But the sooner he disappears off the public stage, the better.


I don’t think Sanford’s career is necessarily over. His wife is willing to forgive him, I think the voters might too. After all, Vitter is still in office, Larry Craig didn’t resign his seat, and Newt Gingrich still has some reputation among Republicans.

Sanford might be a contender again some day. Probably not in 2012, but perhaps in 2016 if the Repub candidate doesn’t win next election.

Sanford was a L Ron Paul clone.

Most of his supporters on FR and bloggers are third party loons.

The 1998 resolution to make regine change in Iraq the official policy of the U.S. , both L Ron Paul and Sanford
voted against it.

Sanford said “I don’t believe in preemptive war”

so typical of the libertarians and the Left.

There are getting to be a lot more of us ‘third party loons’ than you loyal Republicrats, so be nice.

I’ve read Liberty and Tyranny. I don’t agree with Levin on that at all.

I am Shocked

Unfortunately, it’s more like nightmares. You see, while you’re voting for big government Republicrats who yammer on about God and morals while voting to stop cow farts from ‘destroying the planet’, thus proving that they actually believe no such thing, the big government you are voting for is destroying all of our freedoms.

I hardly think I vote FOR republicrats, the Last president I voted For was Reagan, the rest of the elections I voted against the Commie.

I would have done a write in for Duncan Hunter until, Palin came to the ticket, so I voted for her and the old Commie, counting on him being less harm than Obama. I could have been wrong on that one, but he is pretty old, and I figured he would be a one termer at best.
