There is something seriously wrong with the GOP and their supporters. These are the same people who criticized President Obama for taking his wife to NYC and Paris for dinner.

I’m not kidding. This Republican Party is creepy. The real family man is the one who leads by example, not by bragging and dictating to others how to live their lives like the right wing has been doing for years. We are all just human beings, trying to live as decent a life as possible. Why the republicans can’t get this concept is beyond me. They think they are perfect beings. Well, they’re not. What they are is - out to lunch.

Democrats make mistakes. Independents make mistakes. And now we know, so do the Republicans. Actually, we’ve always known this. It’s their supporters who “pretend” they are the party of family values and we’re all a bunch of sinners. This is the 21st Century, right? The dumbing down of America is now complete.

I have no problem with the Governor staying in his position. It’s none of my business. Just like everything else.

Oh and lest we forget LIE to your staff and citizens of your state about your whereabouts! But hey I’m a family values guy and there’s no way there going to find out… right??

From NBC's Mark Murray and Domenico Montanaro
Fighting back tears at a news conference he assembled, South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford (R) admitted that he had an affair with a woman living in Argentina. "I have been unfaithful to my wife," he said. "I hurt you all. I hurt my wife. I hurt my boys. And all I can say is I apologize."

LOL, lol, lol! I'll collect my bets now! Is this the season for affairs? WTF?!?. I guess he feels that all he has to do is join the ranks of the rest of the "special luncheon" crowd apologize and be done with it?

Each one of them need to resign. Didn't they hold impeachment hearings on Clinton? Didn't they hold him in "high" moral standards? Better yet...I'll take it back...they are being exposed and it's their own doing.

There will be more to come just wait. I'll bet there will be more to come. lol, lol, lol, lol...

In this all to familiar and almost predicatable outcome, it was not the 'softer' things of Gov. Sanford that landed him here, but rather the 'harder' things. {crass I know, but couldn't resist)

Hey Feisty, I'm not defending Sanford, but as I recall John Edwards and Elliot Spitzer are Democrats. This is not a Republican problem. This is a problem with politicians in general. Their egos are unchecked, and they think they can get away with anything.

If we instituted term limits, we could get these people out of office, before their egos grow to mountainous size, and we could always have public servants who serve the people, instead of themselves. The longer these people stay in office, the more corrupt and immoral they get.

John Edwards, the little priss and darling of the Dems until he cheated on his cancer-ridden wife. The Dems haven't accepted him back into the fold, at least not completely.

Will the conservatives accept Sanford back? Let's just say you can cross his name off the presidential ticket and he'll lose the next election.

That's what the tea-baggers are out there for today.

He should be kicked out as Governor, and kicked out of his home by his wife and children. He isn't sorry - and his apology is just another "word" with no real feeling or meaning in it. He's been caught and that's the reason for the "apology." How can he apologize to his wife and children, and his constiuents in his state and actually believe they are going to forgive him! Clinton did the same thing - and his wife stayed with him only because she wanted to continue to be "First Lady," she didn't give a damn about what Clinton did, as she knew he'd been doing it for years.
What a disgraceful position these men, Dems and Reps put America in, no wonder we have no value to anyone in the world. Disgusted and fed up with these men who think they can do anything they want to their country, their wives, their children. What an example he has set for the rest of the nation. He smells like three day old fish - wrap him in a newspaper and get rid of him. Who can ever believe him again. This kind of behavior doesn't stop, it goes on and on and on, and men keep saying, "I'm sorry. I apologize," and expect that is forgiveness from his family and his state and nation.

You guys are so funny. Only when it's a Republican is it ok to berate them for having an extramarital affair. I get the whole hypocrisy element you all love to spout off about. However, you guys really think that it's ok for Democrats to have extramarital affairs because, hey, at least they're not hypocritical about it? Please. Every single one of those politicians (whether there's a "D" or an "R" behind their name) uses their families (i.e., their wives/husbands and children) as assets on the campaign trail, and in doing so, they're sending the message that they are a normal, everyday family man/woman. And besides, why are we berating people for promoting family values in the first place? What's wrong with family values? Right is right, and wrong is wrong...that's really all there is to it. Regardless of what the comments here tend to say and the media tends to press, this is certainly NOT a partisan issue...but it's comical watching you all turn it into one. It just solidifies my belief that some people in this country can be so completely ridiculous at times...

On a side note, I love it how liberals are all about open dialogue and open-mindedness, but in reality, they are only open-minded when the person shares their views. If someone dares to speak a different viewpoint from theirs, they are persecuted. Case in point (however trivial): the now former Miss California. She gave her perspective on the gay marriage issue, and because it wasn't in line with the liberal viewpoint, she was criticized and called many despicable names. Why can't you liberals be open to what someone like her has to say, if you are actually about free speech and open dialogue? Just a thought...

Just for the record, I consider myself a left-leaning moderate...I grow less and less liberal with age and experience, but I have always seen the middle as ideal.

It would probably be more meaningful if it was a nice little distraction for Republicans. Sanford is not a terrible person for what he did. Reality is, he is flesh and the flesh is weak. The propensity to do what he did is within each of us to do, so in that regard he is no different than I.

What is different is the continual political and moral posturing that this party seems so found of doing. It was/is the words of the GOP that continue to from the noose...it is their ridiculous actions that continue to land their heads in it.

Okay, he can take a few days off and have the Lt. governor take over, but with some warning.

I have to feel sorry for his wife who knew nothing and didn't know where he was. I tell my wife where I am if I need to do something out of the ordinary. Does he still love his wife? How can he say that he loves her when he can't be there for her and their kids.

Well, I always knew this was a repugnant problem (one the Democrats unfortunatley tried as well - hopefully they won't again), this started being ok when we as a nation threw out a faithful husband who was a Baptist Sunday school teacher for a whoremonger with two living spouses - yep ronnie and nancy had a hot and heavy way before he left his first wife (my mom actually remembers this scandel and claims it is one of the reasons ronnie was never more than a "b" grade actor).
Both parties do it, both are wrong, but at least now the repugnants are being exposed too - as they should be.
Wonder if Ms. Sanford will actually stand up and do the right thing - remember that guy from Lousiana who said she would have done all kinds of things to her husband if he behaved like Bill Clinton? Well, she didn't did she? and we know that makes her just as guilty as he is.

===================================
I will tack on to this. There was nothing "alleged" about it. The media had very good tipoffs that this was happening and they refused to cover it until after the Iowa primary which was politically motivated.

So far as this is concerned I personally am not concerned with it as I'm not with any poltician. I expect it and as long as they are not lying in public about it it is not an issue.

Social conservatives are hypocrites a lot of the time. I am fiscally conservative but socially moderate. However the left telling people how to live is just as bad as the right telling people how to live. The left and the right have power and control as common bonds with their social policies.
