This is getting weirder!!

Yeah but he’s good for a couple of laughs a week!
Let's get real here. The Governor is not like the President. He doesn't have the nuclear football and must be available at a moment's notice. Sanford was hours away from SC. He could easily respond to any emergencies. All governors travel around the US and overseas.
there are people here that are clearly dissapointed. But they need to be ticked off at the irresponsibility.
Next, please.
Morning Fix: Sorting out Sanford
And I'm still shrugging. We're playing "Where's Sanford". And I never liked "Where's Waldo". Because it doesn't matter until they show he did something he shouldn't. I don't know where the other 49 Governors were either. Because their enemies didn't make it an issue.
That is why they have a Lt Gov. By the way, Sanford’s number two is the loudest critic of this episode. Eventhough they are both Pubbies, Bauer is a political rival and enemy. If the actual facts ever come out I bet his wife knew what he was up to but didn’t want to reveal it to a nosy press and self righteous public. One final thought; voters don’t own elected officials.
Sanford admits he never hiked!
............................
And Clinton swore he never inhaled....or had sex with “that woman”.....
If this is true then it's serious. We'll have to see how this turns out but it sure is a PR nightmare at best. I sure hope he didn't have his head stuck where it should not have been over this.
“I’m fed up with the lies and IDIOT so-called FReepers who jump to the side of the leftist media when these NON-stories pop up smearing our best and brightest.”
I’m fed up with people who assume because you call into question someone’s actions on the right, that you’re purposely siding with the media.
Sanford may have had his reasons and they may have merit, but the way it was handled so far hasn’t been very presidential.
The story, apparently, is that he went "cruising" in his CAR, not on a ship. Some left-wing "reporter" probably threw in the phrase "cruising in his car" to make people THINK he was out looking for guys.
This goes beyond "needing a little time alone to recharge". What if a major city in SC would have been wiped out by a tornado? Or other disaster. Who besides the Gov has the authority to deploy the resources needed for immediate relief?
I have just taken him off my potential 2012 support list. Even if he has a benign reason for leaving, he left without transferring his responsibilities. That is inforgivable, and extremely irresponsible!
A guy who storms out on his like that leaving her with the 4 kids for a week—which I think an improbable motivation anyway—isn’t someone the Pubbies should be backing for president.
There’s no proof there WAS any irresponsibility. This entire thing is a NON-story by the media out to destroy opponents of the fascist regime in DC.
stay focused on the ball and forget the freak shows
excellent analysis.
The best thing that could possibly happen is that all government officials just disappear.
So did the Dems and look what happened.”
Hey, here is a campaign slogan:
“Our pathetic candidate is better than yours”
Oh wait, that didn't work last year.
ABAML. anybody but a marxist liberal
I dunno. Am I wrong to be criticial, here?
Can’t you just imagine the cracks we’d be making if it were a Dem gov doing such a thing?
Quite honestly, I’m embarassed. And I am disappointed that his judgment was so crappy.
I have to agree with you there. I was watching Morning Joe this morning & Chrissy Matthews was talking about this story. He had his usual psychotic $hit-eating grin on his face & said - look at the Republican presidential field, Palin, Sanford & Jindal - what a bunch!
The media is deliberately going after these guys, to eliminate them in 2012. I'm withholding judgment on this Sanford story for now. I smell a rat.
