Soaps.com - MESSAGE BOARDS

Here we go again, wasn't it just last week that a politician was crawling on bended knees asking to be forgiven for cheating on his wife and letting down his "constituents". Well, now today the missing governor of South Carolina, Governor Mark Sanford has admitted that he's been having an affair with a woman in Argentina. The Governor admitted to visiting her over Father's Day weekend. He also said he is going to resign as head of the Republican Governor's Association. Sanford is a rumored 2012 presidential candidate and he refused to say whether he will leave office. Visiting his mistress on Father's Day weekend, hmmmmmm. Maybe he is going to be like the ex-Democratic Senator who ran for president in 2008 and be passing out cigars soon. What do ya'll think? Think politicians think they are rock stars or something, does their big egos make them think that they owe NO ONE an explaination, or what???????????????????????????????

sigh yuck. i only thank GOD Edwards did not become our president. what a mess!!!!!!!!!! i never liked him and he's from NC!! lol - that is where i am from - spent most of my time in Cary, NC. anyway i don't understand what they are thinking. oh wait..they aren't! lol

I just saw this & I was going to find that thread you started last week.

I don't know if the adultery rate is the same for politicians v. non-politicians, b/c if you're not in the public eye your affair - while disgusting - doesn't hit the papers. It does seem these guys, regardless of their political leanings, can't keep it in their pants.

I think their wives should divorce them & maybe start running for office rather than standing by their side at their press conferences! I don't agree with her politics usually, but I would vote for Elizabeth Edwards.

what about spitzer''s wife????? are you shi!!ing me, kick his azz to the curb

I think that a man in the public eye (wether politics, entertainment, whatever) has a certain amount of power that some women find alluring. Women are more agreeable to do things with him that they wouldn't do with him if he were an average Joe Blow...Look at Mick Jagger...eeek sooo not sexy to me.... I think it is easier for these guys to cheat. Look at John and Kate .... John might not have cheated (I don't really watch the show, but know he has been in the papers). This is just some ordinary guy. He gets on tv and his effability quotient increases.

Women who are married to these politicians are buying into the whole power thing too because they stay with the cheater pants. They want the prestige and life that comes with his position. Granted, I am sure there is love involved, but popularity always equals desire I think.

Men think with their one eyed anaconda.

Just remember these people at the next election....

I say vote out everyone in office and start new..that ought to shake things up in your town and across the nation!!!!

i can't believe hypocrites these guys are, on both sides, he voted for clinton to be impeached, unbelievable

The affair part who cares! Heisn't the first nor will he be the last!! was he wrong? IMO yes but does he care what I think I bet not!! IMo this is just once again taking our eyes off what is really going on!! and trying to distract us!!

I do agree he is wrong. and I do think he should step down but does it need to be all over every news channel when more important things are going on(NKorea for example)While the media uses this and other events to blind us what is really going on thats all im saying!!
