HIPOCRISY. The Guv travels on State Jet to get to his hairstylist, dentist (ILLEGAL), while the people of his state live in squalor. This person was more likely exhausted from his trips to his Lover in Argentina, than working hard for the people of SC. The people need to throw him out, get someone in there who can focus on the needs of their constituents, and not themselves. This BUMB ran on "family values"! The people of SC who send their children to CRUMBLING schools deserve better.
Governor Sanford, you must have branched out other financial resources in order to create surplus for South Carolina, thus setting aside money received from Washington.The money from Washington may cause the state to go into further debt, not to eliminate it. I'm glad you made other financial plans on the state budget that will increase wealth to South Carolina.
I would like to remind Governor Sanford that there is room for improvement in South Carolina state politics, chcknsht. If you can't respect him, then don't say anything mean to him at all.
if he was dealing with the issues, your unemployment rate wouldn't be 2nd in the nation and your hiv rate is 2nd behind oh, mississippi.....dealing with the issues, yeah, as blacks in places like Estill are held up by criminal klan members, yeah, dealing with the issues, you need to travel more, meaning, get out of sc and you would know that blacks are the worst off in sc and mississippi....the two most racist states in the union
Don't be so quick to judge the governor. it appears that he was really in Russia trying to get them to help South Carolina secede from the Union. Obviously , he got got and fabricated the huge Argentina lie.
Think that ever so morale compass is off track again. Welcome to the real world buddy, stuff like this happens everyday, even to speculated potential vp candidates ;)
Ya, these fucking Republicans! It is not that both Democrats and Republicans fuck around, it is they hypocracy of the GOP that makes me want to puke! They are on top of the mountains saying that allowing gays to marry will threaten marriage. WTF? What threatens these guys marriages is when they boink their little whores! If you are a women and some gay couple next door threatens your marriage, run, don't walk the fuck out of your own marriage. You old man needs help and you can't give it to him.
AN Open Letter To Mrs. Sanford(?): If you like, I am a strong and viral man that would love to give you 5 days of pleasure that your husband failed to give to you.
To Gov. Sanford. You are one poor excuse for a man and a father. I hope the girlfriend is worth it. You lost everything. So stop your bitch as crying to the cameras and quit the job. Finish what you started. QUIT!!
mrs sanford is a racist slut, she will take any cock that knocks on the door, what? You think she is worthy of respect? No fool would have married a racist who made money off of the backs of slaves, only a woman with NO SELF RESPECT would stay with sanford and i believe that is jenny.
In my experience, I've seen pictures of her on the Internet, and man, Mrs. Sanford
looks beautiful, unlike the racist woman you see her to be. If you don't believe me, see it for yourself. Then you will learn how beautiful and ladylike Jenny Sanford really is.
P.S. - Please help Jenny Sanford repair her marriage with Governor Mark Sanford. Support her while you still can.
and as for jenny sanford, she reminds me of a racist texan that i sat by at usc, all pale with that dark hair and those beady eyes, i bet she cringes at the thought of breathing the same air as a "negra".... i bet she never even sat within 10 feet of "negra".... sc is a joke, plain and simple, slavery still is alive and well and the blacks are a bunch of floozies for putting up with that crap.

being a veags native, can we place a wager on who's next form that great party of family values who was so upset about clinton getting a bj? the next GOP leader to fall is going to be caught coming out of a gay bar, and will break-down and admit that he learned how to give oral sex from larry craig and he is in love with that american idol guy.
Another self-righteous republican and presidential hopeful bites the dust. Why can't the republicans show more moral strength and responsibility to family values? Its good to have Obama and Michelle in the White House!
I agree with you, jdheelfan!!! America's gonna come across state governors who would rather branch out other financial resources to generate the economy of their state over taking stimulus money from the federal government!! We don't see state governors like that anymore. Mark Sanford is one of the rare breeds for state governors in this country.
Keep up the good work!!! SC is proud that your our governor. I went to my hometown in GA this weekend...You and Jim DeMint are heroes in that state as well. Thank-you for standing up for what you believe in and doing the RIGHT THING!
South Carolina .. is number 2 on the list for unemployment . Teachers will lose their job because of this, we are already in debt *under his watch) so can you explain what has he done that was good for the state. I am not saying this to be mean... or fight I really want to know ,
I can analyze the problem in South Carolina, because its the same problem in most states, You need to take back over your schools away from the Administrators and unions that noone benefit in mind but their own. And I blame the Teachers most of all for letting it happen! They are on the front lines of the battle and they side with everyone but our children.
The money Sanford wants to reject is specifically targeted for education and public safety. Those who support him should explain why education and public safety are low priority. They should also explain why South Carolinians, who pay federal tax, should reject the stimulus when the only result will be that their tax money will be diverted to other states. Finally, the nay-sayers should visit our schools in the Corridor of Shame along Interstate 95 in SC.
You already spend more money per student than 95% of the rest of the states. And all you want to do is throw more money at a losing solution. Thats real smart and you can't do anything because teachers unions won't let you. You are just a windbag blowing hot air! Get rid of Administrators and put more in the classrooms. I bet you have one administrator for one teacher.
Hey, 3LCZW, you don't know what you are talking about. South Carolina ranks 41st in the US in money spent per pupil. The legislature will make drastic cuts in the education budget if Sanford succeeds in blocking the stimulus money - this may put us at the bottom. Your statement that we have one administrator per teacher is a joke. Try doing your research with more reliable sources than right-wing blogs.
Thank you for clarifying that for those of us who get our information and "facts" from right wing blogs. I am finding more and more that some of these "news" outlets are nothing but propaganda. People need to stop buying into this propaganda hook, line, and sinker.
Sanford's stand will be vindicated...ppl dont understand capitalism and sensible economics...the dumbocrats and neocons in south carolina are fueling this tirade against sanford
This guy gets it. And the vitriole from the misinformed just verfies it more. We are marching toward an America where freedom is more precious (and rare) than gold... and as a recovering Republican, I for one will stand up and support the leaders around this great land who are willing to stick their neck out for common sense fiscal principles. Mr. Sanford, I barely heard of you before this video ... but I've got your back now, good sir.
Thank you, Govenor Sanford. Finally ,we have an elected official who UNDERSTANDS HOW MONEY WORKS! I am willing to bet that most people who oppose you think this money is "free money". Stay the course.
Mr. Sanford is correct on this issue! It must take a lot of courage to turn down government handouts, and more people in this country need that courage.
Remember, government does not create wealth - any money they give you, they must take from you by force - by taxing, borrowing, or printing money and devaluing the dollar. You are the one paying in the end.
Transferring the wealth through government only allows the lobbyists to take their chunk of the money you'd otherwise choose how to spend.
Sanford is not grandstanding wanting to pay off debt. He's warning of the very large bills coming due two years form now.
Compare to the recent hike in taxes in california, by 8% while revenues are projected to go up 1%, more spending money thats not there. But the amounts are colossal now.
And as for spend happy republicans (read RINOS): they've been rightly taking a drubbing at the polls since at least '06 for acting like libs. RINOS also worked against conservatives (even backing democrats).
Balderdash! I might be more inclined to believe he was serious and not just grandstanding for his own political purposes if he'd expressed outrage at spending $13 Billion each month in that foolhardy war in Iraq.
Funny how Republicans have suddenly rediscovered the old-time religion of fiscal restraint after eight years of spending like a drunken sailor (my apologies to sailors everywhere.)
Their constituents should remember this at the polls...turds like Sanford, Jindal and Palin placed their political aspirations before the needs of their states.
Open secrets info for fmae/mac $ to congress '89-08:
Dodd: $116,900
Obama: $120,349
R. emanuel: $35,750
McCain: $21,500
chicago tribune, 3/26/09 on FMac: "One of those allegedly asleep-at-the-switch board members was Chicago's Rahm Emanuel...made at least $320,000 for a 14-month stint at Freddie Mac that required little effort."
Clinton appointed him in 2/2000.
Maybe you should move to Cali. Dems demanding all that bailout $ (your tax $ too!) are running it so much better than SC!
I'm with you all the way, ShowMeLiberty! Mark Sanford should run for president in 2012!! The Republican Party needs new youthful, fresh faces, you know.
Just a lot of outlandish statements against sanford to try and establish the "narrative".
Rich folk buying politiciians?
Like all that money rahm emanuel, barney frank, OBAMA took from fmae and fmac.
Like sanford said-you can't spend your way out of debt.
All you libs-go back to the messes you created in California and New York. You know, the ones you ran into the ground with your spending, taxing mentality and now demand a bailout for.
According to the Federal Election Commission, McCain got $169,000 from lobbyists, directors, and officers of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, while Obama received only $16,000.
I live in South Carolina, and I can guarantee that Sanford's rigid ideology has created a mess here. The state is in chaos. Mayors and legislators from both parties are screaming at him.
Our country's economic mess was caused by deregulation, that Republican gift to their base, the greedy and the non-compassionate.
South Carolina newspapers are reporting outrage from both Democrats and Republicans that Sanford is rejecting desperately needed money for schools and public safety in order to position himself to run for president in 2012. Sanford wants to keep the money in a rainy-day fund. Well, it's raining now! SC has the second highest unemployment rate in the US, and the deteriorating condition of its schools are a national shame. Sanford cares only about himself, not those he was elected to serve.
What I don't hear is any plan to actually fix the problem. Taking the most stimulative type of money (extension of unemployment benefits) and asking for tax cuts for the rich is the definition of insanity. Bush pissed away 1.2 trillion dollars to the richest americans. Bring a real idea to the table, because we are tired of cleaning up your messes.
Governor Sanford hasn't said he doesn't want to spend the money...just that it's responsible to use a portion of it to pay down our state's outrageous debt. He's right.
Great, Governor Sanford! Every single unaccountable, inflationary, illogical dollar given back to the stimulus boondoggle is a dollar that will go to a state that will be grubby, feckless, and near-sighted --- and in the same position years and years from now. You're kind of decisions are the ones that will get us out of the mess we are in, and your critics are naieve, capitulatory, koolaid-drinkers. Keep up the good work --- your nation needs your steady rationaity and economic prudence.Thanks.
What a piece of work you are, AirborneIdiot! If you would look at this man's record as a member of the US House and as Governor, you would see a true Conservative. But the best your gay ass can do is call a married man with children a "fag". FOAD! You and your children deserve the astranomical amounts of dept being piled on by your Messiah..... or is obama your Massa?
Mark, what's the point of this ad? A prelude to a presidential run? I hear no solutions. More "NO!" You lose more credibility without a solution to the downturn.
Speaking of solutions, I just checked your campaign website. No solutions, no real "education." Finally, what's the connection between rejecting stimulus funds because it can't be used to reduce state-debt versus "reforming State government?" I'm just trying to get clarity to the point of this media campaign.
If you knew what the man has said about the stimulus, you would have his answer.
Here's the truth. HE REFUSED STIMULUS MONEY BECAUSE IT HAS STRINGS ATTACHED. WHEN THE MONEY IS GONE IN TWO YEARS, HE WOULD HAVE TO KEEP THE HIGH TAXES ON BUSINESSES IN HIS STATE. THIS WOULD LEAD TO LOSS OF JOBS. THOSE GOVERNORS WHO ACCEPT AND SAY SCREW WHAT HAPPENS IN TWO YEARS ARE THE ONES WHO ARE CREEPS. WAKE UP LEFTIES.
He rejected the stimulus money because he wants to look like the loyal opposition in time for the 2012 election. He doesn't care about unemployed blacks.
Horseshit as in Sanford not intending to do what he says, or Horseshit as in enormous debt is necessary to push forward Obama's Keynesian economic policies of government injections, hoping to get us back on track?
True. Where was he when the last administration started that war (Iraq) that could had been provented and borrowed
TRILLIONS from China. Almost turning the U.S. into a third world nation. Everyone in the U.S. who did not vote The Bush Adminitration in did not react so hostile.
google
"Bush misused Iraq intelligence - US Senate report"
Obama has to figure how to end that war the past administration started.
Is that why Obomba is expanding all the wars Bush started? Is that why neocons like Bill Krystol write op-eds praising Obomba? Is that why Obomba is expanding Bush's warrantless wiretap and internet data mining espionage efforts on American citizens? Is that why Obomba is doubling-down on Bush's billionaire bailout plans?
lol, ESTILL SC...THAT IS ALL THAT I HAVE TO SAY about SC....NO WALMART, BLACK PEOPLE SECTION, WHITE PEOPLE SECTION...TWO SCHOOL DISTRICT AND OH..they will burn your house down if you build it near their section or hang you if you date a white girl...PATRICK HENRY ACADEMY.....lol at the kkk school of thugs

Sanford wants to keep the money in a rainy-day fund. Well, it's raining now! SC has the second highest unemployment rate in the US, and the deteriorating condition of its schools are a national shame. Sanford cares only about himself, not those he was elected to serve.

What I don't hear is any plan to actually fix the problem. Taking the most stimulative type of money (extension of unemployment benefits) and asking for tax cuts for the rich is the definition of insanity. Bush pissed away 1.2 trillion dollars to the richest americans. Bring a real idea to the table, because we are tired of cleaning up your messes.

sanford is looking out for the rich because they are the ones who put him in office. he is a puppet for corporate america.

Governor Sanford hasn't said he doesn't want to spend the money...just that it's responsible to use a portion of it to pay down our state's outrageous debt. He's right.

Great, Governor Sanford! Every single unaccountable, inflationary, illogical dollar given back to the stimulus boondoggle is a dollar that will go to a state that will be grubby, feckless, and near-sighted --- and in the same position years and years from now. You're kind of decisions are the ones that will get us out of the mess we are in, and your critics are naieve, capitulatory, koolaid-drinkers. Keep up the good work --- your nation needs your steady rationaity and economic prudence.Thanks.

What a piece of work you are, AirborneIdiot! If you would look at this man's record as a member of the US House and as Governor, you would see a true Conservative. But the best your gay ass can do is call a married man with children a "fag". FOAD! You and your children deserve the astranomical amounts of dept being piled on by your Messiah..... or is obama your Massa?

Mark, what's the point of this ad? A prelude to a presidential run? I hear no solutions. More "NO!" You lose more credibility without a solution to the downturn.

Speaking of solutions, I just checked your campaign website. No solutions, no real "education." Finally, what's the connection between rejecting stimulus funds because it can't be used to reduce state-debt versus "reforming State government?" I'm just trying to get clarity to the point of this media campaign.
ns0710 2 years ago
If you knew what the man has said about the stimulus, you would have his answer.
Here's the truth. HE REFUSED STIMULUS MONEY BECAUSE IT HAS STRINGS ATTACHED. WHEN THE MONEY IS GONE IN TWO YEARS, HE WOULD HAVE TO KEEP THE HIGH TAXES ON BUSINESSES IN HIS STATE. THIS WOULD LEAD TO LOSS OF JOBS. THOSE GOVERNORS WHO ACCEPT AND SAY SCREW WHAT HAPPENS IN TWO YEARS ARE THE ONES WHO ARE CREEPS. WAKE UP LEFTIES.

Bullshit.
He rejected the stimulus money because he wants to look like the loyal opposition in time for the 2012 election. He doesn't care about unemployed blacks.

same old conservative horseshit

Horseshit as in Sanford not intending to do what he says, or Horseshit as in enormous debt is necessary to push forward Obama's Keynesian economic policies of government injections, hoping to get us back on track?

Sanford is a self-serving tool who only cares about his own political ambitions and not the people of his state.

Where has your leadership been the last six years? Why now, over a debt South Carolina will owe whether we get the money or not?
Mark Sanford is a failure as governor. You have to look no farther than our unemployment statistics. At least Michigan had the car industry to blame!

True. Where was he when the last administration started that war (Iraq) that could had been provented and borrowed
TRILLIONS from China. Almost turning the U.S. into a third world nation. Everyone in the U.S. who did not vote The Bush Adminitration in did not react so hostile.
google
"Bush misused Iraq intelligence - US Senate report"
Obama has to figure how to end that war the past administration started.

Is that why Obomba is expanding all the wars Bush started? Is that why neocons like Bill Krystol write op-eds praising Obomba? Is that why Obomba is expanding Bush's warrantless wiretap and internet data mining espionage efforts on American citizens? Is that why Obomba is doubling-down on Bush's billionaire bailout plans?
Obama is Bush in blackface.
