The former three-term congressman and two-term governor saw his political career sidelined four years ago when he disappeared from the state only to return and confess to an extramarital affair with an Argentine woman to whom he is now engaged.

I find this appalling. The lack of personal ethics and morality is evident in our country's current direction.

Let us with caution indulge the supposition that morality can be maintained without religion. Reason and experience both forbid us to expect that national morality can prevail in exclusion of religious principle. - George Washington

What district did this bozo run in? Any state that keeps putting Lindsay Graham back in office really has gone to the dark side.

[DJ MacWoW]

I can only say that I'm surprised.

I'm not from SC btw. But I did defend this guy on FR until it was found that he was with his girlfriend.

There in D.C. he can claim to be out climbing the dome.

[DJ MacWoW]

In DC they “climb” other things. A GOP replacement for Teddy.

GOP replacement for Teddy

May well be DJ. I too am appalled this SC district has voted to do this to our nation. Heck ... no choice left for this district ... either a rat or another form of rat.

[Sioux-san]

You know, if we would just declare a moratorium on all future elections as well as any additional immigration, dissolve Congress and SCOTUS, impeach the Usurper, empty out all those buildings full of marxist Bureaucrats, and then move on to the State Legislatures that are not doing their proper job, what really would the productive citizen miss out on??? Would this country come to a grinding halt? I don’t think so.

[Mamzelle]

Ouch. Replacement for Teddy. So, it all starts, the taunts and the jeering. this will be good for days on Comedy Central.

frankly, I'll volunteer to write the material! I'm going to help elect Colbert.

[DJ MacWoW]

It’s sad. It wasn’t that long ago that this kind of scandal would have kept him from running again.

[no-to-illegals]

Full agreement DJ. Makes one think a new set of Dark Ages approaches.

Thomas Jefferson said : "The way to have safe government is not to trust it all to the one, but to divide it among the many, distributing to everyone exactly the functions in which he is competent....To let the National Government be entrusted with the defense of the nation, and its foreign and federal relations..... The State Governments with the Civil Rights, Laws, Police and administration of what concerns the State generally. The Counties with the local concerns, and each ward direct the interests within itself. It is by dividing and subdividing these Republics from the great national one down through all its subordinations until it ends in the administration of everyman's farm by himself, by placing under everyone what his own eye may superintend, that all will be done for the best."

DC has overreached itself by much more than a mile. This is the result of ignorant voters.

[DJ MacWoW]

He couldn’t be any worse.

Please Heavenly Father, avenge this heathen’s wife and family I ask in Jesus’ Holy Name.

We have staked the whole future of American civilization, not upon the power of government, far from it. We have staked the future of all our political institutions upon the capacity of mankind for self-government; upon the capacity of each and all of us to govern ourselves, to control ourselves, to sustain ourselves according to the Ten Commandments of God. James Madison

[no-to-illegals]

I have questions ... Are the citizens absolutely positive the election was honest? How would anyone find out if an election was not honest? Are there those so powerful as to manipulate and control an election to where there would be no integrity of an election and the people would be none the wiser to know? Then there is Stalin. Does America now have a much more entrenched Stalin than when Stalin was an ocean away?

[dadfly]

let the dem win if he’s the nominee.

[scrabblehack]

Tim Scott, wasn’t it? Maybe I’m missing your point.

[DJ MacWoW]

We know the liberals cheat and electronic machines make it easy but I don’t know about the GOP. I can’t believe that they are much more honest. I believe that honest elections are getting to be fewer. Add to that immoral and/or ignorant voters and we have our current situation.

[DJ MacWoW]

I was referring to immoral behavior. Sanford seems to have it down pat just like Dead Ted (Kennedy).

Amen DJ and am going off topic for a moment. Something strange with the number two recently today. The number two is showing up in several articles today. Wonder if a signal of some sort is being sent?
