GOP don't have to do anything, it's the Democrats who really need to sort themselves out.

Someone once asked me why...

My response was the politicians are built to tell you what you want to hear and not to keep their promises...

It is no wonder they cannot keep promises to their spouses either...

Sad testament to the state of marriage vows...

Good man, actually using his sexual organs once in awhile. (Unlike most politicians :rotfl

I think it is funny... I mean This loser was one of the guys after Clinton for getting a hummer and he dumps his family and asks for forgivness. What a douche.

I guess I'll go ahead and touch the third rail here....

Was Governor Sanford one of those who said that gay marriage was a threat to the sanctity of marriage?

He's not alone. This is the calibre of people running this country.

Fox "News" has a long history of labeling embattled politicians as Dems.

John McCain - Democrat
Joe Lieberman - Democrat
Arlen Spector - Democrat (when he was still a Republican!)
Mark Foley - Democrat

Shame, dont know about the 'hack' part but he is one of the few goveners whom resisted the stimulus money but in the end subcommed to the pressure from the feds.

Guess he had other things on his mind.

No matter his carrier is done. When a republican does this sort of thing its lights out.

What public office does Rudy Guiliani holds atm? How about Gingrich? I'll even bet Vitter doesn't win reelection next year either. That leaves John McCain whose infidelity occurs long before he even ran for office.

Surely you can come up with better examples than that dude.

Guiliani ran for president last year and is on Fox all the time. Gingrich is being floated as a nominee in 2012 and is also on Fox all the time. Vitter is still a senator, and McCain was the GOP nominee last year.

Pretty far from "lights out."

Look at the famous Dems who were caught up in that sort of thing: McGreevy? Gone. Gary Hart? Where is he now? John Edwards? Done. Spitzer? Gone. Gary Condit? Gone.

Jack Kennedy and Clinton, yeah I'll give you them. But this latest right wing talking point about how "Republicans don't stand for this sort of thing" is not based in reality.

Add Barney Frank to that list.

Now i'll grant you that it's not as black and white as Steam implied but at least the Republicans look at such infidelities as a negative whereas the Dems generally don't.
