Not every topic is about abortion. Start a thread if you like. Do you have a comment on Governor Horndog?

Yet another cheating GOP politician liar

The left can rejoice about this, if they want, but the idea that this is worse than a democrat scandal because of the family values deal is absolutely insane.
Sorry, friend, but you opened the door in the OP when you brought up "family values".
So fidelity is the only family value that you care about?
Murdering one's own children is not contrary to your "family values"?
I am a monogamous heterosexual and I'm coming out of my closet. I demand to be heard. Has anyone seen a TV camera? Okay, how about a microphone?
I have a template for the next politician's news announcement:
(insert title of office) (insert full name) (insert political party) of (insert name of home State) admitted to an extra marital affair today. (insert name) was surrounded by his (insert inventory of family in attendance).
"I have hurt (list potential family and friends who you hurt but now expect to "stand by your man"). (List numerous ways others have contributed to your downfall without admitting to any personal responsibility) I am severely disappointed in myself and ask for your forgiveness."
That should cover it for the next few weeks."I have hurt (list potential family and friends who you hurt but now expect to "stand by your man"). (List numerous ways others have contributed to your downfall without admitting to any personal responsibility) I am severely disappointed in myself and ask for your forgiveness."
In all seriousness, I am less concerned with his politics at this point and more concerned for his family. Adultery is not an unforgivable sin. The consequences are widespread and I'm mindful of the hurt he has caused in his own household.

Typical childish post from the peanut gallery. Do you have a substantive comment on the thread's topic?
It boggles my mind to see people get in a GOP v Democrat fight. Wake up people! Nearly all of the politicians we have sent to Washington with our votes are liars, hypocrites, immoral, self-centered, covetous, self preservationists that try to milk as much out of the government as they can while doing the least. The difference between the right and the left as far as congress goes? A few ideas. Both are sadly immoral. While the GOP looks immoral for running on "family values" and turning out to be typical Washington politicians, there is really no difference. Doesn't it bother you that the people that are supposed to represent us are this immoral?
You might as why are we repeatedly getting people like this. I believe, and I could be wrong about this, that it is primarily due to the system. For one thing, you need a good solid base of money before you can run for Congress or President. That pretty much insures that you have a great chance of ending up with a greedy person willing to do what it takes to make a buck, who has long ago sold out integrity for self gain and self preservation. In other words, the perfect politician. Has no problem lying to the people to get votes, has no problem buying votes, has no problem failing to fullfill campaign promises, has no problem betraying the oaths he swore in order to insure his re-election. On top of that, if one is honest during a campaign and tries to run a clean campaign, odds are that person will be ripped to shreds.
Basically, we the people need to take back our political system from the immoral morons we have elected now. We need more servants and less royalty wishing to serve their own interests.

Funny how some can condemn a sinful man for infidelity, but idolize a liar like Obama.
The Bible's condemnation of lies and liars is arguably more powerful than it is for adultery.
Are you suggesting that Sanford was not lieing when he said was hiking the AT? Are you saying he was not lieing when he told his wife he was faithful?
The problem is the GOP has campaigned on 'family values,' taking the moral high road. That makes it worse in the eyes of the public. Pointing out others sins .... Sanford did say that Clinton should resign ... while basically commiting the same immorality is very bad.
Those who take the moral high road best not have feet of clay.
Ahh yes - as you show yourself to have feet of clay by pontificating on this board while having voted for the abortionist in chief.
I don't remember exactly what Sanford said about Clinton, but most pointed out that Clinton was abusing his power by being involved with someone who worked under him, doing it in the oval office, and then lying about it under oath. So far as I know, Sanford did none of those things.
Sanford is completely wrong and without excuse. But the sins are not the same.
I don't see how any Christian can align themselves with a political party right now. Both are immoral, wordly, and have long ago sold whatever integrity they had for votes. I'm fed up with both parties. To defend one over the other at this point is ridiculous. Those that defend the Democrats, think about the party you are affilliating yourself with. Those that defend the Republicans, they are hypocrites, liars, and adulterers too. We Americans are reaping what we have sown, long ago selling out the American system of government for laziness. And still we continue to refuse to turn to God to heal our land.
As I recall most Dems excused Clinton's lies saying that it was only about s*x and that matters of s*x were private.
Clinton himself said repeatedly that he had to get back to the business of the people - so why are Dems calling for Sanford to resign? Shouldn't they be saying the this is all just a distraction and that Sanford should be getting back to the work of the people?

The Wash Post story reported staffers who said he often acted "holier than thou." He was in a Bible study group, apparently dealing with this issue of the affair, and he claimed he let them down.
His mistake came right at the beginning - he should not have asked for the email of this woman, or he should have given it to his wife and asked his wife to comfort the woman.
I know of so many cases where a married man "comforts" a divorced/separated woman and ends up in an affair with her. When will people learn? If you are married, you do not have intimate talks with someone of the opposite sex who is not your mate.

Join the club! I've been fed up with both parties my whole life, especially since becoming a Christian.
No one can deny that the GOP was/is the party touting family values, trying to hold up high moral standards, and courting conservative Christians.
I agree with all that, but CBT was talkign about Sanford's calling on Clinton to resign. If he called on Clinton to resign merely and only because of his extra-marital relationship, then he should resign as well. If Sanford said it was the right thing for Clinton to do, it is the right thing for Sanford to do.
The Dems have no room to call on Sanford to resign.
True for the most part. I don't recall Rudy advocating such high moral standard.
Not that I am giving him a pass for what he did, at least he is not a hypocrite in that area.
Keep in mind, he may become our next Governor.
