Sanford is recruiting candidates to run in GOP primaries against the GOP sponsors of impeachment

Disgraced S.C. Gov. Mark Sanford is aggressively recruiting candidates to run in Republican primaries against the GOP sponsors of an impeachment resolution against him, sources tell FITS. In targeting these lawmakers – including one who has supported his policies in the past – the governor is said to be “sending a message” to other Republicans who might be contemplating joining the effort to impeach him.

“It’s saying ‘back off,’” one lawmaker familiar with the governor’s recruitment efforts told FITS, noting that Sanford still has a sizable political war chest at his disposal.

I have no idea how far this will get.

Lest you think this is just gossip, in 2006 Sanford recruited GOP opponents for GOP legislators who opposed his policies. He seriously went after these people in his own party. A foreshadowing of today's events? He succeeded in one way. He made senior members of the Legislature his mortal enemies. The GOP establishment would as soon spit on him rather than pass anything he wanted. (Sen.Jake Knotts would like him drawn and quartered probably)

If you are wondering why they have dragged in impeaching him, it has to do with a several things:
One involves the race for Governor in 2010. Nobody wants to give anybody an advantage such as the lt. governor.
The second is Sanford's vow to fight this to the death. Whether they succeed or not, his lawyers will try to tie up any and all measures in the courts.
Thirdly, the legislature doesn't want to spend this session wasting all their time on a political nonentity. He deserves impeachment, but he would like nothing better than tying the lege up forever. He has enough allies still willing to try this.

6. He is a sneaky

little mutha. He is 'splainin' on the one hand and sneakin' on the other.

However, this time people are wise to his moves. He might be smart not to tangle with them again in any fashion. They may be loathe to impeach him, but they will gladly beat him and his recruits into a mangled mess. I wouldn't want to go after those good ol' boys who will be laying in wait.

However, I needn't fear. Smart is not on his agenda apparently.

He should make sure he has enough holes dug to bury all of his minions.}(

From what's been said about him, he's realllll cheap, HOWEVER, he's spending the Taxpaper's of South Carolina money so her gift is probally expensive....But look folk's that relationship will be short lived. What an EMBARASSMENT to the State of South Carolina this man is-Going outside his marriage to get a PIECE of Ass and thinking he's found the love of his life (soulmate), Acting like an inexperience teenager lusting.DUM Fool does'nt have the Brain of a horse to know he is definitly not her soulmate. This Maria Chick was involved with another man when Sanford became entangled with her and how did all those emails manage to find their way straight to a South Carolina Newspaper- Maria of course(Only a DAM idiot would buy that "my computer was hacked into on whatever date she Mention Bullshit"). An experience Computer person can tell you it take a while to know exact dates and times of such an event..She is a liar just like her bullshit boyfriend. SANFORD should first of Preach his Bible bullshit after he step down and get out town. Then work on getting his personal life together.:+ :+ :+ What a dam clown
