Title: Why hasn't Mark Sanford Quit Yet?
Post by: Straw Man on August 11, 2009, 08:27:35 AM
He's more of a lame duck than Palin ever was and the ethics complaints keep piling up.

Doesn't he see that now it the time to "pass the ball so his team can score"

Maybe he never played basketball like Palin did so he doesn't understand these things

Hello, Mr. Edwards. Meet your new daughter!

has that been proven?

was his affair a proven fact during the campaign.

more to the point, shouldn't all governors quit when they have less than 2 years left

what's the point if hanging around when you can "pass the ball for victory"

This was a legit question until the "has the affair ever been proven". Straw he's been banging that chick for a long time. As for Sanford.....if he's been effective since the allegations then I guess thats up to the voters of South C. If he can't get anything done..he needs to step down. In my opinion he needed to step down immediatly.

The only concern I think is valid is: were there any abuses of his office while having the affair. I remember that being a question and don't know if that was resolved.  Anyway, if that's the case, then it's wrong and he should pay for it.  Other than that I don't really give a fuck about his affair.

QFT. If he abused his office and used taxpayer money for plane trips and the morning after pill, than I say he needs to be thrown out. But if it was just him bangin' some hot chick in S. America on his own dime...than he can stay if the voters want him to stay.

I don't recall Edwards admitting to the affair during the campaign.

I don't even think Sanford should quit because of the affair.  He should quit for lying to the public, misappropriating funds for personal use and mostly because the affair and aftermath have made him ineffective as a governor.

He needs to step down, not because he had an affair, but because he is the freakin governor of South Carolina and no one knew where he was for three days.

Have you been living on another planet or something? Republicans who screw up like this have resigned far more than Democrats who have screwed up. Mark Sanford is one of the rare ones.

senator larry craig, senator vitter come to mind as repubs who didn't resign.  Ensign didn't quit.  Neither did Sanford.  Have ANY repubs quit due to sex scandal in last 2-3 years?

Nothing.What was Sanford arrested for again?Frank was cencored and I believe he picked up a male  prostitute.Id say that along with the prostitution ring running out of his house certainly is as outrageous as ANYTHING that Sanford did.

These people dont resign.They think they are above reproach.

Post by: LurkerNoMore on August 13, 2009, 07:48:32 AM
Frank was acquitted of all charges. 

Let us not forget HOW exactly his fellow Congressmen and the rest of us learned about his situation in the first place?  How was that?  Oh right.... HE TOLD THEM.  No one had any idea.  He came forwarded and brought it out.

How many Repubs have come forward and done this?  Or do they just wait until they are caught?

sanford used govt resources for his fling, and left his state without leadership while disappearing, which is something governors are not allowed to do.

violated his job, period.  I could care less if he used govt $ to fly to argentina to play video games - he was derelict in his duties.

The most amazing thing about Sanford wasnt the affair,the dereliction of duties, or the lies.What was amazing is when he said "Im going to try to fall in love with my wife again".Can you imagine the fucking arrogance of that?I question her saninity to sit there and let this idiot,not only cheat on her but to say things like his skank is "my soul mate".

The guy is a real scum bag.If you cheat on your wife dont make it worse,or rub salt in the wound and say something like "Im going to try to fall in love with my wife again".Are you kidding me?If I was her Id say "Dont bother,Im fucking the postman".

I wouldn't call that arrogance. The rigors of life can drain any marriage. So, a man falling out of love, as it were, with his wife (or vice versa) is hardly a strange concept.

What I believe he meant was that he's trying to rediscover the things about her that made him want to make her Mrs. Sanford, in the first place.

As for calling the other woman his "soul mate", that's easy, too. The saying goes, "The grasser always looks greener on the other side". He doesn't go through the day-to-day things with her that he does with his wife.

There are marriages that survive adultery (ask the Clintons). Back in the day, people simply worked it out and stayed together, partially for the sake of the family.

I agree i think that youre not always going to be IN LOVE with your spouse but that doesnt mean you go have another relationship outside your marriage, you address the problem at home and deal with it accordingly.

AMEN TO THAT!!!

I simply said that to make the point that Sanford's claim to try and fall in love with his wife again isn't necessarily based on arrogance.

When the bills, the wife, and kids get on your nerves, any young fine-looking gal looks better than Mrs.

If Eric Benet can screw around on Halle Berry, nobody's safe.
