South Carolina just elected Mark Sanford to Congress; A guy who got
caught cheating on his wife and using taxpayer money to visit his
mistress because you know…
Republicans are the party of strong Family Values and Fiscal Responsibility.
This is actually a HUGE win for liberals across the country, and I’ll explain why:
Mark Sanford is going to be the poster child for GOP Hypocrisy in
2014. If you look at the way Republicans across the country seem to run
their campaigns not against their opponents, but instead against Nancy
Pelosi and Barack Obama – turnabout would be fair play. How can
Republicans ever complain about sexual transgressions ever again? How
are we as a nation not supposed to laugh in your face when you mention
the cost of Barack Obama’s trips now? They just elected a man who was
drummed out of office for ethics violations while using taxpayer money
to disappear for days while leaving the country to cheat on his wife
with his Argentinian mistress. Need to go deeper into the hypocritical
rabbit hole? Sanford voted to impeach President Clinton for lying about
his alleged affair.
But… Mark Sanford had this to say in regards to lying about an affair:
“The issue of lying is probably the biggest harm, if you will, to
the system of Democratic government, representative government, because
it undermines trust. And if you undermine trust in our system, you
undermine everything.”
Maybe it’s time for him to apologize to Bill Clinton and LGBT couples everywhere for his views on the institution of marriage.
So thank you, South Carolina. It’s typically very tough to frame
such a strong argument against your entire party, and your entire
platform in one easy-to-understand symbol. The only thing that could
have made it better is if Sanford forced his wife and mistress to get
abortions. Wait… Am I getting my hypocritical Republican politicians mixed up?
