One very classy lady;if Gov. Sanford has any sense he will now make his mariage his number one priority.
“I felt it was important to look my sons in the eyes and maintain my dignity, self-respect, and my basic sense of right and wrong.”
Well, I could support this lady for President. Good grief, what a nightmare.
Her husband, I maintain, will not receive any political support from me. What a twit.
“public service”.
If you have a family then your spouse and family should all be able to put their faith and trust in you. Sanford's wife and family have not been able to trust him for a very long time.
If the most important people in your life, your spouse and children, if you have children, can't trust you, then why should I? That applies to everyone in my world: friends, family, people I do business with, work for or work for me, strangers and especially politicians.
Sanford may or may not be politically redeemable, but for now he's not electable.
damn, he musta known someone had the goods....he has enemies even in the GOP there I hear
anyhow that just makes my little gal from Alaska look that much sweeter and boy howdy she’s the cat’s pajamas already
btw, I’ll see yall later, I’m going to Santo Domingo to relax and get my head straight...someone here let my wife and kids know will ya?
How in the world he thought he could take a week off in Argentina and no one finding out blows my mind. He must have wigged out.
His chances at a presidential run are now zero, for good reason.
Another piece in the puzzle. Sanford was dead wrong to have an affair. But now we can see why his wife and kids didn’t know where he was — because his wife asked him not to contact them.
So those who attacked Sanford for “leaving the kids on Father’s day” were attacking him for the wrong reason.
And it also explains why he went down to Argentina, if the trial separation made him finally realise that he had to confront the other woman and tell her face-to-face that it was over.
So those who claim he went down their to sleep with her again may also have been very wrong, and have done Sanford a disservice.
Sanford must answer to God and his family for his actions. And his leaving without ensuring that whatever happened in his state was covered was a mistake, although we can now see why he felt it was important not to let people know what he was doing.
But even though it turned out some of the speculators here got lucky and guessed right in this case, in my opinion it was a very poor showing here on FR, but illustrating what has become all too often the norm here, people shooting off half-cocked without really taking the time to understand the situation.
He should resign, now.
Sorry Honey, I got no time for your meal ticket. Real men, conservative men can keep their zipper shut.
Go away.
Heh Mark,,,you and Maria get together, go off to New Zealand and have a great life. They will hound you til the day you die here. And don’t forget to pay your child support.
She’s got more balls that I do.
And I’m a guy.
hell yeah, if you let him loose, the floozy wins
ignore the dimwits with their kick him to the curb comments, your family’s well being has to come before pride and ego, he is only doing it with floozie because he is getting gray and impotent. She is doing it for the money, duh
He looks like one more little boy she has to mother - she really has five!
Beautiful children; beautiful family. May God bless and heal them.
Someone has been sitting on those emails since December. My guess is Sanford knew he was going to be exposed, confessed to his wife and she told him to break off. From the tone of the emails, these folks are pretty well off and that, plus the boys, was the determining factor to stay together.
We won’t be seeing them on the campaign trail...ever.
So- he had his second chance, and he went back to his mistress? In Argentina? Without telling his staff?
I say he’s toast!
OTOH, her husband is crazy out of his mind for the other woman. I'd cut him loose in a heart beat.
