Sanford Should Practice What He Preaches

South Carolina Governor, Mark Sanford(R) tearfully admitted to having an affair during a press conference on June 24th. Sanford, has confirmed that he was having an extramarital relationship with an Argentine woman. The affair apparently has been ongoing for nearly a year.

The major problem that I have with this announcement is that Sanford has never been one to shy away from his religious views. Sure everyone makes mistakes and Lord knows that nobody is perfect. However, I feel it necessary to call Sanford out on one issue. Remember, Bill Clinton?

During Monica-Gate, Sanford was one of the more outspoken leaders who called for Bill Clinton to resign his position as president, due to his "immoral actions which disgraced the office of the presidency." Now the roles are reversed and Sanford suddenly has a change of heart, he has said that he will not resign from the Governorship. Sorry Mark, you can't have it both ways!

Another sad note to pass on about this whole incident, is that Sanford was a leading candidate for the GOP in 2012. His tough stance on T.A.R.P. funds, conservative fiscal policy and strong record would have carried him a long way. Now the GOP can scratch his name off the list and deservedly so.

Just goes to prove that whether you are a Democrat or a Republican, the rooster will eventually come home to roost!
