Republicans are the party of Family Values

[Lucky Pierre]

Remember Mark Sanford?

Former Gov of South Carolina who mysteriously disappeared to fly (on taxpayer expense) to fly to Argentina to fuck his mistress? The guy who cheated on his wife, betrayed his family, lied to everyone?

When he was gone, he was not available - had there been an emergency, etc.

Oh and he was a huge, vocal critic (like all Republicans were) of the Clinton/Lewinsky scandal, demanding he resign, etc?

Well.... Mr. Family Values is back....

Republican voters overwhelmingly support him to fill the empty House seat after strong finish in GOP primary

"We're completely full of shit", say Republican voters

I don't want to get all political but I remember certain sitting president getting BJs in the White House.

Oh man, I remember that too

I remember all those Republicans screaming, fist pounding, spit frothing, red faced in anger. Demanding he should resign, how immoral he was, how he lied, how he betrayed, the horrible example he set for our children....

.... you know... the same people who now are writing checks to the Mark Sanford for Congress campaign.

Good point genius

[gwartney]

So, you are saying that it's OK to be immoral if you don't make a fuss about it?

I think it's the hypocrisy he's getting at, G. Nobody's perfect, but the right-wingers tend to want to legislate their morality on everyone else, while quite often not abiding by what they would demand of others....

I hate 'em all, left, right, middle equally.

So true. I'm right of center but am getting to where I can't stand any of them regardless of party.

I know I shouldn't be surprised, but it absolutely baffles me the way this point has to be spoon feed to these fucking idiots.

"Oh, so you're saying only Republicans cheat on their wives?" No fucktard, didn't say that.

"Oh, so you're saying that it's okay for the President to fuck interns?" No fucktard, didn't say that either.


FOCUS: When Bill Clinton cheated.... YOU, Mark Sanford and every other Republican officially declared WWIII... yet... strangely... conveniently... when the shoe is on the other foot, exactly 100.00% of everything you said you were outraged about suddenly vanishes... that's fucking weird, right?

"With Clinton, I demanded he resign and I supported his impeachment because what he did was so evil and wrong", says Republican voter," with Sanford ,however, I'm not only voting for him for Congress, but I'm writing a check to donate to his campaign... remember, I'm totally full of shit, it's all about politics for me"

[I invented that]

what's your point, politicians are opportunists? welcome to 2013.

Since you don't have a response, let me make it simple for you.

If you aren't blinded by blind party loyalty, you can see that it was an international embarrassment for our president to have an extramarital affair while in office. It is also an embarrassment for a sitting governor to have an affair while in office. You forgot the married New York governor that visited whores while in office (I don't even know what party he was in.)

They are all wrong. For you to try to make hay about a Repub doing something like while ignoring the same immoralities by your own party is hypocritical, and quite frankly, ignorant.

I'm not going partisan nor trying to fuck with you, but that statement is simply not true. Most of the rest of the world is much less hung up on sex and extramarital affairs than we are in the US. If my drug-addled memory is correct, most of the world was like "WTF is wrong with the Americans, spending millions of dollars and tying up most of their government to try and destroy an extremely effective and mostly popular leader?!?!?! It's very childish at best!!!".

I don't know if the people who vote for him really care so much about his "family values," or just the fact that he has so many connections in the House.

[Cheri]

Maybe its the fact that he used taxpayer money to fund his little trips.....

[MatthewT]

since when did we give a fuck what the rest of the world thought of us

just another instance of the republicans losing their principals; and in no way the same as clinton's perjury, contempt of court, impeachment, and disbarrment

the democrats are the ruling party, and the republicans seem content to be an eternal minority party, appearing to oppose the ruling party but in reality only hiding how many oysters they're eating.

i have no representation in this government. nor do i want any.
