Guess S.C. legislators can't afford trips to BrazilFollow

Classy republicans!

Whatever, former legislator, etc.

Better than buttfUCking underage boys like the rest of the family values brigade, I guess.

Is this any worse than Barney Frank f*cking Moses (not the biblical figure) from the Fannie Mae board and then saying how great fannie mae was and how they shouldn't be investigated? Then Barney receiving 10's of thousands of dollars in campaign contributions.

And here's the kicker...these people, along with liberals on this site, think the GOP was the reason behind the mtg crisis.

Looks like the article has some of their facts wrong then:

Jophed,

I would think you people would condone Sanfords actions. You backed Clinton when he lied about his marital infidelity. You used the excuse that as long as it didn't affect his job performance it shouldn't matter. You also didn't mind that it was an young intern he was doing this with.

Jophed,



How about lying to judges and the american people in an effort to cover your indiscretions?

Hrmm...

Nope.

The judicial process certainly would. The cheating in and of itself doesn't affect job performance.

We should be fair to the guy in the article, however. I mean, he was on his lunch break; it's not like he was working at the time. I believe it's not fair that he was fired, but hey, not my office, not my rules.

Edit: In the same way, Sanford wouldn't be affected if he had an affair in general. But the particulars made it a terrible decision, for all the reasons given before. The affair DID directly affect his performance.

No, the trial did. Getting blowjobs did not.

And it's an ordeal now to get sucked off? Man, I realize that Tennessee is bad at football, but to think the co-eds are bad are blowjobs... well, that sucks!

What Locke said. What affected the nation was the politically motivated perjury trial that came out of the completely failed Whitewater investigation. Sadly, it didn't work for the GOP with Clinton receiving wide support and leaving office with a phenomenal 66% approval rating.

Jophed,

And you don't think the attacks against Sanford are politically motivated?

As a matter of fact I'd say Clintons lies directly affected the entire nation; whereas Sanfords only affect SC.

Locked,

I know you're kind of young so you probably think bosses sleeping with secretaries and interns is the "cool" thing to do but let me assure you that if any ceo of any corporation had done what slick willy did he would have been fired on the spot.

It was more than simply lying about a bj. It was about the leader of this country lying his as* off to save his own skin. He didn't care who he lied to or what he was lying about. A person of that kind of character should have been immediately removed from office. But like so many Democrat politicians he'd rather die than admit he did something wrong and step down.

LOL.
