Yes you can blame both parties, but I wouldn’t expect the guy who picked your wife up in a bar, or on the internet, to be too concerned about your feelings or being prosecuted for adultry.

Was Clinton’s downfall Monica’s fault? Was Edwards’ downfall Rielle Hunter’s fault? Was Elliott Spitzer’s downfall the hooker’s fault? If you say yes, i’ll defer to your judgement.

Perhaps it may be possible to blame BOTH parties? Unfortunately, all is not “fair in love” because adultery is considered a criminal act of BOTH parties in South Carolina. Also, until very recently a non-spouse adulterer could be held liable in a civil action as well.

I have no concerns in that regard, but marriage is a TWO party contract. Outside parties make no promises to anyone. As the old saying goes, “all is fair in love and war.” People who don’t believe that saying to be true are fools. If your wife “bangs” another guy, and you blame the guy and forgive her, what can I say.

Rather it is the hypocrisy of a man going after other politicians for much less serious sins and the two-facedness of his political supporters who have ripped the Governor’s so-called enemies apart, left and right, for errors that pale in comparison to those the governor is committing in running SC.

Why attack the Paramour? She is not married. She is free to date or sleep with whomever she wishes. There is only one person responsible for all the damage here, and he has barricaded himself in the Governor’s Mansion, from whence he will force us to listen to his mia culpa’s, apologies, and lets get on with our lives speeches for the next 18 months.

Sanford is the problem. He is a vindictive jerk who is finding out that what goes around, comes around. He has been a reasonably good governor from a management point of view, but he personally has set the reform movement back a decade by his pettiness and childishness….and that was BEFORE the story of the affari broke.

Even his supporters, who are doing all they can to minimalize this story and to drown out the calls for investigation of misuse of taxpayer funds, cannt find a way to defend him. His story is constantly changing, he is putting his personal desires above the needs of his wife, his “wonderful” sons, the reform movement he claimed to champion and at the end of the day, the people of SC.
