Mark Sanford refusing to resign. What a shocker.

The Republicans are good at faking outrage and forcing Democrats to apologize. And making their affairs into "It's a love story". I guess a marriage is between a man and the woman he cheats on. For someone preaching moral values is very hypocritical. Sanford needs to shed his egotistical medieval armor.

Left the desk unattended. Left the country. Lied to his children. Lied to this wife. Lied to his constituants.

Which one of us mere mortals would leave the post unattended, fly to another country and come back whistling claiming similarity with King David? Please. He claimed to be the family values candidate. Sanford is to moral values what Larry Craig is to gay rights. He was one of the leaders of impeaching Clinton and said other people should resign.

I love how he keeps quoting scriptures now ... wonder what scriptures he was thinking of while he was wining and dining his mistress in Buenos Aires, I mean hiking in the Appalachian Mountains.

Republican Ensign is grateful to Sanford for eclipsing his affair. Sanford should thank Michael Jackson for taking the attention away from his.

So Sanford fought tooth and nail, not to take stimulus money. And now, it turns out he used taxpayers' dollars, to fund his trip to Argentina, to have an illicit affair with his mistress. I'm not surprised. Rome didn't fall in a day. But somehow, the GOP find new ways to do it.

Yes, Clinton lied about consensual sex. Reagan lied about dealing with terrorists and selling weapons to a sworn terrorist enemy. Which was more harmful?
