Which only shows how sad and divisive partisans have become. So much for
the whole diatribe during the Clinton years the GOP threw about about how "Character matters!!111111!!!!!" Guess not.
Why should I care? I don't live in their district or their state. They can elect someone who will disappear down in
South America for a while, or someone who is related to a television personality. I don't care.
I hear its nice in SC, you should give the move a good once over.
You know, keep Texas Conservative.
Ex-SC Gov. Sanford back in political office
Former Republican South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford revived a scandal-scarred political career by winning back his old congressional seat Tuesday in a district that hasn't elected a Democrat in three decades.
The comeback was complete when he defeated Democrat Elizabeth Colbert Busch, the sister of political satirist Stephen Colbert. With 87 percent of the precincts reporting, Sanford had 54 percent of the vote.
too ****in funny to see this level of partisan blindness.
Both wrong. Well...wrong and a half. Lying under oath...bad. Lying under oath while on trial of sexual harassment for jerking off in front of a campaign staffer and asking her to kiss it. Well...thats kinda an issue. Allegations of rape and sexual assault...those kinda matter too. Getting a blow job from someone he classified as a child...well...that just makes him a douchebag. But....a decent president and one I would vote in tomorrow if it were possible, considering who we have as available options.The Clinton issue was never character; it was lying under oath.

Of course. Who doesn't remember "The Penis President". Clinton should have been removed from office, but Democrats supported him. But here is the deal - The very same people who attacked Clinton support someone who used taxpayer funds to cheat on his wife. If the people of South Carolina want to be holier than thou assholes, no problem. But they should apply their assholishness equally. They don't. Why? Because they are hypocritical assholes. Attack the Democrats, while supporting Republicans that do exactly the same thing. On the other hand, Democrats fit into the same mold. Here they are, attacking the douche bag who used taxpayer funds to cheat on his wife, but when Clinton was in office, they supported him, and cried foul when Republicans went after him.
Here is the deal. Political animals of all stripes, whether Democrats or Republicans are ALL douche bags. America deserves better.... On the other hand, if We the People refuse to change, and demand better of BOTH Republicans and Democrats, then We the People deserve exactly what We the People get.

Name one other virtue or characteristic she possessed that made her a qualified candidate. Even one of her biggest supporters, the HuPo introduced her as "Elizabeth Colbert Busch, the sister of political satirist Stephen Colbert". The only other previous public interest in her from the past involves a mug shot.Why is her only virtue being related to Stephen Colbert?
Don't kid yourself.Actually it was religious right whack jobs exerting their influence over republicans to participate in a blatant witch hunt. If republicans had a brain, they would have gone after him for national security purposes. He put himself in a position to be bribed.
Instead the religious right does what it always does, it attempts to legislate morality.
A Dem propaganda meme.
WASHINGTON, DC — The Republican National Committee announced today it will be removing the much-hyped “Family Values” agenda from its platform.
Since the early 1980s, when President Reagan and former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich gave birth to the so-called “Republican Revolution,” conservatives have campaigned on the vague term as a way to lure religious extremists to their cause.
But that “term” has weighed heavily on Republican politicians, who have found it burdensome to conduct their own lives in accordance with the lofty values it espouses.
“It’s just too difficult,” said Gingrich, who is currently married to his third wife, whom he met while he was married to his second wife. “Trying to push an idea that is contrary to our nature is not good for the party.”
Don't kid yourself.
It was opportunistic establishment types who used the "religious right" to do their dirty work. Clinton presented a target of opportunity and the Republicans pounced. It worked, too. G.W. Bush became the next President.

The funny thing about this post(other than the fact that the point went right over your head) is that it is obvious that you actually believe that the Democrats somehow don't have just as many fleas.:lol:You have to love the right wing apologists. As if you would ever admit falling prey to your religious right bedfellows? Y'all got up with fleas.

After graduating, she completed a South Carolina State Ports Authority business development internship, and worked for Associated Maritime Industries Inc, as a liaison between the AMI and the U.S. Federal and State Governments.[17] She then worked as the Regional Director for Sales and Marketing and the Director of Business Development at Orient Overseas Container Line (OOCL), where she was responsible for international maritime relations and South Atlantic and North American sales.[18][19] She left OOCL in 2008, when she was hired to be the Director of Business Development at Clemson University’s Restoration Institute, described by the Charleston Post and Courier as “the school’s corporate matchmaker” for the University’s development projects for wind turbine testing, water studies, and renewable energy.[17][20] Colbert Busch also works as the Director of Sales and Marketing Clemson’s Wind Turbine Drivetrain Testing Facility.[21]
Colbert Busch is a founder and former member of the Executive Board of Directors of Charleston Women in International Trade, and former member of the College of Charleston’s Business College Alumni Advisory Board.[22] She’s also served as chairwoman of the 2006 S.C. International Trade Conference, the chairwoman of the Maritime Association Port of Charleston and is board member of the Charleston Metro Chamber of Commerce.[23][24]"

Public interest is not a credential, especially when that interest is largely scandalous, as in Sanford's case. Aside from being an ethically ambiguous ideologue, I don't see what qualifies Sanford as a candidate.
As for Busch:
