You know why Sanford decided to run?
He was contacted by a bunch of his out of work hacks who were at loose ends after he finished his term (after we in SC begged him to quit!!). They wanted their phony political jobs back. They miss Washington.
So he ran, using his name recognition, knocking a *decent* man out of the running, conspiring with Democrats to jimmy the primary, because the Democrats thought they had a chance at the seat with a disgusting disgraced SOB like Sanford running. They know he's a loony tunes, and will sooner or later blow up again.
Don't give me any resume recitations. I know that Sanford can't do anything but run for office and chase cheap, lice-infested tail. He didn't serve in the military and he never ran a business. He married an heiress, she ran his campaigns, and now he's got a bunch a sickening flunkies who get a free ride to DC.
Bah. And, bah.
We need more Reps like him who can win elections.
