Why do people like this keep themselves in politics? Can't they get a real job and live out of the public eye?
I'm no Republican, but I can't help feeling that Mark Sanford is one of those guys that just fell in love with someone else. At least he got divorced and went to his new woman. I actually don't see him as a true hypocrite like many others - maybe the bar has just been set so low.
I say let him run. At the very least, the contest with his ex-wife should be a lot of fun.
It's really a shame that most only know Mark Sanford for the cheating scandal, he was actually a great governor. As a politician, he didn't participate in the games the establishment set up. For instance, in 2009 the state of South Carolina' s Employment Commission said they were going broke and needed more money. During this time Sanford was declining federal stimulus funding and looking to fix things from within the state. Sanford asked for a full record of all accounts from the commission. The Commissioner told Sanford that he had no right to the records! So naturally he told he Commissioner no. He went on a media tour talking about how the governor didn't care about the people and their benefits and how he didn't care about minorities, made a whole big stink of it. Needless to say that department, nor any others received additional funding until they got their accounts in order. He unearthed a lot of fraud and took a stand against the ridiculousness that ran the state in a classy way.
The guy has had multiple affairs and used public money to travel to his last mistress. He at first lied to say he used public money, then when found out was forced to pay it back. He also used state funds to fly in order to get haircuts. Apparently the party of "integrity and fiscal responsibility" elected him as the Chairman of the Republican Governors Association.
This man has no honor or integrity. It just shows what has become of the GOP to even hold him in their ranks, let alone put him into a position of power still after all this gross lapses in personal responsibility.
Hmm...I don't know about espousing "family values" but Republicans do consistently kick their trash to the curb.
How's Bill Clinton's popularity holding up among the party faithful?
Unlike the GOP, Democrats never ran on morality, after all the party is run by lawyers and pornographers and has been resolute in supporting reproductive freedom.
