If the man weren’t so hypocritical , one could find it easier to forgive him. He thinks it’s a sin for homosexuals to love each other, but goes ahead and falls in love with a woman who is not his wife. Perhaps if he had shown more empathy for Gays, one could have more sympathy for him.

I hope if he ends up with Maria he lives with her in Argentina. Her kids are my kids age and they being
Latino may beat out my kids in getting accepted to the college of their choice. Also if Maria is given a green card what kind of message does that send….Engage in provocative talk with a homely old fart with money and political pull, seduce him into disinhibited wild sex that he can’t get enough of , tell him what you know he wants to hear..Presto!!..your out of the 14th floor apartment living the American dream!

Seems that SC Governor Sanford had indeed told his wife by cell phone where he was going.

Through the crackly connection though, she heard “I’m going to hike the Appalachian Trail” when in fact he said “I’m going to hit some hot Argentinean tail”

Actually i think this was my fault. No, I don’t know any of the people involved but I am a conservative. I’m not gay (at least I don’t think so). I’m not a perv (although I sneak a peak at porn once in a while). I’m against illegal immigration but sympathize with illegals who just want to make a better life for themselves and their families. I’m against abortion but believe in choice for those who are able to make an informed decision (even 13 y/o children who can’t decide which color socks to wear on any given day). Soooooo, I think this is my fault for having a neurotic need for puritanical piety which creates an atmosphere of hypocrisy. But then again, thinking this is somehow my fault would make me some sort of narcissist….OMG! I need my therapist……

PATHETIC…ATLEAST CLINTON DIDN’T CRY!!!! OH MY GOODNESS IMAGINE IF THIS WEAK MAN BECAME OUR NEXT PREDSIDENT. HE WOULD RISK OUR NATIONAL SECURITY FOR THE DESIRE TO BE WITH HIS SOUL MATE. THE WAY MARK SANDFORD HANDLED THIS ORDEAL SHOWS HE IS AN UNSTABLE WIMP WITH POOR JUDGEMENT. I HOPE HIS WIFE CONSIDERS RUNNING FOR GOVENOR OR EVEN PRESIDENT..SHE WOULD GET MY VOTE.

What I find interesting is that some folks think there’s something fundamentally different about this than say, the average Springer show (or I guess Maury Povich these days).
If the players are under-educated and toeing the poverty line, they get exploited on a crappy syndicated “talk” show. But if they happen to be rich, educated, and/or powerful, well then the prestigious network news desks will do the exploiting.
It’s all the same, we all just feed off of it.
It gets used to justify “righteous anger” and the hateful comments that come with that, or the “better him than me” aspect of it for those who dont make it a moral issue.

Mr.Sanford has become suddenly a human after crucifying Bill Clinton. No, falling in love is not a crime but it would be just moral to tell his wife and children about it.
By the way, God did not make up the marriage documents, and if he/she did, then he/she made us love outside the marriage , be faithful or unfaithful to our partner too –but declaration of moral righteousness after being caught, is onle acceptance under duress. Thak God, he could not declare”Holier than thou” any longer.

How can I say this? Having a year long affair is not a MISTAKE. It is a conscious decision to lie, cheat, hide, conceal, make excuses, cover up etc…over & over again. I feel for the four young boys mostly & of course their mother. If you can lie & cheat to the people that supposedly mean the most to you, don’t you think that carries over to the job as well? I believe it does.

I’ll never understand why people are so quick to judge. An affair like this is clearly not the Gov just looking for some quickie physically. If that is what he wanted there are a hundreds better solutions. I think its clear that he had an emotional connection with her and that what happened physically came after they’d developed a friendship. Why would this happen? Clearly, there was something lacking in his marriage and that is never just the fault of one person….its always a two-way deal. Does that justify an affair? No, but condemning him isn’t right either and unless one of us feels that we know exactly what it is like to walk in his shoes, then lets back off and let him and his family deal with it as best they can. To me, the only question the public should be concerned about is that he’s the Gov and he went AWOL (regardless of the reason) for five days.
