Exactly. Nobody here knew what was up for sure. What if it had been something like that ? When my father’s ex was diagnosed with terminal cancer, she got on a plane right after leaving from the doctor’s office and flew off to Hawaii. Would the apologies have come forth from all the people suspecting the worst if it turned out he had been similarly diagnosed ? I doubt it. I apologized to folks for being wrong about him with respect to his adultery, but I don’t apologize for defending against a lynch mob mentality. Even after the fact, way too many people around here taking a holier-than-thou attitude in continuing the attacks when they certainly aren’t entitled to it. People in glass houses, as they say...

You see, your job wasn't to "defend" him here or anywhere unless you are his wife or his personal aide... this is what is wrong with being a cheerleader, we loose sight of the forrest for the trees.... each potential candidate needs a hard, honest look... but when a candidate or potential candidate has a "problem" it is best to say nothing and wait for facts to come out and not start boxing with the whole world to defend what you don't know -- can't know. You know, I know, we ALL know there is a ton of DU trolls who come over here to stir things up and people up, I happen to think it's a waste of time to take the trolls on.

At any rate, Sanford always struck me as a good man, I was curious why he didn't really show interest in running last year, now we all know why. I actually felt a little sorry for him today, he is a man with very torn emotions... his head is one place, his heart another. Very sad.

“In which you refuted my statement Sanford had ended his career, by supposing he was probably on a trade mission.And generally lambasted other freepers for being able to recognize Sanford had shown poor political judgment”

You can’t even report my post accurately, please read it again.

We eat our own and make it impossible for them to recover.

My heartaches when I see how many of ours that have fallen over the years and the Liberal could care less about their morality image.

Convervatives seem to be stuck in the OT and forgot what Jesus said!

He that is without sin among you let him first cast a stone!

Jesus also said..

9 And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.

10 When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee?

11 She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.

When one repents and has sincere contrition and sins no more in this area who are we to continue to hold one to the cross?

If you don’t ask questions, you’ll never know the truth.

Your MSM conspiracy really just shrouded something you didn’t want to believe was true.

I’m not happy about what happened today, but I’m glad we found out about him before he was nominated our Presidential hopeful.

Probably been said somewhere in here, but I believe this is part of the obozo/rammed emmanuel/move-on moron types to destroy as much of the Republican party as possible. Coincidence that Sen. Ensign just admitted an affair, also? I think not. How many corrupt pubbies are waitng for a shoe to drop now? The marx-o-crat party types will not be reported no mattter what the ‘pubs come up with.

I already did apologize.

Do I think you wanted it to turn out like this ? I have no idea, I don’t know you. I do know there are people that were cheering on Sanford’s demise, because it removes another impediment to Slick Willard’s quest to buy the GOP nomination for President. This had a stench of the workings of his people all over it. They’re quite thrilled with this, and that makes me really sick. Sanford’s behavior has negative repercussions beyond just potentially ruining his own family, and I wish he had prayed about it and not done what he did.

“Take it from a wife’s perspective, sweetheart, if a husband doesn’t tell his wife and kids where he’s going - that’s a big problem.

I’m not taking the media’s word, I’m listening between the lines to what his wife has been quoted as saying.”

~~~~

Expressing the opinion above entitles you to this venomous and very personal attack ?

~~~

“To: MHGinTN

I sincerely pity the man who would be married to you ... you are more than willing to believe press rumors and the assertions of know Sanford enemies, to condemn and elevate your high holy self to revered status. You don’t know the details of his relationship with his wife and kids, whether he in fatc called to talk to them or was told in advance by them to enjoy hissolitutde, yet you relish the opportunity to lord your ‘understanding’ of family over us to tell us Governor Sanford is a bad husband and fialed father. You stealth libes are so transparent sometimes, even at FR!

Just reminding you of your words which were quite hurtful to me.

I’m now apprised and extremely disappointed to learn that about you.

There are certain protocols of civility between us one would hope could be expected here. That was an outright, unnecessary and purposely personal slam.

It’s not so hard to see why the conservative movement can be splintered, disjointed and dissembling into powerlessness if this occurs amongst ourselves on the #1 conservative site.

I hope you’ll think on it and reconsider.

What action were readily apparent? The allegations by the Ultra lib state legislature & state MSM & whacked out wife (Dawn Gibbons, who incidentally supported & had public meetings at the Governor's mansion w/ gay right leaders in pushing through the the domestic partnership bill that overrode our state constitution mandating marriage between a man & a woman?)

What question didn't I answer? Why Gibbons didn't run against Reid vs. a run for Governor? Perhaps you can refresh my memory, this aught to be good.

what I saw in his press conference is a man torn and in a lot of pain; he may have ended the affair this weekend, but in his heart I don’t think he ended it, looks to me like he was/is in love with a woman who is not his wife

I agree.

I would have preferred if I was wrong. I do a lot of political analysis work and this just didn’t make sense or feel right. It is a shame for his family that this had to happen but explains his wife’s comments.

I have absolutely no doubt they are being outed or outing themselves because of Rahm... he probably has PI’s on every single GOP politician digging for dirt...

My credibility is well-established and respected here, thank you. The only ones who hate and despise me are people that have worked for or supported Slick Willard, Huckster, or Gibbons of NV, many of whom have popped up on this very thread to attack me personally. They are no friends of the Conservative movement and I don’t apologize for standing up to them or to a lynch mob. I did apologize for being wrong about Sanford with respect to his behavior. When it’s out in the open, you can’t defend it, and I never tried to.

That doesn’t make any sense.

Face it, Sanford is a fake. The point stands.

I agree. This weak fool needs to be gone ASAP so we can begin the task of finding someone of better character.

No, it had a stench of a man cheating on his wife. You're doing exactly what you were claiming the media, some freepers of doing. You were acting like part of a lynch mob.
