South Carolina Gov. Admits Being "Unfaithful" to His Wife

FNC ^

[STARWISE]

In a stunning confession, South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford admitted Wednesday to being "unfaithful" to his wife during a press conference meant to account for his mysterious week-long absence. "I've let down a lot of people. That's the bottom line," he said. "I've been unfaithful to my wife." Sanford, who just returned from Argentina, said he developed a "relationship with what started out as a dear, dear friend from Argentina."

“...and I managed to to cheat on my wife.”

Did you intend to say that?

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

Thanks I’ll make note of that

[Patriotic1]

How terribly disappointing...

[roses of sharon]

Yes....FR’s trolls always spout the propaganda that a Republican’s sex drive must force us all to support a Democrat!

[Arizona Carolyn]

Sadly, third parties only help the democrats.

That would have been “NOT TO CHEAT ON MY WIFE!!!!”

Thanks....

You're welcome, I thought you might want to amend the record (particularly if your wife reads your posts).

If he were a D and it were a same-sex affair, it would be a career builder.

That's the truth. Just like it is in Hollywood. The sicker the perversion, the more 'positive' publicity and the more money they get per film.

I was not prepared for what he said in his press conference. I never saw it coming. What a big disappointment that was!

For 2012, there are retreads like Romney and Huckabee. For folks who want someone new there are Haley, Mitch Daniels of IN, or Pawlenty. I say let these folks be the sacfrical lamb agaisnt the Messiah in 2012. Then in 2016, we run Jindal and Palin.

Buenos Aires is one of the most beautiful cities in the world, with fantastic wine, the best steaks you will ever eat and amazingly beautiful women.

And when there, you should sample it all except for the women if you are married.

You're blaming his wife??????

maybe??

I don't know him, his wife or their situation...

its times like this though, that my small “L” libertarianism overtakes blind conservatism...mostly because I was not a fly on the wall in the governors mansion for what transpired, or did not transpire.....

after all Jefferson had Hemmings...Franklin had his bastard son and Washington was father of his country...maybe literally.

Heck if it was Crist of Graham it would be a queer encounter....at least this guy is (probably)a man

There is a facebook group for “Mark Sanford 2012” and people are leaving responses of disappointment. Link to another Facebook group:
“Romney / Sanford 2012
Romney: A Conservative Republican
A Strong America
Strong Military
Strong Families
Strong Economy’
Sanford:
_____________-A Libertarian Republican-____________

TRADITIONAL values
OPTIMISTIC outlook

Strong families...yup.

One comment: “He may not be finished but he has lost my confidence. He may win it back but it will be a long battle. If you can’t be trusted by your wife, why should I trust you as president? The libs are gonna eat this up. I am really blown away by this...I really thought he had more integrity than that.” (David L Johns)

Rio is a very close second.

[CAluvdubya]

sorry, I guess I figure if you don’t love your wife, then get a divorce. You don’t have to have an affair (or kill her, for the benefit of Scott Peterson). But don’t blame the wife for the husband’s affair...divorce is more honest.

[Vaquero]

I am not blaming the wife.

I honestly dont know the situation and neither do you.

[chickpundit]

“At least he didn’t have his wife on the stage with him looking stupid and giving him support.”

Yep, I’m glad he spared her that humiliation, at least. Of course, it’s possible she didn’t want any part of such an appearance.

HEY! I wanted Hunter in 2008!!!!!

IS he really going to run this time???

Last time his campaign just fizzled. I even contributed to him, but by the time the primaries were up in New Jersey, he had withdrawn so I voted for Romney. Don’t know much about DeMint.

[ZULU]

I LOVE Palin and Bachmann. Not onluy right plitically, but two living dolls. Would love to see them giving joint press conferences.

Duncan Hunter is a great man too. We have a few in the woodpile we can smoke out.

[ABQHispConservative]

No, but they may have something else on him and know that this will finish him. Besides, it’s just a thought. As more info comes out this whole mess will become clearer.
