The Sanford Affair

Coming from a man it is simple. Men are pigs, all men, no exceptions. Especially the Politicians. We can't keep our Dic!!!! in our pants. Not that that is an excuse, but this guy isn't doing anything to his girlfriend that the average politician hasn't done to the average taxpayer. It is however an interesting story. First the Governor of South Carolina goes "missing." Then there is a period of days where he is staff "thinks" he is hiking in the Appalachian Mountains. Then he shows up yesterday and admits that he has been "clearing his head" in Argentina ...... with his Argentinean lover. Then we here that his wife had kicked him out of the Governors mansion weeks ago.


So much for the man that stood a chance to defeat Obama in 2012. This pretty much ends his chances for a run to the White House. Besides ... don't we have a wonderful history of this sort of stuff? John F. Kennedy comes to mind. Then there's Bill Clinton. The Democrats, you will remember, were telling us that this Clinton thing didn't matter ... it was his private life after all.

Then we had John Edwards who's wife was dying of Cancer go off and screw around. Yet because Sanford is a Republican, the media have decided to take off on this story and make it part of the top items to cover in their news cycles. Why didn't they do that with Clinton, Edwards, Kennedy, or others...Because they were Democrats.



The one thing that bothers me the most about this whole ordeal is not the fact that he cheated on his wife, because that happens all to often unfortunately. It is the fact that he disappeared "Hiking in the Appalachians" on Fathers Day. (Hence the picture up top). He has four kids, and I'm sure they would have loved to have been with Daddy on Fathers Day. That to me makes hm a Scumbag. Have trouble with your spouse, okay. But don't let it get in the way of your kids.



All in all this is just another step backward for the Republicans. How the hell are going to face down the Democrats in 2010-2012 with this kind of crap going on. Republican claim to be high on morals, yet this happens when they are at their low points. Do want to use your Second Amendment rights to shoot yourself in the head to get it over with, because hell, you've shot your feet enough times. Times like this I'm glad that I'm a Conservative Independent. Both parties are crap.
