To be completely candid for a moment, I thought that those emails were completely hot…OK, now, you can gag me with a tennis ball.

Actually, the hypocrisy is in watching Obama Party puppets like Buckeye demand that Sanford resign when they screamed that Clinton shouldn’t.

the only reason everyone was fixated on Sanford is his overt hypocrisy. He’s such a “defender” of marriage and his stance against Clinton in the ’90s makes him such an easy target to pick on. That he wanted the president to resign due to his affair and now not resigning himself shows exactly why the gop is in such trouble: hypocrisy.

He’s probably one of a few people alive that’s glad Michael Jackson died; the story’s no longer about Sanford.

The problem my friends, is the hypocrisy of “Family Values” politicians and ministers who keep falling of the wagon. Sanford excoriated Clinton, citing the need for “moral legitimacy” in office. What’s good for the goose. . . .

I would bet that if Obama had an affair (you know the media would be there), it would be a PayPerView event.

i think sanford sounds truly lovesick.

he still should have put on his big boy pants and long ago picked one life over another.

my fury is that he has handed yet another stick to the left with which to beat us.

At this moment, the eyes of this country should be fixed on the horrific events coming from that company and the struggle for freedom[Iran]

I agree that the country has much more imporant things to focus on, but you and Simon miss the most important one.

Nancy Pelosi is trying to push through the biggest tax and regulatory increase in American history, otherwise known as “Cap and Trade”, by tomorrow, and to do so with no debate, and no time to even read the 1,200 page bill. The bill will make electricity prices skyrocket for every American individual and business. These costs will cost Americans both directly, through much higher electric bills, and indirectly through inflation in the price of ….everything that uses energy.

And yet everyone is busy talking about Obama, Obama’s health care special, Mark Sanford, mark Sanford’s mistress, White House luau’s, Michael Jackson, and the biggest tax and regulatory increase in American history is way down the list.

I hope everyone here has told their representatives to vote against it.

…think long and hard, not just twice but a dozen times, before they indulged themselves in behavior that can only blow up in their faces.

When long and hard, I wish they’d indulge themselves with those they blow up with their faces.
