Why don’t you wingnuts ever admit when one of your GOP elected officials screws up? He shouldn’t resign for boinking some chick. He should resign because he lost his pathetic court case and slithered away in embarassment without telling anyone where he was. He should resign for throwing education under the bus by not wanting to accept the stimulus money. But that’s the GOP way – Keep the voters dumbed down and fill them full of lies.

BOSCH–

I’ll watch that indefinate article if you’ll tell me what one is. And…I dont’ know the Code of Hammurabi either.

Indefinte article, “a, an”

Code of Hammurabi–google it…brought from Mesoptamia via Abraham of Ur which in turn gave rise to the principles on which the Judeo-Greco-Roman, Anglo-Norman, Anglo-American branch of Western Civilization is based. As Granddaddy said when teaching it to us, “it matters very little what you think about it, it’s the basis of the legal system under which you live and your opinions will mean very little in a court of law.”

MM, I kind of disagree with your assessment. Sanford shouldn’t resign for any of those reasons. He should resign for dereliction of duty.

He’s allowed to sue. He’s allowed to slither away for a few days. He simply needs to be clear and upfront with his staff & SLED. (you can still tell the press / public “nunya biz”… but his staff shouldn’t be putting out false statements. If they don’t know, they simply need to say “we don’t know” and deal. Not take a guess about him being in the AT.)

THAT is the offense, IMHO. Not the adultery, not the slinking off. That’s his biz. But giving the slip to SLED & having your office put out false statements (some of us call this “lying”) is a fatal blow.

“This is “very damaging stuff,” Sanford declared at one point, when details of Clinton’s conduct became known. “I think it would be much better for the country and for him personally (to resign)… I come from the business side,” he said. “If you had a chairman or president in the business world facing these allegations, he’d be gone.”

Explaining his decision to back impeachment articles against Clinton, he added, “I think what he did in this matter was reprehensible… I feel very comfortable with my vote.”

It’s the hypocrisy stupid.

Resign.

All I got to say to the men on this blog is, Don’t let your wife get anywhere near a politican, no matter what party he belongs to. And don’t write nothing in a e-mail you don’t want to share with the whole world. Heck, don’t even write nothing on this blog you would be ashamed to have people know it was you that wrote it. You never know what paper or TV station is rooting around right now trying to find out your real name.

I agree with you, Jay, Clinton should have resigned because he lied about his relationship with “that woman.” But the correct quote was “I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Ms. Lewinsky.”

And as I’ve writtten here before, he was right. If he had she wouldn’t have been crying on Tripp’s shoulder. And for the record, again, she was a 22-year-old ex-intern at the time.

lol DB. I’m just saying, he could have apologized to everybody. Singling out “people of faith” and giving them an “extra special shout out” was strategically pointless and actually counterproductive.

The problem is, that LEGALLY Ken Lay should not have been asking about Lewinsky AT ALL. Courts have ruled against the application of personal private life to try to have an elected official removed from office many times in the past starting during George Washington’s presidency, and they have been deemed as inadmissible in all cases.

There is no legal precedent for doing so. Getting him to lie under oath by asking a question which the courts have ruled should not play a part in determining a presidents qualifications for office OR anything to do with his job performance should simply have been thrown out of consideration to begin with.

In fact Hamilton turned over his love letters to the wife of a man who was blackmailing him over this, as proof that he was not involved in a counterfeiting scam that the woman’s husband was involved with. When Hamilton;s enemies tried to have him removed from office as Secretary of the Treasury, Congress ruled that an elected or appointed official could not be removed from office on the grounds of his personal life. Still Hamilton resigned because of the continual public scandal which were the result of his political enemies having the letters printed in every newspaper in the nation. But the principal established by Congress was to stay out of a persons personal life.

What’s the big deal about Sanford anyway? As with Clinton, why should his private affairs automatically negate his obviously outstanding political career/talent?

GGG:

How much discussion can be had about a politician gone astray. It’s not like it doesn’t happen everyday or at least it seems that way.

Mark Sanford.

Leaders within the GOP are calling for his resignation.

The Media (L) are enjoying a field day to distract from Obama impending failures.

The voters of S.C. should have the final say. They voted him in. If they’ve lost confidence, for whatever reason, they should be given the opportunity to vote him out next go-round.

To me it’s pretty simple.

We can talk this party or that party but the bottom line is they feel a sense of entitlement. Why shouldn’t they?….too many of us make them feel all too important.

NJ at 3:28 “I don’t care who my auto mechanic is screwing if he can fix my car. I don’t care who my president, governor or senator is screwing as long as they are capable of doing their job. If they are capable of doing both at the same time, the more power to them. In fact those who can usually have made better presidents than the simpering moralizing idiots who cant.”

Thank you for clarifying the liberal position when it comes to moral issues. A couple of questions though: If you’re so amoral, why does hypocrisy bother you? I mean if you’re okay with adultery, why not hypocrisy? Would you not care if the adultery were taking place with your spouse, sibling, parent, etc.?

It’s not that (most) liberals are immoral or amoral, it’s that they are selectively moral in the classic postmodern sense.

Twenty years later we’re still arguing over “Family Values”…what does it mean and who’s got ‘em.

“Family Values” is another nonsensical phrase of buzzwords, meant to stimulate an emotional response, but in reality means different things to different folks – even among Republicans. Clearly.

File it along with their other nonsensical gems like “Culture of Life.”

Any day of the week I will put my stock in the person who simply does the right thing, whether it is by his family or his colleagues. And they’re found on both sides of the political spectrum.

The only reason disgraced and indiscrete republicans invite so much ridicule is because, since Reagan, the party has hitched its wagon to the religious extremists. It isn’t that Democrats don’t have any more or less morals than Republicans; it’s just that Democrats haven’t come down the pike making a big, brayin’, prayin’-in-public deal about their piety.

I’ll share a bit of a quote from Charles Swindoll. This has been on my desk for ages, and sums up my thoughts about personal strength:

“Courage is not limited to the battlefield or the Indianapolis 500 or bravely catching a thief in your house.

“The real tests of courage are much deeper and much quieter.

“They are the inner tests, like remaining faithful when nobody’s looking, like enduring pain when the room is empty, like standing alone when you’re misunderstood.”

How many of our politicians have that kind of courage?
