this guy ought to be hugged and kissed by the right he is definitely their kind of candidate for congress. no moral compass, liar two top requirements.
Former South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford launched his political comeback Wednesday, announcing his candidacy for the state's vacant congressional seat.
Sanford, a former House member whose political ambitions were thwarted after he admitted to engaging in an extra-marital affair with an Argentinian woman, is seeking the seat of former Rep. Tim Scott, who in January was appointed to the Senate.
"I am running because our country's future is at stake if we don't get our hands around runaway government spending in Washington," Sanford said in the statement.  "And given our nation's long-term financial problems, we need more who have shown themselves to be leaders in standing up to the big spenders, regardless of party."
they all make that fraudulent claim of "caring about the country and the people", he lied to the people and his party. my question is he still in love?
But the former governor is likely to come under scrutiny from South Carolina's conservative voters about his affair, which he admitted to in 2009. Sanford's wife and longtime top political hand, Jenny Sanford, later filed for divorce. Jenny Sanford had been considering running for the open House seat but announced this week that she would not do so.
In the National Review interview, Sanford indicated that he would be direct with voters in acknowledging the affair.
"You have to, in essence, look under the hood. There's a larger philosophical question. In life we're all going to make mistakes, we're all going to come up short. The key is, how do you get back up and how do you learn from those mistakes?" he told the magazine. "But I think that the bigger issue is, don't judge any one person by their best day, don't judge them by their worst day. Look at the totality, the whole of their life, and make judgments accordingly."
ok some do make mistakes but does that mean they are to be trusted with the keys again to take another bite they need to take a tip from GW Bush,
