I think you need to “grow up” this is about state government and a governor that pulled a five day disappearing act with no way to reach him and without letting the chain of command know that he wasn’t still a part of it.
“If she knew, why did she tell the media she didn’t know..”
It’s none of your business. What a married man and women do is their own business.
I am a South Carolinian. I was at first tempted to say this story was “much ado about nothing.” But that’s not true. This story lays bare the clear, selfish, hateful agenda of a number of politicians in the South Carolina REPUBLICAN Party. And I’m gonna NAME NAMES.
Governor Andre Bauer, whom I supported for Lt. Governor in 2002 & 2006, has apparently been itching for revenge since Gov. Sanford’s wife Jenny endorsed another candidate for Lt. Gov. in ‘06. When he couldn’t reach the governor “immediately” and the staff wouldn’t reveal Sanford’s whereabouts, HE went to the PRESS.
For those who don’t know, the Media HATES Sanford. They were only too GLAD to further the smear. They distorted the statements of both Mrs. Sanford and the Governor’s staff (from what I have gathered from my readings and admittedly limited sources) to make it appear that Governor Sanford was derelict in his duties.
Of course Sanford’s enemies in the Legislature took up the cause. Senate Pro Tem Glenn McConnell has proposed a bill to further control the actions, movements and choices of the Governor — even in his “personal” retreats and vacations — as if they haven’t emasculated the office of Governor already with their lust for Federal stimulus funds. Now, they get to seize more control in a thinly veiled political “coup... Read More” and kick Mark Sanford once again. And of course, terminal Sanford Critic and good ole boy Jake Knotts (R-Lexington) was quick to hop on that bandwagon.
I have ALWAYS liked Glenn McConnell, ALWAYS supported Andre Bauer for State-wide office — but if this scenario proves to be true, I will fight tooth and nail, support opponents as much as I possibly can, and REFUSE to vote for them for statewide office if this is indeed the way the scenario plays out.
Of course, I am nobody in SC — not even a member of the Republican Party (They are too liberal — and they inflicted David Beasley on us, after all). But THIS kind of treachery...?!
Do you have special knowledge, or just your OPINION. I have seen nothing that leads me to believe he has done anything wrong. What do you know differect than what hs been reported? You seem willing to believe the OPINION of others. Don't let facts get in your way, though... It's probably alright with you to smear people.
A political smear is just rumors reported as facts. I've got a bridge I want to sell you...
That sounds like a legit explanation. Tell Sanford he needs to clear the air and name names then. If you don’t fight back, and kick the idiots in the teeth, then you lose.
Sanford's been considered a contender for the 2012 Republican Presidential nomination, has been a good, conservative governor, and has been getting good exposure, nationally, up to now, that is.
You've been spewing your own nonsense all day about this, and it's you who needs to man up and admit just who it is that you're shilling.
Romney, right? You Rombots are a sleazy lot.
You’ve proved time and again that you haven’t a clue what you’re talking about. Hell, you won’t even admit what state you’re from. So go crawl back in your bunny hole, close the lid and munch a carrot.
I don’t care where my governor was hiding. I don’t need a governor to function. You obviously do. So go find some governor’s ass to attach your lips and have a nice day.
The Lt. Governor could not reach the governor and has been saying on national television that the governors staff lied yesterday when it claimed to have reached the governor.
Today by late afternoon the wife said that she had still not heard from the governor.
Today the WSJ reported this about what was taking place over the weekend.
>South Carolina Law Enforcement Division Chief Reggie Lloyd, who oversees the governor’s security, raised alarms with high-ranking elected officials over the weekend, according to people familiar with the situation.<
The governor has let this story run through the nation for two days and will make his first appearence and his first effort to counter it tomorrow.
Fine, just let it play out. See where it goes. He’ll be a “nut” in the eyes of the very inattentive voting public.
LOL, yeah I've gone from being one of the original 'flying Imams' to being a Romney bot, that still doesn't explain this bizarre story with the disappearing governor.
I also suspect his wife may have fibbed about not knowing where he was.
State government needs to know the chain of command in an emergency and right now it looks like the state did not know that the governor had totally removed himself for a secret vacation off grid with his phone turned off.
Hope you’re paid by the word.

Says the guy that thinks that I am a Romney supporter. Do you think that Mitt Romney pays me for all the fine work I do for him here?
“And I’m gonna NAME NAMES.”
Go for it, preacher. I’ll back you 110%.
This whole episode made me think of the runaway bride Jennifer Wilbanks. I caught myself making the wrong comparison but I also felt the same strange feeling about the whole thing.
That pretty much sums it up. I can't believe people are defending him. It defies all logic. What he did was completely irresponsible.
I don't care if his wife and his staff knew where he was (which yet isn't clear). He has obligations to officials in the state for which he may have to be reached to fulfill. It's clear that people who needed to be able to reach him were unable. For that, there's no excuse.
You’ve been a one-note wonder all day long, and actually even yesterday, on this single issue. That sort of singular focus isn’t the hallmark of a casual interest in the subject.
