Well so much for my favorite politician in a decade. Maybe I’ll have to take another look at Palin...

I have serious doubts that RR cheated on Nancy. The press hated him and they would have dug it up.

I find it difficult to believe that story. Reagan? Ike? T. Roosevelt? I have my doubts. I certainly find it hard to believe it about Gerald Ford as well.

Me, too. Andrew Jackson ? John Adams ? Millard Filmopre ? Benjamin Harrison ? I think he was only president for 90 days, and spent most of them sick, then died.

That statement is sort of like the ones that state all those presidents were really gay...

Well, hey - he didn’t do anything that the impeached liar Clinton did. Remember how libs twisted themselves into pretzels to excuse Clinton? I sure do.

“Well, hey - he didn’t do anything that the impeached liar Clinton did. Remember how libs twisted themselves into pretzels to excuse Clinton? I sure do.”

Watch the way he handles himself as compared to Clinton, though.

First, Sanford admits to it, while Clinton lied about it- to a federal judge while under oath.

Second, Sanford admits his own weakness and tries his best to at least act like he humiliated his family. Clinton just says “everyone does it” (which certainly infuriated all of us who have never even thought of being unfaithful and just tries to bring everyone down to his level).

No, there is no comparison to be had.

He needs to resign. With Republicans like him, conservatives don't need enemies. So much for Sanford's pretense of being a devoted family man. The guy is a nutty sleazebag! The GOP Eliot Spitzer!

I was looking moer to the hypocritical excuse-making on the part of libs. Even NOW couldn’t bring themselves to to criticize a serial rapist. Disgusting.

The woman lived in Argentina, and as far as I can tell from reading the story, he hadn’t seen her in quite a while, and the trip this week was to break off the affair with her.

There is no indication yet that he saw her, between the time he told his wife, and now.

I’m not saying he didn’t go down to continue the affair, just that at this moment we don’t know that to be the case.

“But he won’t be president.”

The dem-fascists & 0bama are ticking them off as possible. Aren’t they.

Nor do I believe that either Bush had an affair while in office.

I doubt that Carter cheated on his wife either, except in his heart.

I understand and I agree to a point. But - the state run media had the goods on Edwards during the primaries, and decided to sit on the info for the betterment of the RAT party. Any negative press would have reflected badly on the whole party, even though his bid was a long shot. I was pointing out the obvious hypocracy of the media - not necessarily making a false equivalency.

It looks like you’re right. Fox is saying his wife asked him to leave two weeks earlier. I don’t know what to think.

So, did he make this trip on company time? If so it’s time to fire the bum.

Let’s face it this guy is a little wacko! Not many people—especially a governor would have the guts to leave the country and tell no one. Break up by email if that is what you are going to do.

He sounds a little unbalanced to me. No one in their right mind would think they would get away with something like this in this day and age. Even Jon of Jon and Kate plus eight couldn’t get away with it. He is sitting governor and his judgement should be in question. If I lived in South Carolina I would be embarrased for my state. I expect him to resign.
