Sanford once cited "moral legitimacy" when he was a congressman voting for President Bill Clinton's impeachment — and became a darling of fiscal conservatives over his ideological opposition to federal stimulus cash.

He now faces a host of legal and ethical questions. The state's top senator questioned whether Sanford broke the law when he disappeared for several days on trip to South America and didn't transfer power to the lieutenant governor.
This is really sad for the folks of SC....

Defense of Marriage Act:

Now we know......marriage is between one man and one woman and another woman in Argentina.

I dare the Republicans to try to say it is the gays who are threatening Marriage.....

The website TMZ has been digging, here is some of their report, sounds like two kids in heat....

Excerpt:

- Carlos Soto, the owner of Guido's Bar, says he's seen Sanford and Maria Belen Chapur there several times over the last few months -- most recently last week. Soto says they were "all over each other" last week in his bar, "kissing, holding hands and drinking wine." Soto was impressed with Maria, saying she has "un cuerpazo'" -- translation: a banging body.

And still the plot thickens.

Sanford flew to Argentina for a week in June of 2008 carrying on his affair, and doing it on the taxpayer's dime - actually more than $8,000.

Since this was disclosed, he has decided to reimburse the state.

Sanford met with mistress on taxpayer-funded trip - Sanford - The State

We now have him abandoning his post, cheating on his wife, leaving an email trail that his children will have difficulties living down, and charging the whole thing to South Carolina where he is supposed to be the chief steward of its resources.

Sorry, folks. It's not a partisan thing. Sanford is a crook, a cheat, and a liar. I simply cannot for the life of me figure out how anyone can defend or excuse such behavior from anyone. If he were in the private sector he would have been toast a week ago.

Hopefully he will disappear quietly, although Lt. Governor Andre Bauer has plenty of baggage himself having been caught speeding and let off with a warning after mentioning he might have a gun in the glove box. The next time he was stopped two months later he was going over 100 mph.

Anybody want a good used state? We'll let it go cheap.

“That has raised some very legitimate concerns and questions, and as such I am going to reimburse the state for the full cost of the Argentina leg of this trip."
Interesting...


Quote:
State Sen. Jake Knotts, R-Lexington, said he would call for an independent investigation by the State Law Enforcement Division into Sanford activities at a press conference tomorrow. Knotts said he wanted answers to a number of questions, including if Sanford used state money to visit the woman, how many times he visited Argentina, if he lied to staff and others.
Knotts said Sanford's pledge to repay the money rang hollow.


"That is not acceptable," Knotts said. "He used that trip in order to get to her."

Oh. Did he?

Shocked, I tell you! I'm shocked.

The left thinks if you speak about values and morality, then have a personal failing it's really, really, really bad.

But if you are some scumball, lech, woman abusing genius like fat old Billy, saddled with an ugly, piano legged, crabby wife, who wears the pantsuits in the family...well, gosh...THAT'S DIFFERENT!

He left alright, went straight to his lover.

Read the statement of Mrs. Sanford here.

Mrs. Sanford has a lot more class than Mr. Sanford, as do most of the wives of these disgraced politico's.
Who do you think leaked his personal emails?

Methinks it is the Mrs.

If not her, who? Who had that kind of access?

Clinton is an utter POS. He could have easily been blackmailed if that poor girl, and yes, she was a young girl...and intern in the White House...had gotten her feelings hurt and got under the wing of any number of evil people.

You on the left still defending that horrid man. And Hillary still riding his coat tails. Pathetic.
