Maybe this will give him time to contemplate what he has done to his family. It should be a good time for reading his Bible. Didn’t he compare himself to Job??? Start with that book. Wonder how he’s doing “trying to fall in love” with his wife. What a slap in the face that was! Just think, now he doesn’t have to ask his wife if he can go visit his soul mate.
She won’t even know he’s gone.
Good riddance.
i have NO sympathy for Gov. Sanford AT ALL….......HE MADE HIS BED NOW HE HAS TO LAY IN IT….BY HIMSELF….I’M SOOO PROUD OF MRS. SANFORD FOR LEAVING HIM… HIS IS NOT A GOOD EXAMPLE FOR HIS CHILDREN AND I HOPE WHEN HIS TERM IS OVER - SHE DIVORCES HIM - AND LEAVES HIM HIGH AND DRY….TAKE EVERYTHING SHE CAN GET OUT OF HIM - DRAIN HIM - BURN HIM A NEW BUNKIE-HOLE LIKE SHE SHOULD - BUT MOST OF ALL TAKE CARE OF THOSE BOYS WHICH IT SEEMS IS HER PRIORITY NOW !!!!! ATA GIRL
cry us a river govener sanford. the only reason you dont want to do politics is bc you know we wont vote for you. is there any of our leaders that can do right by us?
PARKER49…I believe standing by your mate in the bad times means in sickness and health, for richer or poorer, NOT having a mistress in Argentina for a year then pining away for your “soul-mate” like a love sick puppy before the whole world.
In Agreement here… We (the people of South Carolina) should have been his top priority as Governor, but, like his family, we are left lacking. I don’t blame Jenny for leaving him or the state of S.C. for feeling betrayed.
What good would it do for you to run for president or any other office? No one in their right minds would vote for you. Doing what you did was not enough, you just kept running your stupid mouth. No one has respect for you and you have really brought SC down. Please get out and go to Argentina for the good of SC and your family.
I would say my heart bleeds for the Governor, but why lie? He is worthless as a Governor and he is only hurting our state! If you have any decency left in your body Governor Sanford…do the right thing. RESIGN! RESIGN! RESIGN! We do not want you representing us any longer!
I bet it is lonely now that your so called wife who promised to stick by by you in the bad times as well as the good walked out on you.But putting all that a side you do need to resign for you are not doing anything for South Carolina.Maybe she will let you move in the basement of the beach house.
Lonely in the Governor’s mansion? Then go back to Argentina and frolic around with your soul-mate you Neanderthal.
