Out of the $2.8 billion SC is slated to get in stimulus funds, the state will receive about $2.1 billion whether Sanford likes it or not. Mr. Sanford's political posturing is an embarrassment to his state and the people of South Carolina. Sanford/Palin 2012!

Especially because the same people criticizing Mary Beth Hill for using her state email to advance a cause have criticized Jim Rex for doing the same thing, and like Sanford and the others you mentioned, he's elected by the people to advance policy.

Glad somebody asked that. The logic goes something like this, politicians like Obama, Sanford, Jim Clyburn, Lindsey Graham (and to a lesser extent Leatherman, Harrell and McMaster) are "supposed" to be debating these issues because that's what the voters elected them to do - debate and set policy. Also lawmakers don't give Sanford any real power anyway, so the bully pulpit is all he's got. On the flip side, bureaucrats were not elected to debate policy, they were appointed to manage the schools that are supposed to be educating our children. We give them resources to do that job, not to blast out political memos and talking points for or against a certain issue. It's a good point, though, and one that there is certainly plenty of room for debate on. Glad you raised it ... -FITS “Nope,”

GREAT question. Glad somebody asked that. The logic goes something like this, politicians like Obama, Sanford, Jim Clyburn, Lindsey Graham (and to a lesser extent Leatherman, Harrell and McMaster) are “supposed” to be debating these issues because that’s what the voters elected them to do – debate and set policy.

Also lawmakers don’t give Sanford any real power anyway, so the bully pulpit is all he’s got.

Or is he paying for all that travel himself?
