Sanford Press Conference: Live Thread

[Mr Fuji]

I can’t help remembering something my sister used to say when Clinton was caught with Monica. She said “they all do it,” and at the time I didn’t believe her. I actually was foolish enough to think it was more a democrat issue, but I’m changing my mind. I’m disgusted with this guy.

I've recently come to this conclusion as well. I don't think it's strictly all men do this because we don't. I think it's about the type of people who are drawn into the political arena/power trip/ego thing.

Sanford tells Fox News that a local TV station knew about the affair months ago but decided not to air it.

I'd like to hear the story behind that decision...

[gramho12]

Thank you. I’ll take a bow and will be awaiting my prize (and not holding my breath)

[fatima]

Amen (((((Hugs)))))

“What relief you must feel!! I’m so, so, so happy for you!”

The thought of not being able to be there for your children is the worst thoughts that can go through your mind.

I knew since last Wedneday and I couldn’t say anything and ruin Fathers Day and my son played in a baseball All Star game...so I had to keep it to myself until Monday...Tuesday I found out they were mistaken about the nodule.

[RockinRight]

Oh, you mean so the democrats can win ALL THE TIME. Great idea.

[steveo]

It seemed like a really good idea at the time...

Me too.

[Puddleglum]

A__hole cheating on his wife over Father’s Day weekend, no less.

[RockinRight]

I still think Jindal is the guy...that “bad” speech from earlier this year is all but forgotten already.

...and you better believe that if the local TV station knew about it then the party handlers at the RNC and DNC knew as well.

[beandog]

A faithful spouse is what is missing.

[Puddleglum]

well-deserved vanity. Congrats on your good prognosis!

[gramho12]

Don’t ever, and I mean ever, underestimate the nastiness of the Chicago machine, along with the willing members of the press, to take down their opponents.

[retrokitten]

I second that. Plus, someone who cheats with you, will cheat on you.

[buccaneer81]

Haley Barbour just announced as Sanford’s replacement as head of the Republican Governor’s Association.

[Smogger]

And isn't it convenient that it comes in a week not good for Obama: Iran, economy, health care infomercial

People here are overreacting. It maybe a hit to the Republican base because we wanted to see Mark in a higher office, but let's face it. Outside of Republican circles Mark isn't even a blip on the radar screen. Rome is literally burning.

[RetSignman]

Thank you but I was apologizing for my behavior when I defended him.

I have been disappointed over the years by my party but I will no longer go out on the limb and defend any of them, Sanford was the last straw for me.

Re: “To: MadIsh32

He cheated on his wife. Idiot.

Are you having a bad day?

A relationship or a marriage takes two, and when something goes wrong, it takes two. I’m married and I’m a woman, btw.
