Clinton didn't resign even though Sanford called for him too. So Sanford should do what he called for Clinton to do.Clinton didn't resign -- why should Sanford?
not for the boinking, but the lying about it, and any possible misuse of govt funds or property related to it....
it is up to his wife to deal with the boinking.....I suggest the Bobbitt method be used, it is pretty much irreversible if you flush the offending part down the sewer....
DID Sanford call for Clinton to resign?Clinton didn't resign even though Sanford called for him too. So Sanford should do what he called for Clinton to do.
I'm not even discussing Clinton. What was said was Sanford though Clinton should resign. He essentially does the same, and instead of lying to a grand jury or whatever it was, he lies to the Lt. Gov his aides and his family. Judicially, Clinton did worse,but he didn't go AWOL on the state for half a week.
The reason Sanford is being hypocritical is because he called for Clinton to resign for an affair, and now he won't when he was having an affair. He needs to leave the office, and pull his family back together, but that's up to him.
Actually, why would the misuse of funds not have any valid evidence? Didn't Sanford tell the AP that he would be repaying the state for the funds used for the trips? Hmmm, thats odd I didn't know that there wasn't any evidence.The possible misuse of funds.. I love it when I hear that one.
Without any evidence of actual misuse of funds this argument doesn't have merit.

I agree with you, but playing devil's advocate regarding the Clinton thing, it may be that now that he has committed a similar act, he doesn't see that what he did is worthy of resigning. Stated differently, he may see the error of his advice now that he has been in Clinton's shoes (doesn't think that an affair should impact his ability to govern). Maybe?
Unquestionably, I think Sanford should resign. The AWOL incident is why--not the affair.
What's the "affair" got to do with it?
Clinton was impeached because he committed a felony and abused the power of the Presidency to cover it up. The "affair" was only relevant because it's what he committed perjury over, and what the stains on the fat broad's blue dress proved was perjury.
What felonies has Sanford been proven to commit?
Misuse of state funds for personal business? Its that a felony? Don't know.

He hasn't commited a felony, but he has done something wrong. As the leader of a state, you can't just go off to Argentina without even telling anyone. That's why he's in trouble.
Everything else he has to deal with his family, and it should stay in his family.

The trip (singular) was a valid business trip where Argentina was not the only stop in the trip, which was a deal with the US Commerce department.
The governor was pre-emptively telling everyone to STFU by repaying it before people alledged that he wasn't actually working while there since he had spare time to go out boinking hot Argentinians.
So because someo politicians are scumbags, that makes it ok? Shoudn't we demand a higher standard from our leaders? Shouldn't we work to change this precendent rather than just giving politicians a free pass?
Ok, I have to make a point here. Adolf Hitler brought his state out of a giagantic recession, reduced unemployment, reduced criminal prosecutions, and envigorated a nation. Not the most moral chap, but according to you....
I know it is rather cliched, but this is where your logic could lead.

You mean outside the fact that Sanford has agreed to re-imburse the state for his personal use of state funds?
I can't believe this poll is a 50/50 split. I thought this would have been a no-brainer. I wish this was a public poll so we could see who voted how. I am willing to bet the majority if not all of the no votes are Republicans.
Do you see your governor as a moral leader or the government leader of your state?
I had this same opinion about Gavin Newsom. If your elected leader runs your state/city/country well, is poor personal life decisions reason to throw them out?
Would he have done that had he not been caught?
what about the mis-use of state funds for the trip?He hasn't commited a felony, but he has done something wrong. As the leader of a state, you can't just go off to Argentina without even telling anyone. That's why he's in trouble.

If it was a planned business trip then why did nobody know where he was for a week?!?!The trip (singular) was a valid business trip where Argentina was not the only stop in the trip, which was a deal with the US Commerce department.

Remember though, he did request Argentina be added to the itinerary for that trip, which does make you go "hmmm".
