! If he's hiking the AT then she doesn't know where he is unless she has a GPS chip attached to him.

I'll bet you some persons knew about where he was. Like the Forest Rangers had a trip map and likely his C.O.S. knew he general area and they may have also had a preset daily call in time it sounds like. The only major and realistic concern might possibly be over some rather intense storms that crossed through Tennessee into the Carolina's over the past 4 days. One reason a satellite phone would not have been near as reliable as other simpler and more realistic as well as cheaper means.

Kinda reminds me of when I was a kid & dad would come home from a hunting trip. The car would be tore up, the hot water heater messed up, and a few other things. He knew to expect it every time LOL.

Why are you making a deal deal out of a obvious set up by a political opponent and the Obama state media ?
You believe any quote from an Obama media whore from the SC leftist media crowd .

[ncalburt]

Run back to the Obama smear central . Your mission has failed .Your sad attempt at a pathetic smear has died .

[DJ MacWoW]

Don't bother the Team Obama drones are out in full force spreading this non story into a scandal . Slap the scum down.

I can't believe that anyone on this site that calls themselves conservative could so blindly buy the press account without a question.

I have to go to bed or say something rude. I think I'll go to bed. :-)

[ansel12]

I'll bet you some persons knew about where he was.

It is annoying and troubling that we have to go to bed with still no answer to that from the Governor or his office or anyone else, it makes it seem as though he really is out of contact.

[DJ MacWoW]

Are you this stupid or a DU troll ?

You repeat yourself! lol

Night.

[ansel12]

Very thoughtful posts that you make, full of useful information and not at all like childish outbursts.

[cva66snipe]

You posted where he was and how he was doing in post 63. His C.O.S. heard from him TODAY. If the mans life was in any danger I would have seen it on my LOCAL NEWS at 11:00pm.
