I think he should resign. It seems to me there should be some legality involved here, as our governor, an elected official, he just disappeared. He has an obligation to our state and he just shirked that responsibility.
He left Columbia 6/18 and the last signal from his cell phone was that day at 5:40PM and his phone was cut off for days. Our Lt Gov Andre Bauer was not advised that the Gov would be absent. Actually no one in governement was notified and even our SLED (South Carolina Law Enforcement Division) Chief confirmed on 6/20 Sanford's whereabouts was unknown.
When the national media became aware of our 'lost' governor, he caused his staffers to do a 'shuck & jive' number as they had no idea where he was either.
In recent years a large number of politicians have been caught with their pants down, tapping their feet in bathroom stalls or messing with underage pages. But these people didn't disappear for parts unknown leaving no one in charge during their absence. They did their deeds and kept on keeping on.
I don't care about his libedo demands, but I do hate to see his family hurt. He has a responsibility to the State of SC and disappearing is not part of the deal.
He was on vacation he didnt just disappear his chief of staff was able to get a hold of him
His chief of staff was able to get a hold of him
He told them he was going hiking he should have gone hiking but to say he should step down for taking a couple days vacation I think its a bit extreme if you said because he broke a vow to his wife I could understand that more
The only people to be answering this question should be the citizens of South Carolina. And I am sure they will. What do you think is really going on here? I don't think the whole truth of this story is out yet. Something smells like a skunk.
What's not going on here is his hike up the trail. I know you said that everyone should try it because it can be good for them, but this kind of hike should be avoided at all costs.
The skunk you may be smelling is possibly the new girlfriend blackmailing him...or that the newborn baby is on it's way.
The economy is bad, Americans losing their jobs, Americans losing their homes, Iran, NK , 2 wars and everything else going on but lets worry about a gov cheating on his wife . Yes it is terrible but darn it that man let me tell ya. Lets ignore all those americans they dont know how they are going to pay for food. That darn gov cheated on his wife. thats so much more important. Hey but wait guess it gives Palin a break for a while.
Yall seem more worried about his pants then his wife that put him out of the house 2 weeks ago. lol
I mean this is so pressing. Lets halt our lives for that
Yeah riiight...sounds like deflection to me. It sounds nice and would be believable if your CD actions heeded those words.
I hope you can come up with a better reason than that. I don't think he should resign either, but to refer back to Bill Clinton (a tendency that I know is difficult for some to resist) seems pretty weak.
