I know he’s a right-winger from S.C. that rarely (if ever) votes for any left-wing policies.
Let’s put that in perspective for a bit…
Conservatives are arguing for “American” and “Family” values. They claim that loyalty and honesty are the most important traits a person can have.
Here we have Sanford cheating on his wife. He voted to have Clinton impeached and went on a variety of news programs to speak on the issue, citing that Clinton’s mistake harmed the country. As @johnpowell has said, it’s godamn hypocritical.
BUT… you ready for the shocker? This is the reason I’m upset.
As a conservative, one of Sanford’s the major talking points is gay marriage. Here’s a man that has openly stated that he is firmly (ba dum tish) against the idea, claiming that it ruins the sanctity and tarnishes the name. It threatens his marriage, as well as all of those in a “proper” marriage.
See where I’m going with this?
Besides, this doesn’t really affect me much. How many Conservative extra-marital affairs has there been already? In fact, I’m actually surprised that the Governor wasn’t kanoodling a dude down in Argentina. Seems like the thing these days.
