Lying Sanford’s days are numbered. Hurry up.
I said what I had to say yesterday (“Dear Mark Sanford: Buy a one-way ticket to Argentina already and be gone.”)
The writing’s on the wall. What’s it going to take? Is he going to wait until one of the other women he “crossed the line with” comes forward to provide all the explicit details? How long long will he keep torturing his wife and kids?
Via The State:
Six of 27 members of the conservative Senate Republican Caucus Tuesday night issued a letter calling on Gov. Mark Sanford to resign.
Two additional senators considered among Sanford’s staunchest allies, also said they want him to resign though they did not sign the letter. Two other senior senators who spoke to the State said Tuesday’s revelations moved them closer to asking Sanford to step down.
The letter was crafted by Senate Majority Leader Harvey Peeler, R-Cherokee, and was circulated among Senate Republicans on Tuesday.
SC GovernorSouth Carolina Governor Mark Sanford ponders a question as he admits during an interview Tuesday with The Associated Press that there were more encounters with his Argentine mistress than he previously has disclosed.
Martin’s reaction came after Sanford told The Associated Press he had more romantic meetings with his Argentinian lover, Maria Belen Chapur, than he previously admitted, including two trysts in New York.
Sanford told the news agency he also had “crossed the line” with other women.
Attorney General Henry McMaster, who is mulling a run for governor, called on SLED to investigate the governor’s travel after the new confessions.

he has done himself, his family, and the Republican party, and his state a great disservice…resign in shame and do not darken the political landscape again…
He is GOP so he will go. Either that or become a dem and stay.
Whatever, but I am already sick of hearing about this.
I don’t think one could improve on that recommendation!
As I’ve said before, Sanford should not even be allowed to resign. Instead, the South Carolina legislature should actually do its duty and remove him from office.
Sanford…you go boy!!!!! and dont come back…
This derelict should review what happened to Blago in Illinois. He refused to resign, so they impeached the scoundrel. Maybe he could go into the hair products business with Blago. Repub/Dem–makes no difference. A scumbag is a scumbag is a scumbag. Bye Bye!!!!
Commenting on his “soul mate” statement. I’ll bet (as my high school German teacher used to say) dollars to donuts that if the governor spent every day with his misstress, she would soon lose the “soul mate” status, because the relationship would lose it’s sense of anticipation, excitement, newness, the forbidden, and become just plain old ordinary. I’m sure he felt the same kind of attraction to Jenny when they first met. And to comment on his Christianity, I really can’t judge that, but his love for his wife certainly doesn’t reflect Christ’s love for His church.
He’s not going to resign. Did Blago resign?
I don’t see why you people care so much. It won’t make any difference if he resigns or not. He didn’t break the law, he’s not going to resign.
He might as well get all his transgressions out in the open now because the democrats would use it to destroy him anyway. At least now when he’s running for president as the GOP nominee, there won’t be an ‘October surprise’.
He’s not going to resign. The sooner you people get it in your head that he didn’t break a law, the better you will all sleep. Seriously, this guy has no impact on your lives at all. Why do you care?
What this man has done to his sons is beyond me. On Father’s Day weekend, no less. I can’t conceive of what would make a man do such a thing. He needs to disappear.
I guess it just makes people feel good to condemn. If he leaves office, it will be because he is removed from office. From the sounds of it, they don’t like the Lt. Gov so they won’t be removing him. Deal with it and let it go.
It’s a question of character. His wife can’t trust him. He’s betrayed his own children. He lied to his staff. He abandoned his post.
It doesn’t matter that no laws were broken. He’s proven that his own selfish interest is more important to him than his marriage, his parental responsibilities, his gubernatorial duties. I don’t want a man like that in office.
With good reason. Andre’ Bauer, the Lt. Gov, is a political hack. He’s been stopped for speeding in a state car, had a gun pulled on him by a cop because he was speeding in downtown Columbia, and got a sweet land deal. Yahoo! or Google it. It’s all out there. It’d rather have a cad who’s fiscally conservative than a political hack who may be morally pristine. Sue me.
Repubs are appaled by the craziness of Sanford’s behavior, because mental health matters when one is governing.
Further, it was not illegal for Sanford to leave his post and be unreachable, but it’s very unethical.
And please stop referring to the folks on this site as “you people” it’s rude and shows your own unhealthy bias.
Yawn….
He is no longer a player in the field of patriotic resurgence. He is not worth our time talking about. His state will take care of their issue. Meanwhile, we have a nation that requires our undivided attention. The Fourth, OUR Independence Day, is fast approaching.
What is more important to our freedom? A lying adulterer from one state, or a narcissistic, prevaricating, meglo-maniacal statist with designs on destroying the American way of life, and the unconstitutional usurpation of private enterprise?
I’m sure Bill Clinton is winking and nodding. I can see the headline now: “It depends on what the meaning of the phrase ‘crossed the line’ is.”
Hate to break it to you Thacker – but yes he did break laws. Laws far far more important than those of the USA or the state of SC. He broke GOD’s laws. Willfully, repeatedly.
His deal is before GOD on that one.
(Lest you think I’m casting stones out of turn, don’t blame me – I didn’t make up GOD’s laws, I didn’t even write them down. Nor do I always adhere to them as I should. Only by the grace of GOD has a payment for my sins been made.)
Now concerning his governing, do you really want to make “legal” the acceptance standard?
There are many many ideas and activities that are legal but bad.
I’m sorry you can’t see the moral decline of our country as being even more serious than any other problem we have.
Tell the basturd what you think HERE.
Be patient.. this page loads slowly (guess why)
All ya’lls just playah-hatehs.
Sanford’s just hittin’ what he can while he’s still got his pimp thizzle.
Its about time we live up to the democrat’s ethics and let him stay. I am disappointed in him, but Clinton stayed? I live in SC and we do not want the Lt. Gov in power. I pretty much have thrown in the towel for all unethical politicians unless its a common man. Eventually it gonna come to the GOP that we have to play the same game ethically as the democrats. All the lying, cheating, backstabbing going on from the party of peace love and communism. If we do thing by the book we will never beat these people. I know we have morals, ethics and manner, and say we are sorry all the time. But if we keep throwing our people off the bus who will be left?
I just wish he would go so we can make room on the front page for something more important. When the MSM has a Republican to talk about, they can ignore that theft of our country by the Dems.
Well… just maybe someone with a strong character who has watched the absurdity of our political situation, will recognize that the voters want moral leaders who want to this country great again…
So yes, under the bus Mark Sanford, ‘cuz you don’t even come close to making the grade…

It’s like listening to SLICK WILLIE CLINTON lying and trying to talk his way out of the consequences of his actions.
***
This slimeball should be booted out–if not by impeachment by the voters at the next election.
***
By the way–does anyone else notice that Sanford’s Wife and his VIEJA LOCA (”loose woman”) in Espanol–look very similar? Deja Vu all over again? And how our politicians of all parties soon start serving their own ego desires instead of serving the people who elected them?

“This derelict should review what happened to Blago in Illinois.”
Maybe the two of them can have their own early morning drivetime talk radio show. Does Air America have any of those? That would certainly assure that we never hear from either of them again. LOL
Which is it? Is he going to affect our lives as GOP Presidential nominee, or not? If he doesn’t resign, and the SC legislature refuses to remove him, then what? Are you suggesting that we need him to represent the GOP or conservatism?
No, thanks.
Sanford: “Wait a mizzle! I’m getting dizzy from all da vizzy in da hizzy!
Besides, I’m on a mission from God!”
Sanford should resign when …
… when Barney Frank resigns for having homosexual prostitution run from his residence.
Let’s push ‘em both out.
You want him to get off the stage because he attracts attention to the strong morals shared by all conservative Republicans. Eliot Spitzer had the grace to resign. And Spitzer did not run on a platform of personal moral rectitude.
Sanford has done more damage to the institution of marriage than the gay rights movement.
Some of still care about the breaking of God’s laws. Furthermore, the damage he’s done to the GOP is enormous. Damage done to the GOP is damage done to the country. That’s something even you should care about.
Someone take my temperature: I actually agree with lgm!
Point well taken, righton.
The biggest tax increase in the history of the world has passed the House and is coming up in the Senate, and the dems now have a super majority.
The Sanford soap opera as well as the Jackson circus are diversions from the crisis.
Thanks for comic relief. Yeah, those ethical classy dems; always have the grace to resign. Don’t let the facts get in the way of your fantasies chuckles:

Spitzer was using illegal call girls while cracking down on illegal call girls. There’s (sadly) no law against adultery.
My thoughts exactly!
Clinton didn’t resign, even though the President reflects the nation’s moral compass, and we survived. So why hold Sanford to a different standard?
After all, Sanford has the same fiscal conservative viewpoints he did when were celebrating his stand against accepting TARP funds just a few weeks ago. That hasn’t changed.
Wow!! I’m glad they don’t get that excited in Louisville, KY.
Actually, Marco Polo, Spitzer was cracking down on “sex tours” while indulging in sex tours himself. And, yes, he was running on personal moral rectitude by passing himself off as an upright family man. He was and remains a phony and a fraud.
American Idol hasn’t started yet.
You are demented.
I would say give us his phone numbers, personal, public, cell numbers, home numbers, his wife’s numbers, and any other numbers. They should be matters of record somewhere. Then harass the son-of-a-b until he resigns. I don’t want to hear any apologies. He’s a m-f-ing creep that deserves to be hounded into hell. The nerve, the f—–g nerve! He’s trash. And he has trashed his family.
Ok, I’m gonna be sorry I even bothered to ask, but how do you figure this??
These stupid assholes, meaning of course ThackerAgency and Sanford, are the reason we have the the government we are now living with, or dying with, as the case may be.
…cause you know, he would cross the line. Habitually. He’s a habitual line crosser.
——-
Must be something about holding public office, it makes women interested in these office-holders, and the office-holders seem to have lost their ability to make good decisions.
He should resign.
Adultery is illegal in South Carolina and is punishable by fine and imprisonment. Though no one has been prosecuted for it for las 100 years or so. But it is illegal.
Personally I don’t want political figures to resign for fooling around as long as they vote the right way.
He “crossed the line” with other women now? Is he speaking metaphorically? As in “south of the equator”? As in “the big Lewinsky”?
Where do you draw the line?
a. accepting bribes
b. preying on young interns/pages
c. insider trading
d. leaving a woman to drown in the bottom of a creek
It’s hard to believe that we have people who read and comment on this website that have beliefs like this turkey and the other person who I quoted above in another comment.
The philosophy shown by these two is as repugnant as the Sanfords, Kennedys, Obamas, Stalins, et. al.
Where and when were you people educated? It’s starting to sound like George Orwell here.
They have the morals of lobbyists so they must be lobbyists.
Who cares?
Why all the commotion over the governor of a (sorry, but it’s true) relatively insignificant state?
Man, can we just get this guy out of the country?! Who needs him? Obviously not his wife!
WAIT! WAIT!
What is wrong with you people? The guv’nuh isn’t done confessing yet. Evidently he believes that we need to hear about every girl he’s ever kissed, every R-Rated movie he’s ever watched, and every other peccadillo he can think of.
“In 1985 I kissed a girl named Lisa. It was open mouth kissing. I’m ashamed.
In 1989 I danced the Lambada with a woman I was dating, followed by heavy petting and two glasses of Boone’s Farm Strawberry Wine. I’m going to burn for this, I’m sure.
In 1991 I rented Fatal Attraction, pay per view in my hotel room. I’m still waiting to go blind because of this…”
I’m guessing he’ll be done in a week or so, after he shares that he peeked down the nurse’s blouse when he was in third grade and pretended to have a “tummy ache.”
BTW, what was the nurse’s name… you did see her nametag, didn’t you…
There’s a saying in the church that the pastor’s sermons tell more about the pastor than they do of God.
So is that YOUR confession RobM1981… eh?
3rd grade nurse? No.
8th grade math teacher? You betcha!
Sierra Hotel, definitely.
The point is if a politician can’t keep his marriage vows what makes you think he’ll keep his oath of office? Sanford should resign today.
