Not if the bastard is sliced, diced and tossed into the in-sink-erator ... metaphorically speaking.

Well, no question. Sanford is a jerk. He blew off his wife, his family, his political ambitions, his obligation to the voters, and his duty to the citizens of his state—for what?

And now, he’s got nothing. His just reward.

Yes these left-wing media perverts are getting a good laugh out of this. Hypocrites. Is Barney Frank more admirable than Sanford? Teddy Kennedy?

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

Too bad. He could have been a contender, and now he’s zilch.

All of this would make more sense if Sanford wasn’t a libertarian leaning Republican. He wasn’t constantly preaching about social issues.

The people that really do that with great abandon in SC are the RINOs. They yammer on and on about values and God and then, when elected, they buy into the notion that cow farts are ‘destroying the planet’.

Being a queer and running a queer brothel in your basement however does nothing to the dimwits value image because they never had any to start with.

Sanford's announcement also makes it harder for the national Republican Party to maintain credibility with the values voters who've been most loyal to it.

No it doesn't. Are there any conservatives out there saying "It's a private matter" And "It's only sex" as they did with Clinton? Nope.

Aw come on give ‘em a break...Sanford is an Episcopalian; and Ensign was one before becoming a Pentacostal Promise Keeper. So, after all, they belonged to a religion which doesn’t care much about depravity and sins of the flesh. How else can you explain an openly gay, sodomizing bishop for the Diocese of New Hampsire?
Gosh, they are being crusified here like they were real Christians or something. /s

*yawn*

The values that the GOP has committed to holding to is set. Someone tries to live them. They fail.

So, does that mean the values are flawed or the person trying to live them? It’s like a race. It has a start and a finish. Now, just because someone can’t finish it or violates the rules, does that mean the race is flawed?

Honor to God, honor in country, upholding morality, protection of the unborn, faithfulness to spouse, loyalty to family. These are good values worth honoring. These are good values that the GOP has decided to honor. And just because someone falls short of these doesn’t mean that we should now toss out those values.

These stories that pop up are silly because their purpose is to get the GOP for forsake their values and become as unprincipled, immoral and valueless as the DemocRAT brand.

Fast on the heels of an admitted affair by Nevada Sen. John Ensign—another emblem of the GOP's values brand—Sanford's announcement also makes it harder for the national Republican Party to maintain credibility with the values voters who've been most loyal to it.

Quite frankly, the GOP already lost their credibility, over their performance within the halls of the Capitol Building. Their conduct outside of the Capitol Building is only a visible sign of the misconduct within it.

Dan Gilgoff words playing the art of ‘rules for radicals’ like a skilled wordsmith, demonstrates his own perverse mind instead of making hay over the short comings of a ‘Republican’ governor.

This guy has no ‘values’ thus makes him the perfect hypocrite to ridicule the concept of ‘values’.

Oh, note this is NOT words to excuse the governor, but rather my observation of what a valueless words smith writes like.

I think the brand of family values still applies. Mr. Sanford sinned, he recognized his failings, he’s taking responsibility for what he did along with the repercussions that follow.

The libtard response would be, “Hey, what he does in his own free time is between him and his family”, or “What does this personal issue have to do with leading the State?.”

The family values tag doesn’t result in perfection of character. We are just as human, just as capable of failure as our libtard counter parts. We are not the party of certian anti-family issues as our libtard friends (such as gay marriage, abortion, etc.).

The GOP is nothing more than the Dem-lite party. It is time for form a Conservative Union with a platform that dictates removal from the party of any RINO types.

We are all sinners. Human nature is fallen. Just because someone sins does not mean that there is no sin. Spitzer and Edwards sinned as well. As someone once said, hypocrisy is the compliment vice pays to virtue. Conservatives endorse family values because they are morally correct, not because they can promise that they will never fall into sin or immorality.

the GOP's brand as the party of family values

It's hard to think of a worse group to embody or espouse family values than politicians. I'd be happy with a GOP that can claim to be the party of small government without getting more laughs than Don Rickles at a celebrity roast.
