Don't just claim that it's the Republicans. Do you remember some guy named Clinton who cheated on his wife and then lied to the public who elected him? Or John Edwards who cheated on his terminally ill wife while running for President? Bad judgement and hypocracy knows no party lines.

As for Sanford, he's revealed himself to be a bit of a headcase. He loves his mistress but wants to fall in love with his wife again? Who the heck let him hold that press conference and say those things? That guy is a jerk and is nuts.

Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio

His claim is that Republicans put forth the impression that they are on the higher path and as such, are hypocritical pieces of sh**.

Like my example above of Toe-Tapping Craig sponsoring a bill against equal rights for gay couples and then looking for some man-love in a restroom.

First off, it's not very smart to label a whole group of people. And I don't believe that PaulS thinks all Republicans are bad. I also don't think you do, since you're a closet conservative.

Craig probably is against gay rights because he's married and therefore gets the rights of a straight person. He probably secretly hates the fact that he has gay urges and this is how he copes.

No, definitely not. I don't want anyone to ever think that.

The POS was meant to refer to cheaters. I'll put them all in the same boat.

I use to vote primarily repub. but switched b/c I think their views have gotten very extreme (I'm sure many can come back w/that about dems.). Any time you have 1 party in power w/to much power they get complacent and lose touch w/their constituants. The repubs. need to start appealling to a younger more diverse pop.

Have a good holiday!

Nice, he hates the fact that he's gay

How about he probably hates the fact that society has made him life a disingenuous life and keeps him from being who he really is.

My fault, I misread his statement. Sorry Paul.

Not sure on this one, if he spent government funds to do this then, he has no excuse and should be kicked out of office.

If he spent his own $$ and had a fling, it may be different. Many politicians on both sides have survived this type of backlash.

The people of South Carolina really like this guy and this may be survivable. He will not make the 2012 ticket, but may stay on as gov.

The OP didn't mention dems or repub. Therefore, my comment about POSs refered to anyone who cheats and their being a POS. I only added the part about the repub. being hypocritical. I agree bad judgement and hypocracy knows no party and that both should be remembered when people go to the poles.
