Sanford Lied to his State as to where he was. That does Not make him Honest nor a "Man"!

[FrenchieCat]

Now, he is seen as being honest by the media talking heads and their spin?

I've not seen this kind of instantaneous rehabilitation ever! :wtf:

He's busy fucking on Father's day, someone other the the mother of his children,
and it's all good? :wow:

[FrenchieCat]

1. In otherwords, the media is full of shit!

Bill Clinton gets impeached,
and this guy is a man.

They both cheated and they both lied initially.
I don't see the difference.

Why does the media? :shrug:

[Political Tiger]

3. Agreed! n/t

[TimesSquareCowboy]

2. But he would have stuck to the lie if he hadn't gotten caught at the airport.

[xiamiam]

4. he got caught...or he wouldn't have been so courageous..what about the last 5 months?

what a bunch of media malarkey...

[Proud Liberal Dem]

5. He abandoned his family AND his official duties as Governor

What a stand-up guy (whoops! er.....man)!!!!
:sarcasm:

[vaberella]

6. Makes me sick!!! I hate the pundits. n/t

[demo dutch]

7. Well that's his problem, however lying to staff, leaving the country & leaving SC unattended is

the height of irresponsibility

[Uzybone]

8. Imagine if a black governor had done this

Imagine if Gov. Deval Patrick skipped the country to go fuck his mistress while his wife and 4 sons sat around on fathers day? We would have been seeing a million discussions about the prevalence of one parent homes and all that jazz.

9. Exactly! Imagine if a Democrat had done this..

Either something like this is the most horrible thing ever (enough to impeach a President, for God's sake!)...or not. They can't have it both ways. They're the ones who made people's personal lives in politics an issue..yet when it's one of their own, they want to change the rules of the game. Bullshit.

But like you said, either way, it didn't just involve Sanford's personal life this time; not only did he lie to the people of his state..he abandoned them and his responsbilities as Governor. Which in that sense, DOES make it their business. And I highly doubt he would've come forward if this hadn't caught such fire.

What hypocrites these people are!:mad:

[fedupinBushcountry]

10. Exactly

Was thinking the same as you when he was whining apologies. The man was just with the damn woman for 6 days, how stupid do they think we are. I mean come on. Sheeesh!!!

[MzShellG]

11. Look at how differently the Kwami Kilpatrick situation was handled. nt

[Cha]

12. jenny sanford asked him to leave two

weeks ago so he musta thought Father's Day was a good day to hit the road down Argentina way and leave his staff in the lurch with an Appalachian trail tale.

Statement from First Lady Jenny Sanford (asked husband to leave 2 weeks ago)
Source: Sun News

South Carolina's First Lady Jenny Sanford released the following statement Wednesday:

I would like to start by saying I love my husband and I believe I have put forth every effort possible to be the best wife I can be during our almost twenty years of marriage. As well, for the last fifteen years my husband has been fully engaged in public service to the citizens and taxpayers of this state and I have faithfully supported him in those efforts to the best of my ability. I have been and remain proud of his accomplishments and his service to this state.

I personally believe that the greatest legacy I will leave behind in this world is not the job I held on Wall Street, or the campaigns I managed for Mark, or the work I have done as First Lady or even the philanthropic activities in which I have been routinely engaged. Instead, the greatest legacy I will leave in this world is the character of the children I, or we, leave behind. It is for that reason that I deeply regret the recent actions of my husband Mark, and their potential damage to our children.

I believe wholeheartedly in the sanctity, dignity and importance of the institution of marriage. I believe that has been consistently reflected in my actions. When I found out about my husband's infidelity I worked immediately to first seek reconciliation through forgiveness, and then to work diligently to repair our marriage. We reached a point where I felt it was important to look my sons in the eyes and maintain my dignity, self-respect, and my basic sense of right and wrong. I therefore asked my husband to leave two weeks ago.

This trial separation was agreed to with the goal of ultimately strengthening our marriage. During this short separation it was agreed that Mark would not contact us. I kept this separation quiet out of respect of his public office and reputation, and in hopes of keeping our children from just this type of public exposure. Because of this separation, I did not know where he was in the past week.

I believe enduring love is primarily a commitment and an act of will, and for a marriage to be successful, that commitment must be reciprocal. I believe Mark has earned a chance to resurrect our marriage.

Psalm 127 states that sons are a gift from the Lord and children a reward from Him. I will continue to pour my energy into raising our sons to be honorable young men. I remain willing to forgive Mark completely for his indiscretions and to welcome him back, in time, if he continues to work toward reconciliation with a true spirit of humility and repentance.

This is a very painful time for us and I would humbly request now that members of the media respect the privacy of my boys and me as we struggle together to continue on with our lives and as I seek the wisdom of Solomon, the strength and patience of Job and the grace of God in helping to heal my family.

The "members of the media" are not only respecting her privacy they're covering up for the traveling adulterer from South Carolina.

Yep. Sanford and Senora were having their fling and it's all good because "at least he was being "honest." :eyes:

Oh, but wait! Faux News says he is a Democrat. :puke: :puke: :puke:
