I’m a fan of Mark Sanford, because his voting record is impeccable. I don’t give a damn whether or not he got along with his wife or not. I’m not marrying the dude.

It's not about him "getting along" with his wife (although you have a very progressive view of adultery).

This is about a sitting governor abandoning his state and going missing for days without anyone knowing where he is. His contempt for the citizens who put him in that job was so complete that he couldn't be bothered to make one five-second phone call to the lieutenant governor to have him watch the store. That Sanford did all this so he could have an extramarital affair is almost beside the point; it's a matter of the public trust.

This is also about a governor who used public moneys to advance that extramarital affair. Again, the "why" of his corruption isn't nearly as important as the corruption itself.

But if you have no problem with any of that, congratulations. You obviously fit in perfectly with the state GOP. Honor, decency and integrity don't matter a whit, abusing public funds are fine and dandy, so long as he can win an election, right?

as he can win an election, right

I think Sanford will lose to the Democrat. A lot of Democrats must have went into the Republican primary to nominate Sanford, but they are no longer for him.
