plotting on how they are going to toss you out of office. Not one of the members of your own party came out in support of you. YOu'd think if God really wanted you to stay in the senate he'd inspire just 1 GOPer to support you.
But seriously, if we're using the God excuse let's take it a step further. Think about this - if God really wanted you to serve as Governor he wouldn't have let you get caught. Perhaps God was pissed that you broke TWO of his commandments, not those crappy ones from Leviticus that GOPers take out of context but the top 10 list of commandments that even Jesus gave 'Two Thumps Up'. You lied and committed adultry.

As part of a fresh round of interviews designed to help save his job, South Carolina governor Mark Sanford suggested a higher power wants him to remain in office, and called his now legendary Appalachian Trail deception "a little white lie". And the embattled Palmetto State Romeo reiterated that he planned to complete his term, which runs through 2010, in order to advance conservative principles -- despite a meeting of GOP lawmakers over the weekend, at which not a single person expressed support for him.
"I feel absolutely committed to the cause, to what God wanted me to do with my life," Sanford told the Washington Times. "I have got this blessing of being engaged in a fight for liberty, which is constantly being threatened."
Sanford sought to minimize his irresponsibility in leaving the state to visit his Argentinian lover while claiming he had gone hiking on the Appalachian Trail, saying he had told his staff a "little white lie."
