Quit or be impeached

I've totally given up trying to figure out what makes Mark Sanford tick! I think he's got some serious issues, he couldn't possibly be stable and do and say the stupid things he's done and said. I have no clue if he's always been this way or if it's a fairly new development since I paid little attention to him until he went missing. Who in their right mind would publicly say their mistress was their "soul mate"? Who would have the ba11s to ask his wife in front of a therapist if he could please go see his lover? If a Hollywood screenwriter tried to sell this story he or she would be laughed out of the business! This is the perfect example of truth being WAYYYY stranger than fiction! Annie

Once you get that kind of power it's hard to let go! I think they get delusional in what reality really is! What really gets me is when ( and they all say this!) they say they take full responsibility for their actions? Does anyone know exactly WTF this means? I'm fairly intelligent and still haven't figured out this statement! Are there any ramifications involved when they say this? tdemex

I'm not sure why he won't resign, call it stupid pride or maybe he just thinks that giving up one more seat to a lib is more than he can bear. He does need somebody to save him from himself. All of the liberal media is just having fun and fodder at his continuous anchoring to his job and obvious falied political career.

Hi Zephyr! I have no idea why this moron would rather face impeachment then to go with the little tiny bit of dignity that he could possibly have left if he would resign! He is really a pathetic and stupid azzhole if he thinks that things are going to change for him! He was at least being given a choice to step down and resign or face impeachment! So why didn't he take the lesser of the two evils? He has already made such a mess of his life! I feel sorry for his wife and his family as it is! Why not just face the music and leave! I guess he would rather face impeachment! He is a complete fool!

I hope that they don't play partisan politics and let Sanford get away with this. We saw this samething happen to the republican party in Ohio, we had a govenor that lied, and cheated on his taxes (he didn't cheat on his wife, but that is because no one would). Because of this his party was destroyed in the last election. So either way he will be removed from office either via impeachment, or come election time.

The only reason that I can think of for the governor not resigning is that he may feel that "the powers that be" didn't put him in office, the people did. I don't know what the standard in South Carolina is for impeachment. I haven't followed the specifics of this case. Has anyone produced any proof that the governor broke the law? I would assume that a crime would have to have been committed for him to be removed. However, as I said, I am sure about the policies in South Carolina.
