"Affairs of State must take precendence over the uhhhh, Affairs of State."

Just like d.c.’s mary-ann berry? Don’t these asshats have ANY brains? Sheesh!
Nope. People seem to absolutely celebrate corruption and evil these days. Maybe they figure that other people’s corruptness somehow exonerates their own.
You’ve got to ask, what is wrong with voters? And the jerks that will put this proven jerk into office are my neighbors. Makes you want to give up in the whole system. How will I be able to proudly say,” my representative is Mark Sandford, you know, the one who left up his wife and ran off with a Brazillian bimbo on our tax dollars?”
Most people are followers, easily fooled. It's always been that way throughout human history, and it will never change. Sanford is a slimeball, but he's a skilled politician and that makes a great deal of difference. In the end if he winds up as our nominee (which is likely), I would vote for him over the Democrat - and I think most conservatives will make the same choice when that time comes.
We have a choice between Sanford and Steve Colbert’s sister. Since I take tremendous pride in the fact that I vote in every election, this is a no brainier to figure who I will vote for.
Like it or not, we know this scum bag and he is consistent. We have made our contribution to the US Senate by electing Tim Scott to this seat two years ago. (We love Tim Scott back home. He’s the real thing) Maybe trusting us with Sanford would be nice. Or else it’s Colbert’s liberal sister.
OK, his adultery aside, what were Sanford’s policies when he was governor of South Carolina?
I’d like to know where he stands on the following issues -— taxes, debt, Obamacare, balanced budget, abortion, gay marriage...
Lindsey Graham is one of his friends? That’s much more offensive than the affair with the Argentinian bimbo.
“what were Sanford’s policies when he was governor of South Carolina?”
He leans libertarian. I thought it was a good thing that he was running for congress until I read about the Lindsey Graham connection.
Not to mention his experience in international affairs.
In my opinion, Sanford talked the conservative talk but was not effective in walking the walk. He accomplished little and spent most of the time fighting with his own party that was in control of the legislature.
Assuming Sanford is the GOP nominee, the race is not an automatic win for Republicans. Charleston and Horry county are no longer rock ribbed conservative bastions and the adultery issue will hurt Sanford. Colbert will make it interesting.
"Affairs of State must take precendence over the uhhhh, Affairs of State."
"Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?"
LOL, no kidding.
Sanford's problem is between God, his wife and his family.
Maybe some here cannot forgive him, but before his personal failing, he was a pretty good conservate...even touted as a "rising star in the Republican party".
The problem here is that the R's get on their moral high horse and destroy candidates who otherwise would do a better "political" job than their D opponent.
Todd Aiken was destroyed for a dumb ass statement he made, apologized, but it was too late...and now we are stuck with Claire McCaskill for at least 6 more years.
Government these days is not church. It is populated with reprobates, all kinds of crooks, adulterers, womanizers, embezzlers, liers, and maybe worse.
I have given up on the majority of members of Congress being honorable, dignified people. I will take their personal failures if they will support maximum freedom for the rest of us.
I see that Sanford's D opponent is Steven Colberts sister, a liberal...She may be as pure as the driven snow...
...but she absolutely is not in favor of max freedom for the rest of us.
So I would have to go with Sanford with all his warts....but that's just me...
It is time to elect a new world leader, and only your vote counts. Here are the facts about the ONLY three leading candidates.
Candidate A - Associates with crooked politicians, and consults with astrologists. He’s had two Mistresses. He also chain smokes and drinks 8 to 10 martinis a day.
Candidate B - He was kicked out of office twice, sleeps until noon, used opium in college and drinks a quart of whiskey every evening.
Candidate C - He is a decorated war hero. He’s a vegetarian, doesn’t smoke, drinks an occasional beer and never cheated on his wife.
Which of these candidates would be your choice?
A = Reagan
B = Churchill
C = Hitler
Am I right?
You are right except for A.
A=Franklin D. Roosevelt
I realized that after I answered.
But be fair, Hitler wasn’t married. And Churchill was very devoted to Clementine.
