  • LOL, I believe in liberty, but that can only be found in Christ Jesus, and nothing else- including politicians.

  • It's unfortunate that because of his personal indecretions that a viable libertarian political figure was destroyed. It proves that if you want to lead a controversial movement you'd better keep your skirts clean. He might have made a great,proliberty president. I'd rather have sexual cheat Mark Sandford any day over sexually viruous Barack Obama.

  • Not as bad a dude as the media would lead you to believe.

  • I'd bet the CIA dug up his skeletons and outed him the second they realized he may be a viable liberty candidate for president in 2012. They knew he would challenge the status quo. He understands markets thrive with less government interference and even spoke out against preemptive war.

  • FREEDOM !!!!

  • Sandford is a scum bag of the first order. You need your head examined....

  • Bill Clinton did the same shit, i now like this dude, cheating on your wife is family treason, but cheating the constitution is high treason! Or what do you think, I don't know much!

  • Who cares about his wife misstress personal life stuff? The man is a good executive. Re-elect him.

    I swear, if the religious right keeps holding people to account for cheating, then there wont be anymore republicans...everybody cheats almost.

  • I do think its highly immoral that he cheated on his wife but I also think he's good in his heart and deserves to be judged on his views and accomplishments and not his personal mistakes.

  • If you analyze it I believe the very heart and soul of conservatism is libertarianism. I think conservatism is really a misnomer just as liberalism is a misnomer for the liberals -- if we were back in the days of the Revolution, so-called conservatives today would be the Liberals and the liberals would be the Tories. The basis of conservatism is a desire for less government interference or less centralized authority or more individual freedom.

    - Ronald Reagan

  • Ronald Reagan wa a terroist, drug dealer and war criminal who should have been dragged into the street and shot like the dog he was. I'm sad his face won't be on Rushmore, it's too much of a pain to piss on his grave in Cali!

  • I'm so sad that his chances for 2012 are shot because of his situation. I really hope people can forgive him by then and he can still be a viable candidate. Is it possible?

  • I'd say leave him alone, too...but he was the one so shocked & flabbergasted that Clinton had an affair.

    Sure Lt Gov Bauer, who apparently is gay, would step in for him & probably make Lindsay Graham, who apparently gay, very happy -- but so what -- South Carolina is noted for their hypocrisy - constantly preaching against gays while electing them to office.

  • you know, Hairylegs has a point with his/her comment about "leaving Gov'r Sanford alone, that the temptation is great". Now if it was Lindsey Graham, well, women don't interest him, maybe a hot Latino man for that guy.

    still i would like to see a new governor, this one is broken and can't be fixed.....

  • Despite what Andre "Jeff Gordon" Bauer says, Mark Sanford will continue as governor of SC, whether anyone likes it or not. And by the way, the Confederate Flag is still flying and will continue to fly on the State House grounds. God Bless the Confederate States of America.

  • leave Sanford alone, man. If beautiful, exotic, latin women were all over you begging you to make love to them, I'm sure you would cave too. Who can resist that kind of temptation? He's just a guy.

  • I prefer to, but no one else does. As for Bauer, he ran red lights because he was late for a Senate meeting. He was also stopped on I-77 for speeding. He got out of it by telling the trooper that he was SC2. Hey, Andre, speed kills. Didn't you learn anything from Jim Morrison? At least Sanford had good taste. Monica Lewinsky? I think I'm gonna throw up. I mean, Bill, Hillary wasn't good enough for you?

  • i chuckle when someone has to bring up a politician from 'the other side' to 'defend' the agregious actions of thier politician. It reminds me of a small child, when caught with his or her hand in the candy jar, saying, "But, what about SAMMY? He ate a whole BAG OF CANDY, and you didn't whip HIM!!!!" BOO HOO HOO..... YOU GO mkl62 little one!!!  It'll be alright. Mommy will make it better little one!

  • Mark sanford is an evil bastard who thinks people in power are chosen by God and therefore they have a right to do anything they want including raping little kids.

  • Shut up

  • MrLibertarianAtheist I have my right to free speach. Besides it's true what I said.

  • You do have a right to free speech but you are making yourself look ignorant by saying that.

  • Look why don't you be a good little conservative and go bury your head back in the sand.

  • that's certainly not what libertarianism stands for..

  • and you are an ignorant bastard. Educate yourself before throwing shit up

  • I think you are the one who needs to finish highschool loser.

  • at least I will finish high school dumbass redneck

  • Thats right! Libertarians make better lovers :)

  • Lindsey is a Democrat in a Republican suit. He needs to switch to the party of the jackass! He is not friend to conservatives, but loves the illegal aliens and a leftist judge who will do more harm to the USA than even PrezBO will do, that is saying a lot!

  • The thing that pissed me off isn't that he cheated on his wife. I mean, yeah, it's a despicable thing to do. I heard or read somewhere that he tried to foist off his travel expenses relating to aforementioned tryst onto the backs of the taxpayer! What a dick.

  • Well he can't exactly run with the right wing "family Values" crowd anymore. Might as well switch to a libertarian. Although I doubt he's going to become liberal on abortion or gay rights any time soon. However I hear he wants to offer amnesty to adulter's now, including Mr. Clinton, so maybe there is hope for all of us.

  • hey look on the bright side! If the GOP goes the way of the whigs, the LP is the 3rd largest party in america right now. The LP could replace the GOP =)

  • Doncha love it when two wingnuts fight?

  • Yes, tard.

  • Comment removed

  • The issue is not the fact that he cheated on his wife. The issue is that he left the the state of SC without notifying his staff and without putting the Lt. Gov in charge of running the state. The fact that he is a conservative who are supposed to run on family value is icing on the cake. I guess this woman from Argentina was down with GOP.

  • This video probably got Sanford set up by the CFR and the Bilderberg Group. They knew he was a libertarian with a hope of being elected president. Just like JFK got shot after he exposed Secret Societies. I HATE ZIONISTS, BANKERS AND STUPID NEOCONS WHO THINK AMERICA'S WARS 'DEFEND OUR FREEDOM.' STAND UP TO THE FEDERAL RESERVE BANK AND ALL POLITICIANS WHO LICK ITS BOOTS NOW OR THE REPUBLIC IS LOST--PERIOD!

  • If we impeach him it will cost us more money I say we just make him pay a fee for his damage.

  • Who cares who he slept with. Stay out of his bedroom and he will stay out of yours. At least he supports keeping government out of your bedroom.

  • I don't CARE who he sleeps with! I care about his sense of entitlement and his sense of right and wrong! Morally bankrupt people do NOT care for others....and should not make up the majority of the body that writes LAWS. Why do we have ETHICS laws, if we wipe our asses on them? He SCREAMED about Clinton, and does the same thing for HIMSELF, and expects a "that's okay, buddy!" for it! If he LIVED by what he preached, he'd IMPEACH HIMSELF!!

  • Huh Y2k?

    You are clearly confused!

    guys like San-monkey, are ALL about what others do in their own bedrooms!!!!

  • i could care less you Mark Sanford sleeps with but when he uses our money to wine and dine it becomes our business. He has imposed a mandatory 40 furlough for state workers who are already underpaid all the while he is stealing the taxpayers dollers to see his mistress. He is not only cheating on his wife but cheating on every citizen in S.C.

  • How interesting it is that Conservatives are so fanatical about the "purity" of MARRIAGE when you have dorks like this guy who publicly embarrasses his wife by calling his mistress his "Soul Mate", leaves his 4 little kids alone of Father's Day to go screw his bimbo down south! A REAL "family values" guy! He also PAID back money, so he DID use public funds! Also lied like hell to his staff. What an ICON of MORAL FORTITUDE! He should step down! How can you trust him, or don't you care?

  • As a registered Independent, I can see this as a clear Republican FAIL.

    People are people, tides turn, whores in Argentina, a cigar in the oval office.

    A penis is a penis. It is evil, and its' only allegiance is to the vagina.

  • He admitted his affair to his wife after she found love letters and then ASKED HER if he could STILL go down to see his mistress! Don't you think that this gentleman has a little trouble with RIGHT AND WRONG? Why should he make policy for the rest of us? We deserve BETTER people than ourselves to lead and protect us, and by his actions, he is NOT what America needs right now. His credibility is done. He road Clinton hard because of his affair with the intern and voted for impeachment !

  • OOOps! I meant "rode"! WHERE was my spellcheck button??!!

  • The issue here is not his illicit affair, even though he voted to impeach President Clinton for the very same offense.

    The issue is his trustworthyness. He lied to his wife, his family, his friends, his staff, and the voting public that gave him the job of being the chief executive of SC.

    He used government vehicles in a deliberate attempt to hoodwink his constituents. He used public monies.

    It doesn't matter whether he'll pay it back. That doesn't negate the theft.

    IMPEACH NOW.

  • Comment removed

  • "The issue of lying is probably the biggest harm, if you will, to the system of Democratic government, representative government, because it undermines trust. And if you undermine trust in our system, you undermine everything." Mark Sanford.

  • Lovely man.  True man.

  • No one here can say that they havent done wrong, For God sakes! Give the man a break.

  • swiftkickintheass, the POINT is that HE did not give OTHERS a break.

  • So you think he should resign? People need to do a little introspective before they start slamming others.Sure.... I think you should walk the walk if your gonna talk the talk , But how many of us do ,Even though we know its the right thing to do

  • Didnt Jesus say, (He that is without sin cast the first stone) I dont care if you dont believe in God , This makes perfect scence

  • Another lying, hypocrite republican douche bag. He has made is claim to morality time and time again. And now this.

  • Gov Sanford...typical GOP hypocrite that preaches "Family & Religious Values", yet go out and cheat on his entire family. GOP - Party FULL of Hypocrites!

    R.I.P. GOP!

  • R E S I G N

    If it's wrong for Clinton, it's wrong for you.

  • Oh don't cry for me Argentina! However this guy apparently cried over an affiar he had in Argentina! Isn't it great that in the U.S.A. the actor from 'Leave it to Beaver' get to be the govenor?

  • Republican Sanford - 'rising star' - 'potential Presidential Candidate' - 'hope of millions'.

    AKA - scumbag, liar, irresponsible, useless, immoral, 'cheater'. Just the values that the Republicans like to promote.

  • Did you ENJOY YOUR WHORE IN ARGENTINA???

    Typical lying hypocrite Republican scumbag!

  • Fuck Graham, I'll never vote for him ever; he will never win. I don't care if he runs against the reincarnation of Marx himself (Obama).

  • It's no mystery, Lindsey Graham distanced himself from Libertarians because EVERYBODY KNOWS LIBERTARIANS ARE WACK-Os.

    Pretty simple.

  • ok dude. the reason our country is in the mess it's in is because a LACK of libertarian thinking. everyone else are wackos as far as im concerned. besides, graham is a fag who only believes in issues that he is told to believe in.

  • I also believe in Liberty that's why i have always supported the legalizing DRUGS and legalizing PROSTITUTION i'm sure Gov. SANFORD wouls support that.

    Bababooooey Everyone

  • It's not uncommon to not receive cell phone calls when you're in a "head" zone.

  • Sanford for President in 2012. Hey, it's not like this hasn't happened before. Look at Bill Clinton, not to mention John and Ted "I'm not an alcoholic" Kennedy. If I had to endure what he has endured recently, I'd "go off" to another country too. I'm sure my wife and kids would understand.

  • Sanford became a thorn in other's side.

    Could he have been framed?

    /watch?v=3WE9PT3rxUU

  • No - he followed his gonads you idiot!

  • Good God! How many of these do we have in our Senate, House & States?? Is it any wonder that we've got the problems that plague us? With morals like this all over the place, how can you trust these people to do an honorable job for us? I'm not a prude, but I think the people we elect should at LEAST curb their extracarricular crap until they're on their own time!

  • Sad but true there is an Msnbc article placing them all in this scandal category.

    From1974-To this recent political bad boy Badge of honor-

    The list is sickening.

  • But most of America is doing the same!

  • Excellent post.

    He has reasons fo file a divorce, but NO reason to resign from his office.

    This is the 21st century, and rhings like that happen.

    Do you quit your job, if you have a love affair?

    It makes no sense.

  • I entirely agree with you. He stands for the values of millions of people. So what if he cheated or lied to his wife! Big deal!!!!! This is how many live nowadays.

    So what if he is a scumbag in my/other eyes? Many voters are just the same.

    Sanford just reflects the values of people in today's world.

    He is a human, after all.

  • damn, sanford had a bright future and couldn't help wiggling his bean in some latin bush. sad.

  • They said he went away to "clear his head"; seem like he also went to clear his seminal vesicle as well.

  • I was thinking "which head?"

  • Sanford just took a "walk in the woods" and nobody knew where he was for DAYS! Anybody else think that's a little WIERD???

  • More like a run through the hot wet jungle, as it turned out! ;)

  • Dream Ticket:

    Ron Paul-Mark Sanford 2012

  • Mark Sanford is a great defender of liberty. He help shoot down Real ID. We have an amendment to our state constitution that states that we will never adopt the Real ID in SC. Go Sanford!!

  • Sanford may be the nominee in 2012, go Mark!

  • I am a gay/libertarian who supported Ron Paul and I must say Lindsey Graham is one of the three things I mentioned above and we know which two it ain't ;-)

  • why is it that every libertarian I have ever talked to are.

    1. black and on welfare

    2. anti gun

    and 3. don't know what the constitution says?

    really why? this is why I do not identify with ANY political group anymore. I say I'm for the constitution if you don't like it you suck.

    I guess no one wants to make clear lines anymore on what they are for and against

  • You are thinking about LIBERALS

    NOT Libertarians!!!

  • yeah thats what I was thinking but they said they where representing Libertarians. I'm trying to get more information about the Libertarian party if you would like to enlighten me. Also what separates you guys from conservatism? I'm not talking about modern day globalist controlled bush type conservatism either.

  • Yeah thats what I was thinking but they said they where Libertarians. I'm trying to get more information about the Libertarian party so if you wish to enlighten my about what you guys stand for and do not approve. Also what separates you guys from conservatism? And I'm not talking about modern day globalist controlled conservatism either.

  • A Libertarian is a Conservative who kept his promise to keep govt out of your daily life and the central govt small and so inexpensive there is no need for an income tax (like in the 150 years before WWI when the govt got a taste for it. Todays Neo-cons are basically Liberals who sold their souls in an attempt not to alienate too many Socialist Liberals who amazingly STILL think the govt can be trusted to do anything right, efficiently or effectively.

  • Liberal and Libertarian are two different things. Libertarians typically worship, harp on, and make everyone crazy with their interpretations of the Constitution (liberty for us, not for government.) Liberals want to give all power to the government.

  • In fact the word Democracy which means rule by people (MOB rule) is nowhere in the Constitution or Bill of Rights because above all that is the one type of government our founding fathers wanted to make sure America was NOT!!! A Republic is rule by LAW and is the PROPER type of government America is SUPPOSED to be. Say your "Pledge of Allegiance" if you don't believe me and prove it to yourself. The secret the govt wants you to forget!

  • There not libertarians

  • Constitutional law (the ONLY one that is LEGAL in America) is all about the INDIVIDUAL. Groups have NO rights under it but politicians of the Left and Right don't want you to know that so they can steal your INDIVIDUAL rights because some groups claim its for some imagined benefit. That's because America was founded as a Constitutional REPUBLIC, and NOT as a Democracy.

  • Lindsey is a girls name and Graham is a cracker.

  • mark and his bitchassness

  • here here

  • I agree with Mr. Sanford as well as Mr. grengerx. Politicians CANNOT create prosperity or wealth. They can only steal it.

  • "Liberty IS the hallmark of the American experiment... the distiguishing characteristic of our republic... what's made it great... the GENIOUS of America."

    WOW... I couldn't have said it better myself!

  • God bless Mark Sanford. Please run for governor in Virginia!

  • Mark Sanford needs to worry about improving his state education wise and financially. South Carolina ranks amongst the lowest of states in terms of personal income and educational standards.  That should be his concern over that issues of him being a liberatarian or not.

  • says the guy who names himself after a muslim extremist heroine dealer/addict from a HBO prison show.

  • Supreme Allah was a 5 percenter.

  • I guess this type of mischaracterization is in line with the same people who accuse a leader of being a Communist, Socialist, Fascist, and muslim all in one.

  • Lindsey Graham sounds like an old grandmother whose bitching because she knows its inevitable and is in denial.

    Yes the GOP will adopt libertarian principles (HOPEFULLY) and when they do they'll have my vote. Till then, I'm voting independent.

  • So, if there is no Independent you are not going to vote? Half a loaf is better than no loaf at all.

    The GOP is turning the corner, from the grassroots up. Dinosaur RINO's like Grahamnasty, Collins, and Cornyn will be toast. Replaced by true conservatives.

  • graham is ,uh, a dumbass.

  • Sanford 2012

  • jimmyjoe, Check out Gary Johnson, former governor of NM. A record much like Sanford. And he even endorsed Paul in 2008!

  • The key here is former governor. Would he have endorsed while in office? Maybe. But it would be nice for him to return to office.

  • Mark Sanford was a great congressman (voting almost the same as Paul) and is a principled governor. But I have to admit I was dumbfounded by his endorsement of McCain during the SC primary.

  • It was not a resounding endorsement. It was political. I lived under Mark Sanford's governorship for 3 years and know that he has political courage. But none has it like Ron Paul. Well Dennis Kucinich is principled, but the mostly in the wrong direction.

  • Amanda Moore doesn't know how to use a microphone.

  • Liberty , use it or loose it. we need to take back our FREE U.S of A . we are all going completely the wrong way. i do not want my son to get left with a land of tyranny not even a little bit . i love my country and its constitution . lets all vote in a 3rd party its the Libertarians time..

  • Liberty is what it's all about and I stand behind Ron Paul and everyone who loves freedom. I do not stand behind those who think that we need to police the world.

  • Beautifuly stated my friend.

  • If libertarians believe that liberty is given by God and not man, and that if must be fought for from time to time with the spilled blood of patriots, and we must come to the military aid of your allies when called upon, then I can endorse it.

  • Mr. Sanford must also reject the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan/Pakistan. He and Sen. Jim DeMint must clearly reject these wars. They must clearly declare an end to the hostilities in those countries.

  • I am a combat veteran US Air Force. I love America! I HATE and distrust the federal government and I am scared to death we that we have so few Americans that are willing to force the federal gov to follow the constitution!

  • uh, weren't you a part of the federal government while in the air force?

  • Being a part of the federal government as a member of the military does not condemn a person to infallible support of the federal government. In fact it probably imbues more support of liberty as the military is our defense for the free world. Defending liberty and supporting the federal government taking our freedom away by dismissing the constitution are two completely separate and unrelated concepts.

  • the list time the federal military was used for defence was WWII. since then its been nothin but imperial conquest across the globe.

  • The military runs on a completely different set of ethics and morality than the federal gov. For instance Marines teach recruits that you must always do the right thing, especially when no one is looking. Big dif ehh? Soldier's OATH when sworn in, "to protect my country for all enemies, foreign and domestic'. That means from it's OWN gov''s tyranny, if need be.

  • I totally agree iprazhm. The federal government seems to me more about appearances than truly benefiting this nations people.

  • Late reply I know. But NO I was not apart of the Federal Gov't. I was supporting and defending the Constitution as was the oath I took the day I began serving. I served in Honduras, well as other places, and I saw first hand the lack of moral and justifiable action by our leaders. WE served and followed our orders and now as a civi, I can speak my mind and have absolutely earned the right to say whatever i Damn well want to. Your welcome from all of us whom have defended your right 2 also.

  • Thank you for your service. I don't want to distract any more from the posted video and its topic, but...you and I both know there are a lot of people in the military who aren't in it for the constitution and American principles of liberty. Both grunts on the ground and brass at the top.

  • I can tell you never served, and thats ok. The reason u start something is rarely the singular reason you stay. You do it 1st for the oath you took( Defending the Constitution.), then for men you serve with & ur family. In military language it's called HONOR, DUTY, COUNTRY, and SERVICE. It's not for the servicemen to choose the mission just HONOR the ones before you by doing ur DUTY to ur COUNTRY with ur SERVICE. Then by doing this u r protecting the constitution and the freedom it guarantees.

  • you know, the more you throw around those buzzwords from the recruitment posters, the more i wonder if YOU ever served.

  • Wonder all you like.

  • Really? Is that how it works? The military should be abolished, as the Constituion mandates. The only standing military forces the are C mandated are navies and a small militia for home defense. Once we went by way of Empire the Honor, Service, Duty crap became just that.

    This Cult of Hero that has grown around the military, police, etc leads DIRECTLY to corruption, on all levels.

    Soldiers are NOT heroes, they are just people.

  • I'm sorry, you sound like a nice guy and I don't want to insult you, but by 'serving' in Hondorus, you're not suggesting that YOU were protecting or 'serving' me? You were serving your corporate masters.

    Simply 'following orders' is not enough, the NAzi's tried that defense. The US military is thouroughly corrupt and dishonest. The US military MAKES us MORE unsafe, not less.

    I suggest you read Gen Smedley Darlington Butler's "War is a Racket".

  • Your Welcome would had been enough. The very fact you have the ability to speak out is a freedom you have but not quite payed for. your prolly a 28 yr old living with ur parents. I have a suggestion, try doing something you dont want to for some one you have never met. and yes I was serving "you" . the thing ppl like u dont get is that because ppl like us will stand a post makes it possible for u 2 b u. and yes it does insult me to be so so about my values form someone whom has none.

  • BAG: (good moniker you chose for yourself....)

    You have done nothing but get brainwashed into thinking that you are a 'Hero' (you're not) and that you are 'defending America' (which you are not, but actually weakening it). The military is a giant welfare state so that dumb dumb's such as yourself are not out in the streets causing trouble. Better to put a rifle in your hands and to murder innocent women and children and burn homes down(or so goes the logic of your masters)....

  • I guess the 28 yr old coment hit a nerve huh? with evry line u write you show how ignorant u r. I didnt carry a weapon. I was in aviation and still am. I can assure you This GI is no dumb dumb. But I cant expect someone with your background to understand anything other than a critique mentality. U cant live life in a commentary position as u do. sometimes you got to get your hands dirty, then whos gong 2 do it ? YOU? talkng only get u so far. I'll b n Arnhem in Jan. i can show u what i mean...

  • What are you babbling about? I should warn you that if you are threatening me online, you are not only committing a crime in your state, but a federal crime. If you long to go to an ass pounding prison that's your own business.

    But I certainly am not going to entertain some mental infant with his GI Joe fantasies. Lotsa luck in the nut house!

  • BumAssLicker:

    And I quote, "with evry line u write you show how ignorant u r. I didnt carry a weapon."

    Wow, you really are a fucking idiot. I did not bother responding to you, you dolt, because my parents taught me not to torment dumb animals...

    But obviously I am Your Master, and now you are My Dog.

    Back to your Hole My Dog!

  • 2 retorts on 1 cmt?!?! And now U R a J.D. too huh? No threats, just an opportunity for you if u wish 2 accept, but you didn't did u? I love opinions expressed by ppl that have no real life experience at anything. As far as the master thing, again a window n2 who u r. A little big boy talk and ur on to the profanity and insults. ur sensitive huh? your flaw to hubris reactions and puerile thinking is funny, really! Glad 2 c u mind ur parents so well as not 2 respnd, oh but u did & twice no less.

  • BadAssGiver: Well, since you quite obviously did not finish high school, I think it puts the nail in the coffin about your military claims....

    Listen retard, go peddle crazy somewhere else, we're not buying any here. You are absolutely free to express as much of your mental illness as possible. But you should take care in whom you threaten online, one never knows who they are posting to.

  • Remember this mans name, watch what he does and if it falls in line with the free market, free people agenda SUPPORT HIM.

  • Fuck ya, Sanford I hope your words are true to your heart.

  • The NeoCon-Fascists like Graham and the Democrat-Socialists like Pelosi & Reid areTwo sides of the SAME Constitution hating, oath ignoring, treasonous, Lincoln loving, central planning Statists coin.

    They are truly Republicrats and the very reason why Freedom Loving people don't trust the federal gov't.

    The NeoCons are KILLING the Republican party!

    Guarding AGAINST their type of scum is the VERY reason we have the Bill of Rights!

  • you are truly crazy.

  • You are truly a SHEEP!

  • The Racism Charge. Plan A in the Marxist playbook designed to silence speech and independent thinking.

  • yes, liberty is extremely racist. lol. thats a good one. tell me another.

  • please explain how the rebel flag is racist. if South Carolina is so racist then why do we have the largest black population in the forced union? I myself am mixed.

  • that is a lie.  we left cause the feds were raping us with their unconstitutional and unproportional taxes. slavery was not an issue at all until 2 years after the war started when dishonest abe was gettin desperate and wanted to create an uprising that never happened. the truth is that the emancipation proclamation only applied to "sites of rebellion" and western territories. it left slavery still legal in states that stayed loyal to the union such as Maryland and new jersey among others.

  • slavery wasent outlawed in new jersey till 1865 well after the war was over, (2 years after the hypotricital emancipation proclimation). if the federals were really fightin to end it why did they still allow it at home?

  • Oh, really. I'm glad we have such a great historian like you to explain that the civil war was not about slavery, but instead about taxes and of course the federal government trying to force policy on the states(abolition). So if the south would have won, would you have embraced slavery?

  • absolutely not. grant, shearman, and lincolns family owned slaved. General Lee and president Davis did not. the federally controlled schools are teaching huge piles of lies and historical revisionism.

  • What does who's families owned slaves have to do with the issue of the confederate army fighting to keep slavery law? Facts are that the confederate army killed US citizens to maintain slavery as law. Slaves weren't escaping to the north to become part of Lincoln, Grant, or Sherman's plantations, they were escaping for freedom. Seems as if you, Mark Stanford, and Rick Davis want to bring the 1850's back.

    Osama Bin Laden would have loved to kill as many amrericans as Robert E. Lee.

  • more lies.

  • "Osama Bin Laden would have loved to kill as many amrericans as Ulysses S. Grant."

    TFTFY. It was a civil war, after all.

  • Does it technically count as killing americans because of course the south was fighting for the right to not be a part of the United States.

  • From the point of view of the people doing the killing, yes, they were Americans.

  • Mr.Allah07....You need to worry more about becoming more educated on what makes a nation prosperous and productive. Mr. Sanford is right on, and your criticism is ignorant and without merit.

  • Are you an American or a towel head?

  • Are you illiterate or just can't spell "technique"?

  • Another commie-like technic of bringing ancient history to invalidate modern politicians

  • Respect to him, he isn't afraid to stick to what he believes.

  • God bless Gov. Sanford. He is a man of principle and I respect him for that.

  • If this guy is not lying, then he should run for President in 2012. It would be good to have one other candidate in the running besides Ron Paul who you could trust.

  • No nothing about the guy, but this is a great statement.

  • Thank you Mark Sanford for being a man of conviction.

  • "I believe that if the people of this nation fully understood what Congress has done to them over the last 49 years, they would move on Washington; they would not wait for an election... It adds up to a preconceived plan to destroy the economic and social independence of the United States!"

  • Sanford,  you rock.

  • Let's hear some more from this guy :-)

  • Correct video "the great water heist" here on youtube to see Russ Fiengold's bill 787 to the federal gov to OWN "ALL" water in, on and under the USA, private property or not!!!

  • This video excites me for 2012. I want to fast forward three years to election season.

  • Oppose Russ Fiensgold's bill787 to let the federal gov. OWN ALL WATER RIGHTS in the USA, that would include the well on your own land if you have one. Check out YT video "who owns the water".

    I repeat "ALL" water. private land or not.

  • Thanks you Gov, Sanford. Way to stand up Sir!
