No, it's not. As much as I despise Obama and everything he stands for, this is not about him. It is about Mark Sanford, cheating on his wife, having his staff lie about where he's at, and getting caught in an incredibly stupid attempt to cover it up.
I was leaning towards Sanford in 2012, but not now. Not sure who I'll go with, but it looks like the serious contenders now are DeMint, Palin, and possibly Jindal.
A couple of things I'd like to say as general comments to the thread, too: 1) For all the yahoos out there who want to use this to "prove" that "all" Republicans are hypocrites, and this is why we should vote for your worth nothing little third party - get bent. Chances are any one of you could do the same thing as Sanford did, if you were put into the wrong circumstances with the wrong (spiritual) heart condition.
2) For all you folks out there who think the argument that "what they do in their personal life is their business, not ours, so it doesn't matter" is a good argument, you need to get your head checked. It DOES matter. If we can't trust a man to be faithful to the vows he made to his OWN WIFE, why do you think he'd keep his trust with a bunch of people he doesn't even know?
Yes....FR’s trolls always spout the propaganda that a Republican’s sex drive must force us all to support a Democrat!
He was not “cheating on his wife” because he was, as I understand it, separated from her. This removed 90% of the air from this story. And while I do not in any way condone anyone having an affair with someone who is married, I was speaking of the relativity of the importance of this story in which there may be 1 or 2 possible victims versus what is happening on the world stage where the potential for danger would involve MILLIONS of victims.
The priorities of the liberal media are screwed up beyond belief.
