I think it’s better not to even worry about the left. Who cares what they do? Of course this is going to be covered by the media. It’s big news. Just like Edwards was.

The point is Erick was right at the time of his post. And yes it’s a little funny in light of what happened. But he’s right that nobody, NOBODY could have known where he really was or what he was doing and Erick wasn’t drawing any conclusions yet.

Yes, I’m afraid that we can tell.

Bye now. Be sure to remember this exchange six months from now.

Here is the deal. Your little nitwit buddy Obama and the Democrats have set this country on a course to absolute economic ruin. Period.

So one of two things happens – either the country wises up, and kicks your little fetid rumps out of office, which means victory for Republicans, or it continues down the course to ruin, which means it won’t matter anyway.

Any further questions?

if you are a Republican in office you can expect the press to blow up the most innocuous activities into scandals.

Or not.

Jack Savage,

Don’t you have to be verging on victorious for this expression to apply? Note: the Republicans have lost for the last two election cycles, no polling shows any sign of this getting any better soon, people trust insurance companies more than the GOP, and, as unpopular as Republicans are amongst whites, they perform even worse amongst every non-white group in the electorate:

So which victory do you perceive yourself, your party, and your ideological movement to be within bite range of?

Like I stated, Republicans look stupid, when Republicans ignore the obvious. Sanford behavior was very odd. That should have been obvious.

Republicans got suckered into defending his everyone important knew about his “Appalachian Trail” hike. Ending up in Buenos Aires was not reasonable and no journalist worth his would not have asked questions. That’s not tabloid, that’s newsworthy.

But still, you were right about the dumbass part.

Calculate their carbon footprints. Expose their failures to sort their recyclables. Show photos of their gas guzzling cars, etc. It just wouldn’t have the same audience draw as a good old fashioned sex scandal.

Sigh.

…regardless of their party affiliation. When we see a situation this extreme, we can’t give them the benefit of the doubt, even if they’re “our guy.”

I honestly didn’t think that Mark Sanford was having an affair. I just thought he was stupid for not telling his staff (and his wife) where he was going.

Turned out you were more right than you knew.

On the other side? Not so much.

We expect so much more from Republicans, and that’s why this will be front page news for days.

It’s great not to have any standards – maybe we should take a play from that playbook.

Now let’s move on?

Barack Obama is a miserable failure.

Joe Biden is an embarrassment to America.

Nancy Pelosi is a corrupt moron.

Blago is still a crook.

IN HIS FREEZER Jefferson is still a crook.

Byrd is still a Klansman serving as Senate President pro-tem.

I was just thinking about him earlier.

Can we all just say that Mark Sanford is STUPID!!!!!!!!

If Sanford were one of my friends, I would ask him to get therapy. Immediately.

When on earth will these elected idiots realize how much this hurts the cause they profess to believe in? How hard is it not to have an affair?
