The media has been trying to “get” Sanford for his affair for some time. They’ve had private emails of his (did they come from him, his mistress, or was his email hacked) for months.

Wrong, they weren't after him and the emails that weren't published until yesterday afternoon appear to have been sent by Maria and then not denied by Sanford when they were revealed to his office before publishing.

Arrogance that no one will bust you because you are so great? I knew when it first broke that Sanford was “out hiking and no one knows where he is” that this story would end badly.

That has been my feeling since Monday night, that this is an ego that is out of control.

Inexcusable, yes. Damaging to his state and family, yes. Does he deserve political destruction for it, yes.

So long as it serves the purposes of the marxists to achieve power. Marxists are so good at using our moral standards to destroy us politically. This is right out of Saul Alinksy’s playbook. Watch for this to happen more and more, until there are only an isolated handful of conservatives left.

It reminds me of the handful of Jedi left after the battle in Episode II. Weakened by diminished numbers; vulnerable and ripe for final extermination.

They've HAD the emails for months. They didn't print them until they could verify a likelihood of authenticity. Details from his weekend trip gave them sufficient “proof”.

Hillary was reportedly angry with Bill as in “How could you?”. Not “How could you cheat” but “How could you be so stupid as to get CAUGHT?”

I hope he resigns his governorship and skulks quietly into the night.

The pravda media will keep this story alive into the 2010 election cycle.

Meanwhile investigation into John Edwards' use of campaign money to hush his mistress is kept out of the press (the criminal investigation is underway by government but it's out of the news cycle).

This will be used to paint "Culture of Corruption II" on the GOP Party as the DNC-Media collusion of 2006 got Democrats control of Congress.

Geez, how could I forget to include Bill in this??? We just take it for granted that he’s a junkyard dog, so what do you expect? He was pretty bold about getting Monica transported to Florida and who knows where else. As I recall reporters were down there when he fell down the stairs and hurt himself.

Yep. And between the constant impugning of Sarah and the genuine dirt they found on these people, it sends a message to our side. King O and the SRM are very much in cahoots.

Possibly rat/rino operatives knew about this for a while and waited to spring it at the right time.

IRS Debt Did Not Stop Stanford from Donating Generously to Politicians

While accused billionaire fraudster R. Allen Stanford was showering pols with cash, he stiffed the IRS for over $100M.....In 2002-03, Stanford had enormous tax debts while campaign records show Stanford personally donated $100’s of $1000’s: $560K to Dem Sen Campaign Committee, $100K to Ntl Repub Cong Committee, $10K to Dem Cong Campaign Committee, $4K to Sen Schumer, $3K to Sen Dodd, $2K to Sen Shelby, $1K to Sen Reid.

After the tax lien was filed, Dems thanked Stanford at their 2008 Denver convention for $150K to sponsor a Dem n/p forum. Dem groups did not respond to ABC's inquiries. Dodd gave his to charity. Shelby's office returned donations to the Stanford Financial Group receiver. Sen. Reid intended to shed all funds from Stanford, his company and employees. Sen. Schumer did not respond.

============================================

Fraudster Stanford had links to fund run by Bidens
Reuters on Yahoo | 2/23/09 | BY Ajay Kamalakaran
(Excerpt) Read more at news.yahoo.com ... (Reuters) – A fund of hedge funds run by two members of VP Joe Biden's family was marketed exclusively by firms controlled by Texas financier Allen Stanford, charged by regulators with an $8 billion fraud, the Wall Street Journal said. The $50 million fund was jointly branded between the Bidens' Paradigm Global Advisors LLC and a Stanford Financial Group entity, and was known as the Paradigm Stanford Capital Management Core Alternative Fund, the paper said.

Stanford-related companies marketed the fund to investors and also invested about $2.7 million of their own money in the fund, the paper said, citing a lawyer for Paradigm.

Paradigm Global Advisors is owned through a holding company by the vice president's son, Hunter, and Joe Biden's brother, James, according to the paper. Paradigm's attorney, Marc LoPresti, who represents Hunter Biden and James Biden, as well as Paradigm, told the paper he did not know which Stanford entity invested the roughly $2.7 million. He told the paper the Bidens never met or communicated with Stanford.

(waiting for hysterical laughter to die down)

Keep in mind Obama put Biden in charge of the $2 trillion stimulus pkg.

===========================

So, taxpayers, y'all think you're gonna "speak out" about the billions in corruption brewing in Obamas's Porkulus and TARP? Better think again. Our saviour Obama KNOWS what y'all are thinking.

Here's the jaw-dropping policy the White House recently released late on a Saturday afternoon........hoping we would not notice:

"Following OMB’s review, the Obama Administration has decided to make a number of changes to the rules that we think make them even tougher on special interests and more focused on merits-based decision making. "

"First, we will expand the restriction on oral communications to cover all persons, not just federally registered lobbyists." " For the first time, we will reach contacts not only by registered lobbyists but also by unregistered ones, as well as anyone else exerting influence on the process.

We concluded this was necessary under the unique circumstances of the stimulus program. "
