Yeah, Mark, the media are just going to drop this now that you are the second GOP member in less than a month to admit to an affair.
For all this talk about protecting marriage from "the gays", seems like marriage should be protected from Republicans.
And, like all Republicans who are overtly eager to get let their voices be heard when someone on the opposite side of the aisle gets caught, Sanford had some words to say about Bill Clinton and Congressman Bob Livington. I'm sure those words are haunting him right now.
The bottom line, though, is I am sure there will be a lot of legalistic explanations pointing out that the president lied under oath. His situation was not under oath. The bottom line, though, is he still lied. He lied under a different oath, and that is the oath to his wife. So it’s got to be taken very, very seriously

We ought to ask questions…rather than circle the wagons for one of our tribe.

I think it would be much better for the country and for him personally (to resign). I come from the business side. If you had a chairman or president in the business world facing these allegations, he’d be gone.

The issue of lying is probably the biggest harm, if you will, to the system of Democratic government, representatives government, because it undermines trust. And if you undermine trust in our system, you undermine everything.

And as if on cue, the chyron on Fox"News" during the press conference had something interesting to say about Sanford.
