This is a great thread, and all the political conspiracies talked about indepth make me realize that so much of our tax dollar is wasted on men like
this. You know, I would have much rather belived this theory that what has actually come to light!
South Carolina GOP Gov. Mark Sanford admitted Wednesday to an affair, and resigned his position as chair of the Republican Governor's Association
following a strange week in which the governor dropped off the grid and could not be located.
“I have been unfaithful to my wife. I developed a relationship with what started out as a dear, dear friend from Argentina
The governor said that his staff did not deserve blame for giving misleading statements about his whereabouts to the press - first that he was off
writing and then that he was hiking the Appalachian Trail.
"I apologize to my staff," Sanford said in a statement released after the 2 p.m. news conference. "I misled them about my whereabouts, and as a
result the people of South Carolina believed something that wasn't true.

Perhaps he decided to go against the Bilderburg agenda and make a populist appeal to refuse the bailout money. Drawing unwanted scrutiny to the
robbery of the American public. Don't want anyone inflaming the "feeders" with talk about justice.
As we know politicians can/are controlled by TPTB by either overt or covert means of information gathering, which allows them to pull the plug anytime
they so choose.
He rebelled against the plan and they ended his career.
Just a possible scenario.

Hummm...well you know after reading what his wife had to say, I think he is tellling the truth. I think he got caught in his own web of lies
However, as I said...the conspiracie story was much more fun. This story...no fun.

You make the mistake of assuming that these weapons would be used against us, built apon the assumption the Armed Services would be against us. You
again assumed that we would have no military technology available to us. You forget Sat. phones with ground relays - now direct net uplinks.
Assumption is the game of slaves.

You and many others will be shocked at how many have known and prepared for this day. I personally know the Command Staffs of five State National

are YOU?
Well in a years time I bought a M1A scout, AR15 with 2300 dollar scope, SKS, GSG-5, & plenty of clips and ammo to go around. So I'll let You be the
judge of that. I didn't buy it to start a revolt and to start shooting American soldiers. I just started preparing because I feel like the SHTF
scenario will be happening real soon. I can't say I am happy and to be honest I am fed up with the taxes and the corruption. As a matter of fact I am
getting fed up with the North & the West making fun of my fellow southerners and claiming we are a bunch of stupid racist red necks.

Hmm, pirate TV stations...but we have all switched to digital high-def broadcasts now, haven't we? Who is going to get the information on those

And people think that TPTB are not a few steps ahead of the game. tsk-tsk.

 The South will rise AGAIN!

People's overall reaction here to Sanford's disappearance, and neglect even to ask the lieutenant governor to assume authority in his absence, is
that he's erratic and even more flaky than he is reputed to be.
I would not be surprised if he was in some sort of institution for mental illnesses or had run off with a stripper or any one of a number of juicy
possibilities.
He may or may not be a secessionist, as many argue, but one thing he's definitely not is presidential material. One has to be rock-steady to do
that.
Yes after all he is just a man, and men fall. Even still after his admission of an affair some people are seeing a conspiracy behind that.

He couldn't get a girlfriend in the US? Were is the logic to flying half way around the world, the long way, to...you know.
That's pretty pathetic, lol.
Personally, I have always had a 10 mile rule. They have hookers in Nevada. That would have been cheaper.
He needs to be impeached. If a private can't cheat on his wife without on the job consequences, governors, presidents, et. al. should not be
exempt.
Here we were hoping he would save our nation. He doesn't even care about his family.
Oh sure, now that he has been caught, he cares. In my book, that doesn't count.
Our nation is in big trouble and this dirt bag is one reason why. We need to get these guys out of DC and out of their state capitals to.
That's all I have to say.
OUT!
(note-I haven't voted for a democrat since they defended adultery on capital hill. But if the republicans don't rise up and bring this guy
down.........)

Ummmm.....ok.....
I was refering more to that fact that a large portion of the US is in a state of "In Obama We Trust" kind of mindset and anything short of a similar
Obama-style canidate will lose to him in 2012.
Obama would have to do something really stupid to get this nation to dislike him and picking a few corrupt people for his cabinet and enslaving this
country in taxation bondage hasnt done it yet.

Glad to see that FOX News is still fair and balanced.
On Fox, Mark Sanford "(D)" holds press conference
mediamatters.org...
They "mislabeled" him as a Dem. What's that like 5 times they've done this? I've lost count with all the corrupt politicians. (Foley, Vitter,
John Ensign, Larry Craig etc.)
Hypocrites much?

I can see a Tiananmen Square incident on one coast and the other coast would know nothing about it. Even if a patriot in broadcasting trys to usurp
authority it would be squashed by the fcc hitting the emergency elert button.
Cell towers shut down on the push of a button, Internet disabled etc.
You nailed it.
The Revolution could have already started and all you would hear about it would be from vague reports on the controlled news about a shooting - and
then only on the local news to explain away the incident...
Sure, one of the locals might post the truth on his blog or even a forum - but everyone will attack him once he can't produce a "source"
(mainstream news site). His credibility will be "called in to question", the blog will be closed after an anonymous individual reports a
nonexistent terms violation, the individual gets banned from the forum - and the truth stays hidden for another day.
In any case, I don't think Americans will ever fight back.
There won't be a Revolution in America. Things will just keep getting worse and no one will do a thing about it.
States won't secede either.

What it looks like to me is that this guy went up against the controller scum - and they have ended his career.
The media surrounding it should be enough evidence as to who the enemy is here.
It is even quite possible that there was no 'affair', rather he has been coerced with threats.
Regardless - for myself personally, I think having an affair is such a big deal.
You will notice that his wife knew for months before - so how is it now suddenly a big problem? Well - I would say it is purely the scum using this
to get him our of office because he opposes them.

Uh perhaps it IS a big deal because he went AWOL and was derelict in his duties as an elected Governor. His staff attempted to mask his whereabouts.
Still unsure if taxpayer funds were used to fund his follies.
I'm sure more will come out as a result of investigations. Not everything is perpetrated by the "evil" government and PTB.
Regardless it is newsworthy and noteworthy.

I have seen crap from BOTH Carolinas in the political realm that'd make your heads explode. I wouldn't trust this man with my dirty socks. Both
states are so dirty, a bath with a metal brush, turpentine and bleach wouldn't get rid of it all.
