What’s wrong with Andre Bauer?

DISCLOSURE:

I am NOT a:
1) South Carolinian
2) Christian
3) Republican

I’m a Tennessean; a Jew; and a liberal Democrat.

OK, that’s out of the way. What’s wrong with Andre Bauer? I know nothing about the man except that he looked like a tool on Rachel Maddow (something I attributed to nervousness and nothing else).

I would LOVE to see him resign; however, he is the lesser of the two evils. I would dread seeing Andre Bauer as our governor. If he stays, he will be the lamest of lame-duck gubners as no one will have any respect for him.

PandaChrist: There is a reason why they are not calling him out on this site. Because their beloved founder used to work for the weak minded man we are all talking about. Man I love conservative drama karma. Always quick to tell people how to live their lives. Then bang you can’t do that. Then bang, I sorry I should look at myself before I judge others. This state is so behind in the times. Bible belt thomping is so great.

We do not elect people based on their morals – simply because it is assumed that they are in tact until proven otherwise. As Governor he is not only the executive (although we know what that means in SC) he is also the representative face of SC to those outside the state. As for his duties, I do believe he abregated his duites when he left the country without informing staff or the US Embassy in Argentina of his whereabouts. Willful neglect of duty is an impeachable offense (not that I am calling for it) but his position has been seriously comporomised to say the least. For these reasons I think he should bow out with some shred of dignity still in tact instead of going on as the lamest of the lame ducks.

We could elect Carroll Campbell, III. He already has the adultery thing behind him.

This takes the cake,when a politician has an affair they get on TV & say
I’m sorry so sorry, yes they are sorry because they got caught.He should
resign,with no pay, no security, & no benefits ( medical or retirement).
Our politicians are voted into office so many are abusing this privilege
They are paid very well,have very good medical coverage & retirement & a
lot of perks. I use to hold pliticians with high respect & my upmost regard.

Needs to resign. Problem is, we would need to do an out of state Gov. search, as all of the gov. wannabees on record are crap.

I change my earlier opinions from Monday about how strange, odd AND newsworthy this whole thing is. The more I think about, I do believe he was on the Appilachian trail hiking this whole time, and the press is making a big to do about nothing. He is probably just unwiding and getting a release that he can’t get when crammed in the house with Jenny and all the kids.

No news story, nothing to see here, keep moving. I think he cooked up this whole affair thing to take away from the fact that he was actually just enjoying some quiet time away from the “fam.”
