Nice morals and sanctity of marriage first district...
May 7, 2013, 8:35 PM

Just use that ######## when it is convenient. South Carolina is the laughing stock of the country to have a district that would elect that goober to back into congress.
Enjoy the embarrassment.

How about Gore? He's just a goofus, that got a bunch of idiots to pay him for "Green credits" and then paid landowners (I'm assuming this part) to just continue to let those trees grow. So the idiots can feel better about their 10,000 square foot house with 10 air conditioners, the heated swimming pool, spa and taking private jets everywhere.

I accidentally pointed that post. Edwards did not run because he finally realized he wouldn't win. He thought he would get away with it.
Sooner or later people came to realize what a pos he was. Media couldn't sweep his lying scum bag style away.

Foregone conclusion considering the district.

Most likely we never here from him again, but if for some reason he runs for governor and wins?
That #### would be beyond embarrassing.
(The real question I have is how did the other GOP nomination guy lose to Sanford? Was he a former murderer or something?)

Born and raised in South Carolina, but there is no way in the world I could live there again, not even in my beloved Clemson. The state is baaaaaaaaackwards.
Plenty of resources, but always one of the poorest states in the union. Why? Not a lack of resources, but because of horrible leadership for most of its history.

[ in reply to Good point. If they were bent on electing a republican, do ] |

Sanford won because they had to scramble to find somebody legitimate for the special election, which will only put a Congressman in office until November of 2014 anyway. The field included some good candidates, but very few with any name recognition which is just about the only thing that counts in a special election primary. And that district doesn't just automatically go Republican, as a lesbian billionaire came within 4 points of beating a 5-term Republican congressman there in 2008. Had Democrats fielded a more serious candidate that year, they might have won.
Also, Sanford was a popular governor in SC before his scandal. And I think most serious political historians of SC would say that its leadership has made it far more prominent than you would expect, based on its population. So, you know, get a clue and quit just trashing the state because the other party has been in power for 20 years.

Sanford lived up to and immediately admitted his indiscretion. Clinton and Edwards denied, lied, drug everyone through the ringer ruining lives, and ended in a lengthy court case full of perjury.
I think Sanford made a big life mistake, but voting a liberal into office would be a bigger life mistake.

marriage and conservative moral viewpoints like the republicans do. The big difference is this man was a big sanctity of marriage mouthpiece and ran on the values of conservative social issues.
When Sanford starts giving that line now, he will be like UNC talking about how much they care about academics. It just doesn't fly coming from him.

Sanford has been a very active fiscal conservative and has lived up to that. The sanctity of marriage has not been a platform and has been bastardized by both parties equally. I agree that it would have been nice to have a fresh face bc the media will undoubtedly have fun with it, albeit hypocritically. Don't forget that the party pulled their funds for him. I think Sanford ls election is more telling that people are sick of liberal politics.

since they are the ones who constantly bring the issue of gay marriage up. If they don't believe in the "sanctity of marriage," then why do they think marriage is important enough to recognize in public law?

Are you saying that since I'm a liberal I can't have morals
May 13, 2013, 6:57 PM

I am a fiscal conservative and social liberal. I am also a Christian. Are you saying that a liberal can't be a Christian? If I don't agree with everything you say politically, then I must not have morals, let alone be a good Christian. People like you are why I haven't set foot in an organized church in 15 years, but I have a Bible on my table. I read it regularly, particularly the red ink. I have a relationship with Jesus Christ without the services of one middle-man. I guess Jimmy Swaggart and Ted Hagerty will have to get their prostitute money from someone else. A church will never get one penny from me. They turn around and buy lavish items or use it to run down groups of people in our population. I believe in charity and I give it directly to the needy. Don't need to give one penny to a church. And I grew up loving MYF, Church Camp in Cleveland, South Carolina, and the fellowship of my church. But when I grew up and realized how political churches were and nasty about it, I walked out the door and never looked back. Haven't missed it at all.
I would be very careful in making such judgements of others. You sound very Talibanish or KKKish. Two groups with very different causes, but amazingly similar tactics.
I criticize Republicans and conservatives when they backslide on their morals because they campaign on them as if nobody else has any. But I never say that since they are conservatives they must not have morals or lack Christian compassion.
When people want to compare David Vitter and Mark Sanford to Clinton, they have to realize that Clinton never campaigned on self-rightousness. That is what Republicans do and they are never able to live up to it. Democrats don't claim to be superior in that regard. Look at Strom Thurmond. He campaigned on high morals and that whites were better than blacks. Yet, he goes and haves extra-marital sex with his parents' housekeeper's daughter and then still has such a lack of integrity that he makes laws for the nex 80 years that would make his own daughter's life more difficult. He ran for president on the single issue of segregation. It doesn't get much worse than that. I think it is an absolute disgrace that there is a Strom Thurmond Institute on our campus, primarily because of his legacy as a segregationist. But I don't say that all republicans or conservatives must be without morals.
