Sanford admits he never hiked!

Foxnews ^

Trust nothing the media reports on Sanford or Palin. Nothing.

[Slapshot68]

Can you imagine if the POTUS decided to take a vacation where he dropped off the map from everyone including his/her family, then several stories surfaced as to the reasons, none of which check out yet?

Me either...steer clear of this guy.

I just woke up. I haven’t read anything but freepmail yet. Haven’t even had my morning tea. :-) I’ll get there.

You’re making the mistake that far too many conservatives make: The number one qualification needed for a candidate is to be ELECTABLE. The Democrats had a very, very electable POTUS candidate in 2008 (and a second reasonably electable candidate), and the Republicans didn’t. ELECTABLE has to come FIRST — no other qualifications should get one iota of attention until the electability screening has been passed. Way too much conservative energy is irretrievably wasted on fawning over unelectable candidates, and subsequently on wailing over the very predictable results.

Dropping off the map and completelty off of radar is the type of thing you can do in your 20’s......but not if you are a governor with ambitions to the WH.

Or maybe he just red the headline:

Aren’t you amazed at how many people there are who think this guy has to answer to them?

I guess they decided the hiking thing wasn’t a good excuse whenever the whole naked hiking came up.

If Sanford runs for higher office, someone might have pix of his 'cheeks'.

[Thermalseeker]

This is just smoke and mirrors by the MSM propagandists to deflect attention....

Bingo!

[Old Teufel Hunden]

To be fair, the whole hiking story was speculation by others. This is the first time we have heard from his own mouth about where he was. It sounds a little fishy, however if he took a cruise to Argentina I imagine that it should be easily verifiable. I mean, there can’t be that many cruises going on to Argentina during the week he was missing.

Even if he did this, my question would be why he didn’t take his wife. What’s up? Who goes on a cruise by themselves?

[Red in Blue PA]

Not even Foxnews????

[kabar]

Well, there went his political career.

BS. That's what the Dems and the MSM are hoping. They like to play whack-a-mole whenever any viable Rep candidate emerges.

[9YearLurker]

Palin has absolutely no record of hiding anything—or flaking out on her staff and state.

[rightwingextremist1776]

I doubt Obama has anything to do with it, other then needing the cover provided by his friends in the State run Media....

[battletank]

Most politicians have to answer to the people. At least they used to until they all became Kings.

Who cares....He’s a big boy....It’s kinda like a hamburg run without the press....

[TomGuy]

Who gives a crap? This is just smoke and mirrors by the MSM propagandists to deflect attention

Deflect attention AND dent any presidential aspirations he may have.

He's a Government official....He does! (at least to the people of his state)
