Any man who openly admits wrong doing like that is a true leader! If he is a great Governor then he must stay in office!! Otherwise half of all the elected officials must resign too!

THE 10 COMMANDMENTS
The real reason that we can't have the Ten Commandments posted in a courthouse or Congress is this -- you cannot post 'Thou Shalt Not Steal' 'Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery' and 'Thou Shall Not Lie' in a building full of lawyers, judges and politicians ... it creates a hostile work environment.

He used state funds to fly for personal reasons. He broke the law and trust of the State because of that. His personal life is his and his families business... But when he used state money to fund he personal travel he broke the law. Any other state employee caught using state funds for personal business I would think would be fired.

The infidelity isn't the issue. I agree with both sides (on the infidelity issue) that when it happens to other side, each side screams at the other for their man to go. If the misuse of taxpayer money turns out to be true, then he needs to go. The only problem for South Carolinians is that Andre Bauer (the lieutenant gov) is an even bigger idiot that we would have to deal with for what? 18 more months? Let Lucas Glover take over. The only good news to come out of our state in an eternity !!
TAS - 15 years ago
Yeah and he voted that Bill Clinton should resign when he got caught. He also voted for impeachment, now he's crying for everyone to please forgive him. He's a crooked, fake conservative, power hungry LOSER who put his own people out on the ringer when the stimulus came along just to further his own presidential aspirations. He's the one who ended up out there though. Now that is what I call a message from God. He needs to be impeached just like he voted for Bill to be impeached unless he lacks the courage of his convictions.
jazzgrrrl25 - 15 years ago
make no mistake, this isn't about the affair.
the man left the state, unannounced, for 6 days, leaving no chain of command.
who does this?
who in a position of responsibility would want to do this?
he's a self-absorbed narcissist, who has done absolutely nothing for the state during his tenure.
he was ranked the third worst governor by newsweek, he's shown no character in dealing with this and he is a burgeoning, burdening weight around the people of the state, the gop, and any hopes we may have to carry on productively are dashed until this albatross is gone.
Tim - 15 years ago
Absolutely not. This is his private life and has little to do with his ability to govern. Does anyone have all the facts about his marriage? I am conservative but even when Bill Clinton had his fling it was a private matter and should be kept that way. People are so quick to judge when they themselves are not without spot or wrinkle!

On a day we are gushing over the Kennedy who "drowned" the evidence? I don't think we are going to chastize this man while the Dem's continue to rape our nations cauffers; abort babies for third world countries and euthanize babies that are inconvenient. However, it does make a good "cover up the real story" for the MSM...the Democrats' embarassing themselves daily is just to "inconvenient" to cover. If only we could just "trust" them with our children
from age three (education lobbys) and our grandparents (AARP) and then, of course, since medicare and social security are such success stories - let's throw the rest of the healthcare onto that trash heap. Real Americans are drawing the line and NOT supporting the Trojan Horse Obamanation Care - in any form - that our foreign exchange president is so cleverly marketing - with our tax dollars. Cash for clunkers is the best example in the past week why we cannot trust these people. They couldn't plan a lemonade stand an know what is needed. Of course - though bow to our enemies. Wolf in lambskin ! pbgs
I don't think so. He has been foolish, with both his actions and his words (he couldn't stop talking to the press about his "soul mate"). I would be suprised if he was elected again, but has he done anything that merits forcing him out of office? If he hasn't done anything illegal then let this man and his family resolve this without the added pressure of political games playing.

No he should NOT resign. Andre Bauer is the boob! Lt. Gov is as pathetic as they come. He has been ticketed for speeding near the Capitol and filmed going through the lobbyist lunches several times and then sneaking a plate or two back to eat later. Lt Gov Andre' Bauer would make a huge mess out of SC. As far a Sanford, his wife will set him straight or set him loose. Actually, Sanford's wife would probably make a better Gov than her hubby or Lt Gov Bauer!
SDK alabama - 15 years ago
He holds the highest office in South Carolina. He is referred to on google searches as the Honorable Mark Sanford. I looked up the meaning of that word and this is what is reads "having personal integrity: guided by, or with a reputation for having, strong moral and ethical principles". I also searched for South Carolina code of Ethics that he may have sworn too. I could not find any. It does not appear that he broke any law so perhaps he should stay; however, from now on he should be viewed as The Govenor of South Carolina, Mark Sanford, dropping Honorable from the name since he has proven that he is not honorable.
mekabo31 - 15 years ago
I don't think he should resign over the affair, but he should resign for taking off while serving as govenor without giving notice to see his mistress, and with the allegations of abusing state time/funds to see her. Even if you disagree with that I dont' see how anyone, Rep/Dem, can argue he isn't coming off like a man in the middle of a mental breakdown. It's not like democrats are the only ones calling for his head, former republican allies have too. His rambling love confessions are disturbing.

Who cares about his love life? If president Clinton can get away with what he did, and senator Kennedy can "leave the scene" like he did, why should Gov. Sanford have to leave office? It is annoying to see horrible decisions on state government being made by the same people for 4 years at a time and they are asked to do a better job on their next term, but when a good governer makes a mistake in his personal matters he, or she, is asked to step down. If it has no effect on my life, I dont even care to hear about it!!

When the mighty Republicans, led by the a determined (and by gar we have a great constitutional crisis) Hastert?

Sorry Rob but he was on the state dollar & state time so his mistake was in his public life. Since he "confessed" he's still spent untold time on this when he should have been focusing on the state of South Carolina's needs. He should resign so that someone can come in and do the job he's been paid for. Let his people move on and concentrate on other more important things.

I'm surprised to note all those who comment and have no moral code of their own. They seem to judge other's actions by other's action. "An eye for and eye and a tooth for a tooth". The only problem with that is everyone will wind up blind and toothless. A better approach is to examine what effect the governor's actions have on others and what his actions sah to others ... not try to justify him by what other scumbags have done.
He will be forced to step down by his own party because in the last 15 years, Republicans IN GENERAL, are much more apt to purge their OFFICE HOLDERS for wrong doing than Democrats are.

He is demonstrating his extreme selfish nature. He only cares for himself. He is merely fond of his "soul mate" and certainly he hates his wife.
