I can’t help but harp on the utter hypocrisy of those family values loving ass-holes in the Republican Party. Governor Mark Sanford of South Carolina is just another example in a long line of recent examples showing what real Republicans are made of.
Sanford especially irks me because he is forever on TV playing Mr. Know-it-all, holier-than-thou, setting himself up for a run at the presidency.
His wife apparently knew about the “affair” but he told her he would end it and she took him at his word. He then disappears not even telling his staff where to find him. Some thought he was taking a solitary, long hike to clear his mind and talk to God but as it turns out, he took a solitary trip to Argentina (using tax-payer money) to get some sack time with his mistress; imagine that.
He is now comparing himself to the Biblical King David who was smitten by his general’s wife, had the general killed, married the lady, was punished by God but rose to greatness anyway.
Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the esteemed members of the GOP; God's Own Party.
Don’t get me wrong, I am a conservative on most issues but I don’t pretend to be a saint and tell others how to behave and unless the GOP gets some “real” leaders that actually think with their upper “heads”, the party will lack all credibility for a long time.
On the other hand, reading some of the right-wing, anti-Obama crap sent to my email box on a daily basis, the GOP probably does have a large following of Americans that feel their behavior is just fine; imagine that.
