Dear Gov Sanford: If God wanted you to stay as Gov he wouldn't have your own SC GOPers....
Edited on Wed Sep-02-09 04:03 PM by LynneSin
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.

Sanford: Appalachian Trail Tale Was "A Little White Lie"
Zachary Roth | September 2, 2009, 10:10AM



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."

1. Sanford doesn't listen to anybody, and that includes
Gawd and Jeebus.

Early in his political career, I believe he listened to Jenny who was his campaign manager. That went gang aft agley when he found his soul mate or whatever.

He won't resign. He's on a mission for liberty plus truth, justice, and the American Way.

2. I never got that "white lie" BS
A lie is a lie. Sure, some lies have greater consequenses than others (WMD's in Iraq for example), but if something is not true, it's a lie, no matter how big the consequences.

3. This guy...
...is earning the coveted title of 'Biggest Douche in the Universe'.

What a complete egotistical asshole.

I guess god was not too concerned about the vows he took to his wife.

4. Amazing...
...he doesn't even know what a "white lie" is.

For the record, Guv, a white lie is the kind of thing you do when you tell your wife no, those pants don't make your ass look big.

The kind of lie you told, a self-serving lie to cover up for the fact that you were committing adultery, is not by any stretch of the imagination covered under the "white lie" department.

5. So gawd's talking to Mark again?
Funny, wonder what he told him when he was breaking the Commandments and the SC state laws.

The problem with Mark and his ilk is that they only listen to gawd when he says something they want to hear!

6. Guess Gawd's gonna have to smite him with a lightning bolt during his
next press conference for Sanford to get that his gig is up. Man, I'd so tune in to watch that!

7. I am pretty sure Sanford thinks the SC GOPers are working for Satan
That is how it usually works for those types.
