Wow the GOP party is throwing him under the bus, ouch how it must feel for him, his tears are most sweet.

[danonchalant1]

Yes, yes! Sweet GOP'er tears sustain me, as they are the source of my evil powers!

[HeartT]

At the very least, he should shut up. We are getting too much information about his love life. Whether or not he used taxpayer money to finance his trist is all that affects the American people. Details of his love story are not news and this round the clock focus on that makes us all no more than voyeurs. Maybe if we, viewers, grew up, our media would follow suit.

[tahoegal]

Mark Sanford = former, and disgraced, Governor of South Carolina. Good riddance.

[citizen of the universe]

He walked off the job for five days leaving the State, he!! the country, not telling anyone where he was and he used taxpayer monies to do it. Why should he be "asked" to do anything?

[SF13]

If he leaves office it will be after a huge fight. He won't go easily. They'll have to impeach him. OMG .. the Southern Republians impeaching a sinning Christian !?!? lolol.... I'm not holding my breath on that one.

In the end, the Republicans are mad but they don't have the guts to impeach him. You betcha !

I think our Governor Sanford of SC should resign. How can this man govern our state if he cant even take care of his personal life. How can any of us in our state trust this man, he has no integrity and shows what kind of man he truly is. Its like a carnival, and to tell on the national news that his wife is really 2nd. in his life and that this mistress is his soul mate. Blah.... Mr. Sanford, do us all that live in the state of SC a favor and resign. You need to clear your head and there is no way that you can govern our state with all the stuff you are telling the world. Go to Argentina with your mistress and let someone else run our state that has a clear head and that has integrity... You sure arent from the old school by any means. Undoubtedly your marriage vows you took meant nothing and if I was your wife I would divorce you. You have humiliated her on national TV and that is so wrong. There is no way I would be second fiddle.....

I'll be staking out the Atlanta airport this weekend with videocam at the ready...

[AlaninElkGrove]

He's of more use to progressives if he stays in office (though, personally, I'd like to see the hypocrite and deserter removed from office for malfeasance)...

[Deja Peterson]

RESIGN SANFORD!!

[jazzifay]

And take your state flag with you!

[IllinoisTexan43]

If he doesn't resign, the republicans know they'll lose their 'morals' platform they pontificate from. No more finger wagging at dems if they don't urge Sanford to step down. As always, party first.

Poor guys...... there goes a golden boy being groomed for 2012 to lead this country and be "fiscally responsible". He certainly can't to the first, and certainly isn't the other. Except in denying help to his constituents.

[damebee]

Actually his wife was the brains behind his runs, congress for two terms and governor, she walked away on the second run must have known something, they say the woman behind the man should have been the governor!

[MisterHands]

This is what you get from a Republican "spiritual adviser".

Sanford "said close C.hristian friends advised him to end the affair immediately and used graphic, figurative terms on how to do so - "the first step is, you s.hoot her. You put a b.ullet through her head"

Why is Fox labeling Mark Sanford a sex addict

[learntofly]

Maria could be sold by them as Sanford's true love and 'soul mate'. But 6 more (at least) women while he was seeing Maria & still married is not as easy to sell. 'Sex addict' sounds like he has a curable disorder that isn't really his fault. Poor Mark Sanford....

LOL

[damebee]

Because that is what fox does, I sincerely believe the man has met his "soulmate" and he should pursue her whever it may lead! Not many people experience true love and what the hell you only have one life!

[LemonMeringue]

I would bet that Maria would be a Democrat, if she lived in this country.

[blues101]

I'm saying liberal

[damebee]

So what? Two people meet fall in love it's what stories are made of!

[DRicha8374]

It is nit just so what he is married and has 4 kids. Remember this is a family man, whom strongly believe in family values. If he is so in love, give up the Governor and go be with his love, no one is trying to stop him.

[Bushwillresign]

Sanfordwillresign

[learntofly]

Bet he will Friday at about 4:00.

[blues101]

Isn't it a state or whatever holiday on friday? If the capitol is closed, he'll get the weekend to think about it. Although he's not real good with holiday weekends - wonder how he'll get to the appalachian trail this time.
