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."
Seriously what is the flaw with these politicians? Are they so wrapped up in themselves that they can no longer understand the basic right and wrong of life?
It is indicative of the type of people our political system caters toward and encourages to be part of.
We need people of good moral standing that have a moral compass that actually works. Sanford should be wholly rebuked and thrown on the trash heap with the rest of the miscreants.
He had an important role to play and this is how he mans up to the challenge? He couldn’t keep it in his pants for the good of the country? It is no wonder why our country is having the problems we are....
VOTE THEM ALL OUT!!! Time for a true conservative party that supports the Constitution - NOW IS THE TIME!!!
Yawn..... Wake me up there is a love child involved and misappropriation of campaign funds to keep the tart quiet.
I hope he was not disappointed and it was worth it. That being said, women throw themselves at men with power. It takes a strong, principled man to resist temptation.
That is why many preachers get caught with their pants down.
I never knew much about him. What I did know, I liked. But at the same time, I had a feeling he wasnt all there.
Well whaddya know....
Great, one less opponent for Obama. These guys need to separate or divorce from their wives FIRST....
The new thread should have been: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2278531/posts
The moderator put in some moderator only page I think.
Well, now the guy’s toast.
Bub-bye, Mark, it’s been nice to know you.
Yes, it is an amazing conspiracy with Obama and the MSM forcing the governor onto a flight to Argentina and and forcing him to bed down with another woman on Father's Day as his wife in children waited at home wondering.
He wanted “exotic”. The only question is if it was an exotic man or a woman.
Ya know, maybe more will realize that the Hunter’s, both of them, are the right kind moral men that we need running our party and this country.
I will quit voting for guys who spout family values.
I’ve had enough of these hypocrites.
Man bites dog tabloid crap right next to Jon and Kate and Jessica Simpson’s balloon like breasts, this story is a snoozer. Not following you on how this benefits Obama. Sanford was back bench guy in the GOP who got famous the last couple of months for not taking the liberal’s crap. Whatever, the media and Robert Gibbs wanna obsess on this, let them do this at their own peril with 2010 coming and they become the party of Perez Hilton while the economy tanks even further.
The MSM will make this the focus, even when people die in the streets of Iran, and Obama takes over industry.
You're blaming his wife??????
My wife and the other woman ironically enough. I was very lucky at that lonely time in my life. Also God just wouldn’t give up. Little events kept happening to get me on the right track. Now I’m blessed with two more boys and I’m more content with my family life than ever before.
The grass is always greener. It’s NOT.
No skirt chasing, no double dealing, no RINO tendencies, no deer in the headlight answers. Just pure unadulterated conservatism
What is it with some people!!! They will throw it all away for a piece of ass, lust, etc....... I hope this woman was worth it for him.
