Governor Mark Sanford, SC Republican Convention

[hildegard1488]

No one can resist our charms! We are beautiful,cultured with European ancestry in my case German. He only was looking for an Evita!LMAO!BYE LOSERS!Don`t cry for me!jajaja!!!

[MtWhiteCld]

Does this guys wife have any self respect?

[Commonsenseification]

For a second in the very begging I thought he was going to say I spend last night cheating on my wife with an Argentinean boy and his mom. LOL

[Graymalkin2001]

"Yeah fuckface it's called a typo."

Proof of your mentality. Completely INCAPBLE of debate, instead you must resort to vitriolic, childish attacks.

Trying to have a discussion with the likes of you is like arguing with a cement block. I have no more time to waste with you. You are beyond all hope of carrying on an intelligent conversation.

Such defensive vitriol is indicative of one's fear of one's own weak positions, and weaker ability to express them intelligently.

[scouser691]

Fucking fat, fly over zone twat. By the way, it's spelled I N C A P A B L E, since you like to point out other folks mistakes. My point is genuine. I am much more forgiving of people who commits bad acts if they do not walk around with a holier than thou attitude. With few exceptions, the party that paints itself as the moral vanguard is the republican party. Defending the sanctity of marriage whilst cheating on their spouses (Sanford, Vitter, Ensign.

[scouser691]

Cont - Being a champion of anti gay legislation whilst cruising public restrooms for hot gay sex (Craig) Being a champion of legislation to protect minors from sexual predators whilst sexually harrassing underage boys (Mark Foley) Yep when it comes to mind boggling HYPOCRISY, our republican friends are light years ahead.

[dbmcmillan]

I don't see how your argument is really relevant. I think it is better to hold high standards and break them than to hold no standards at all. If someone says they are against infedelity, and yet cheat on their spouse, it obviously doesn't make infedelity right. Even if one is a hypocrit to their own beliefs, it doesn't mean their beliefs aren't worthwhile and that they should not promote those beliefs anyway. Would you be angry with a smoker who says smoking is bad?

[scouser691]

The subject being discussed here is the hypocrisy of the whole situation. I happen to believe that what Sanford did is a personal issue between him and his wife. Republicans need to do one of two things - Either shut their mouths about "family values" (Do you really think a man is not gonna cheat on his wife because vitter, ensign, craig and sanford tell them not to) or they can shoot their mouths of about moral values and actually live those beliefs.

[Graymalkin2001]

Or, for that matter, inviting teenage male aides to his apartment for drinks and blowjobs, a la Gerry Stubbs.

Difference between us? Simple: I see ALL such politicians - whether democrat or republican - as cretins unworthy of office. You, on the other hand, eternally, simplistically subjective, forgive the democrat cretins while condemning only the republicans.

You would truly do well to at least TRY to elevate your intellect by attempting objectivity, even at the cost of your blind bias.

[scouser691]

Wow you have to go back almost 30 years ey? You clearly do not know the meaning of the word hypocrisy. Commiting a bad act is NOT in itself HYPOCRISY. Hypocrisy would involve sitting on your self built throne whilst lecturing to others about a certain evil before going forth and commiting that very same evil. See actions of Vitter, Ensign, Sanford, Craig

[FelinityMithra]

this piece of trash needs to be impeached. i mean, leaving south carolina without leadership for a week is a clear cut sign he doesn't belong in anything relating to politics.

[jorge0214]

and right after this nonsense he runs to send an email to his whore of a mistress?

protect marriage!

saw no to republicans!

[smokeyvelvet42]

If he is made redundant, he could resort to lap dancing or booty shaking on the street corner for the homeless.  Back dat thang up !!!!! Take all his hyprocrit buddies with him, those other so called moral majority. Tell the truth and shame the devil .

[smokeyvelvet42]

A blantant liar and hypocrit, he was riding dirty trying to get some dip on the side, hey yowl an't nobody humping around, give me da boooo--tay. Again the one of the moral majority, preaching prudence, morality, two faced liar wants his cake and eat it too. Don't give up my job but would like a little extra marital curriculum on the side. I hope he gets verneral disease. She will give him something to think about for along time Rev. Jermiah Wright yo da man he was riding dirty yowl !!!!!!!

[loonmaniac]

"Thou shalt not commit adultery" (Exodus 20:14)

[schusterlehrling]

Mark,

mfile for divorce and marry your REAL love.

Quit the GOP and start fighting for MORAL values.

It is that easy.

[billjesusgates]

i can't blame mark sanford for this. latin women can and will make you do crazy things. the trick is not let them get their claws into you. they have powers over white men. i feel your pain, mark.

[IHA8YOUFOOL]

Buyforeign...you're a sick little shit aren't you. A sick, blind fucking Republicant sheep. You keep following this bunch of losers. Democrats wouldn't want you contaminating them with you asinine form of thought.

Hahahahaha....Republicants, what a bunch of morons!

[schusterlehrling]

Why did he step down?

Uf he has a new love, he should face the music and file for divorce.

No need to give up the office he was elected.

Did the people of SC marry him? No.

So that is a private matter, and should not lead to a resignation, but to a divorce.

[IHA8YOUFOOL]

He needs to step down because he FAILED in his duties to EFFECTIVELY preform his duties as a governor of the State of South Carolina. He did that when he LEFT, to parts undisclosed for FIVE FUCKING DAYS.

That's why he should step down. That's why it is no longer a private issue. And he is a bad Governor. While he was out getting his knob polished he refused much needed financial to get his state and it's constituents the help his state and EVERY sate needs thanks to the BUSH/Cheney fuck ups!

[laleeloolelo]

He should step down not (Only) because of his affair but because he was AWOL from his job as Governor for days.

[schusterlehrling]

Well, he was on vacation.

Reagan made vacations on 36 week in some years, so that is no problem.

[HSOUIXZ]

To Buyforeign

So you're really asking when Elizabeth Edwards, (whom you described as a slut) will die. That's what you get from Sanford's "Re-Charging" of his batteries affair??? That's your question?

You see...Buyforeign, YOU are the reason that every sperm is not sacred and every egg does not need to be fertilized.

Now the world has to suffer your presence because someone (your inbred parents) didn't have the common sense to use contraception or abort your dumb ass!

Contraception: Use it!

[HSOUIXZ]

This is just way tooooooo ironic. These Republican followers are so damned OBTUSE.

They want to believe so badly that you can tell them anything as long as you cloak it in Biblical paraphrases, and punctuate it with JESUS CHRIST. Then it becomes a fact. This lying basTURD denied his State and it's constituents of much needed Federal Stimulus dollars on the grounds of MORAL SUPERIORITY while he was out getting his penis polished. Or as he described it: "Re-charging" his batteries.

[oilhammer04]

Switch to the Democrats . . . . they will welcome you with open arms.

[AtlasShruggery]

Mark Sanford: another Family Values Republican. Has anyone at Faux News painted him as a victim yet?

[jacknuts22]

This just in: largest Argentinian newspaper reveals the identity of Governor Stanford's LITTLE SLUT WHORE.

Name: Maria Belen Shapur

Age: 43 years old

Marital status: Divorced - 2 children

Lives in Buenos Aires in an upper middle class neighborhood.

[dvonh2]

Ben Franklin would be appalled that you used his words on the Republic for the purpose of a political party. Study up on George Washington on the subject of factions, douchebag. And also, stop saying "y'all," you sound ridiculous. I'll have more respect for you if that Argentinian chick was at least hot

[jacknuts22]

Here we go with ANOTHER vile disgusting Republican hipocrite!

How do you conservative, right wing idiots feel now? Huh? You people are what brings America down. SCUMBAGS!!! HIPOCRITES!!! LIARS!!!

Keep it up you fucking losers. You'll never see office again!

[Questfortruth86]

You people are fucking dirt bags, shut the fuck up.

[Graymalkin2001]

Some of you are showing your bias rather blatantly.

How about this: it doesn't matter whether a politician is democrat or republican, right is right, and wrong is wrong.

Not "okay is it's Stubbs, but deplorable if it's Foley." Not "nobody's business but Bill Clinton's who he screwed, but fair game if it's Mark Sanford."

No hypocrisy, no double standards, no bias.

It's called OBJECTIVITY, kiddies.

Try it sometime.

[scouser691]

The real hypocrist is when you speak of moral values, traditional values and defending the sacred institution of marriage like republicans David Vitter, Larry craig, John Ensign and Sanford did. That is hypocrisy in its gloriously purest form.

[scouser691]

Correction :Hypocrisy

[Graymalkin2001]

Typical liberal.

You can even take a statement on OBJECTIVITY and interject hate. You people are amazing.

There is every bit as much HYPOCRISY and HATRED amongst democrats as republicans. The HYPOCRISY is that you deny your own!

PS:

What the hell is "hypocrist"?

If YOU are looking for moral high ground, keep looking!

[scouser691]

Yeah fuckface it's called a typo. Notice how the T and Y are next to each other on the keyboard or am I going over your head here. The real fucking hypocrites here are the party of traditional moral value, the vanguards of traditional marriage, the ultra, mega, moral value party soldiers such as Vitter, Craig, Ensign and Sanford.

[scouser691]

If you keep your mouth shut, no one will accuse you of being a hypocrite. However when you ram your moral values down other peoples throats and then get caught with your pants down, you look like the worlds biggest hypocrite.

[scouser691]

Republicans are breathing a sigh of relief. At least this married asshole wasn't caught cruising mens bathrooms for hot gay sex after tirelessy working to pass "Defense of Marriage Act" and opposing expanding the federal hate crimes law to cover offenses motivated by anti-gay bias, ala Larry Craig

[scouser691]

"Just another republican with a conservative mind and a liberal penis"

I love it. Seriously thank god we have the ultra mega moral republican party (Craig Ensign, Sanford) to defend the sacred institution of marriage

[EAStronghold]

Hey Mark how's the girls in Argentina? Can you give me some tips?

[mediamadman747]

CNN reported Sanford's cell phone service the last several days was spotty, at best. I guess now it's safe to assume he was in a "head" zone.

[Atomsmasher777]

Another phony Republican eats it.

At least the Republican party doesn't have to try to explain away another "Larry Craig" or "Mark Foley"...LOL

[4lx123]

Puritanical Religicans love to preach.

[LimeCrazy6]

Don't cry for me Argentina.

[imtrueblue2007]

YOU ARE A SLEAZE BAG!!!  RESIGN Hypocrite pig !!!! You disgust me.

[itsoverforuman]

See.These guys got it made. A wife, kids, money and they're still not satisfied. Goes to show you, The flesh is weak.

[CazK88]

AMEN!

[viavashti]

bill clinton did it too,. so all men do it ! u idiots

[CazK88]

Statistically, the Republicans aren't satisfied more.

[SukiNeDermo]

Yes, junior, we ALL fuck around on our wives, or want to. Thanks chief; as if women weren't flakey around men to begin with.

It ISN'T true: some have character, some don't. Don't trot out the "we gotta squirt our seed far and wide" social Darwinist bullshit. Only narcissists make that excuse to absolve themselves.

[TheLizardKing1967]

You didn't hurt anyone but the dear people of South Carolina. You are a complete and utter disgrace to our state. Shame on you Mark Sanford!!

[SukiNeDermo]

Cunt Hunter!!! I KNEW it!!

[scannon1111]

He is a typical republican cheating lying hypocrite

[cartmanfan0316]

Well, at least it was with a woman. Remember: Clinton (D), McGreevey (D), & Spitzer (D). No excuses, but Sanford never really preched social conservatism like the rest of the Neoconservatives.

Rand Paul 2010 & Ron Paul 2012

[SukiNeDermo]

God, don't tell me Ron Paul named his kid after Ayn Rand!

[cartmanfan0316]

No, Rand is short for 'Randal.' What's wrong with Ayn Rand?

[SukiNeDermo]

Her followers tend to be messianic, like Marxists; only they support corporate thuggery instead of government thuggery.

[nc69th]

Everyone has the right to go out of town every once in awhile alone and not tell anybody where your going. Being a Governor, Senator, or Congressman, or even President is no different. They have a right to go anywhere they please just to be alone. Hell if I had to run something as big as a state or country i'd go out alone every so often myself.

[ladylike1980]

nc69th,

He is the governor of South Carolina. He cut off his family and staff to be with his girlfriend in Argentina. Not good.

[SukiNeDermo]

Ironic that it's Utah which has the governor named "Huntsman"! ;) This is a guy who said he originally went to Argentina to hunt doves, as if he can't hunt doves in the US! This slimy weasel was on the cunt hunt, period! "I wanted to do something exotic", HEH HEH! I'll BET he took hunting gear: cologne, a bottle of Cialis and a box of ribbed-for-her-pleasures! But if he wants to uphold his Repub maverick credentials, he'll have to prove he had sex with another woman, not a gay boy toy!

[CazK88]

Cialis vs. Viagra? Why?

[SukiNeDermo]

Product loyalty, although unless you're looking for a marathon bang session they're essentially fungible goods.

[Alfie0779]

The only thing I know is that he was missing for 3 days saying he was going to to the appalachians and he ended up in Buenos Aires, Argentina, known to be a gay destination... C'mon governor, we know what's going on...

[mkl62]

So what if he "disappeared" for a few days. I would to if someone forced my hand. I hope Mark Sanford runs in 2012. He'll get this country back to the way it should be. Trent Lott was right. This country would be in a lot better shape today if Strom Thurmond had been elected president in 1948. It's Lyndon Johnson's fault that this country is in the shape it's in.

[GodChristLord]

Oh, just found out that governor disappeared for a few days; he also refused millions of dollars granted to S.C. for education from the federal government. SANFORD YOU ARE AN ASSHOLE! "F'n" Bast....

[greg58sean24]

He is a dumbass; who needs to be impeached! please support me and send me a message on facebook Greg McClanahan. we need to make a group to get him out!!!!

[azalori]

HE NEED BABY SITED.

[blist14ant]

sanford 2012

jindal is a crazy cristian

[imbabci2]

As he attended the Bilderberg meeting in June 2008, I want to see if he continues ties to this group.

see: watch?v=pNtuFERbbPY

[LetFreedomRing13]

Jindal / Sanford 2012!!

[frankiesmoo]

dumb and f*(kin DUMBER!!!

[thinkrevolution]

Screw Bobby Jindal.

That traitor voted for the 'Patriot' Act!

[chukmaty]

Ohh noez... not the act that successfully was implemented to protect this country!?!?!?!

My guess is that Sanford would have back the PZ to ;).

[thinkrevolution]

Haha.. to keep us safe. That's hilarious buddy. I guess you don't care much for Benjamin Franklin or anything our founders spoke about, huh?

Those who sacrifice Liberty for security deserve neither

[chukmaty]

Apparently you never read the federalist papers, James Madison, John Jay, etc.

Government, in maintaining law and liberty requires small limited powers from the people to function. You apparently never realized that, or you are an anarchist which the Founders would certainly disdain.

[Hobbes000]

Sanford 2012!

[mlmvh]

Nice speech, Gov. Sanford, but I'll never forget the fact that you attended the Bilderberg meeting.

[imbabci2]

See: watch?v=pNtuFERbbPY

Keeping an eye on him....

[gtadamni]

Mark Sanford 2012!!!

[PaleoConservative1]

The GOP needs Mark Sanford in 2012!

Sanford 2012!

[vlastic]

Q: "How would people survive without government support and protection?"

A: "Like free men, like free men."

[airborne373]

The answer to 1984 is 1776!

[cangeloc127]

Freedom from and for the individual human? South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford's reminders of history I find quite refreshing today. What is America about? The answer to that question might determine how this country proceeds this November.

[Dornicus]

I don't get the "branding" part, unless he intentionally meant to speak to the fact that politics is more about marketing than values anymore.

Glad he's reminding people of their history, though; that's always good.

[BrianMChampion]

He mentioned several brands as examples of organizations whose people and management are on the same page and who consistently implement the mission statement. He's NOT saying politics is only marketing. He's saying there's substance to what the GOP rank and file believe, and what we need to do is have the leadership aligned with those beliefs so that something consistent is exhibited and accomplished every day, and so the nation is able to see clearly what the GOP is really all about.

[speciallyblend]

lettertogop. com read it sign it and spread it, say no to socialism and fascism!!!

[Leads2YourSuccess]

he obviously doesn't believe what he just read if he is backing McCain as a surrogate for him in the MSM
