Mrs. Sanford had initiated several private conversations with lawmakers and other opinion leaders in South Carolina, urging them to refrain from calling on her husband to resign.

Mrs. Sanford told reporters when this story was unfolding that her husband could worry about his career..and all the while she is in the background making her calls… They deserve each other.

I could not take another 4 years of a Sanford. Neither one will be acceptable to me as any representative of this state. Sorry, but I hope they both go back to their home states and run for whatever they want. Just not here. Please somebody do something. What a manipulator she is. First, to get the press wondering where he is, then to say she has the boys to think of and does not care about his political career. Now, she calls for people to keep him in office. Her plans are going well. Now she is the little darling of the GOP. Junk! Watch out for her. She is smarter than Mark, and is more creative. Dangerous!

Enough of the Sanford fury, lies and neglect of office. It appears our
poor Governor thinks he is above the law – in that he was absent from the
state with no-one in charge of the State’s business. Go to your mistress and a whole lot of SC citizens and taxpayers will say good riddance. The
powers of authority should strip you of your retirement and double check
those travel vouchers (or better yet – let me examine them) and report to
the people that pay your salary! You are a complete joke and such an
embarrassment to all the taxpayers and citizens of South Carolina. Your
children will never have any respect for you as you are such a poor example for them. Jenny will survive and get the last laugh!!!

Every move she makes is for her personal political future, IMHO. It’s not for him, not for money, not for the party, not for the boys..and damn sure not for the citizens of SC. She has a personal goal I think to be in the US Congress or be Governor… I don’t even think she is interested in the SC Legislature..Power, the trappings of power, and ego. She is cold, calculating, devious, which apparently Mark’s Argentine lover is not. And you know what? I am beginning to understand exactly why he took a lover.

I am so sick of these two people. She has always worn the pants in the family-maybe why he strayed. I do not care if she wants him back, but we do not want him. She has money and Right Wingers are always about money. I did watch the interview that chimack refers to and it was weird. I would have sworn that she had very little affection for him, even before this all broke. She has even said their relationship was not passionate at first, but just friends. Our state is in a very bad place, where money and weak minded people run things.

Shut up BIN. Don’t you have clean your room before mom gets home.
If Cubby told Sanford to stay, then Sanford will stay. Very simple.

I already said in the other thread that there was no real situation where she would want him out if you really thought about it…

I think your source is feeding you crap if s/he thinks that Lindsey Graham was about to pull the plug but then Jenny intervened… if anything Graham, Davis, Mark, and Jenny were all coordinating… and if Jenny didn’t go along with it Graham and Davis would politely tell him to go…

I think she has two reasons:

First, and foremost, she wants hers sons to be able to go through life and be able to say, “My father was a two term Governor of SC”, hoping this will fade into the category of “recent unpleasantness”.

Secondly, she can’t stand the idea of Andre as Governor of SC.

Curt Loftis, thanks so much for your post. I knew Sanfraud was King David (because he told us so) but I don’t know Jennyfraud’s true Biblical identity. Please enlighten us mere mortals.

Governor says soulmate is not his wife; keeps his job

“Things were calming down for Gov. Mark Sanford early last week. There were only a smattering of opportunistic calls for his resignation. Argentinian tan lines and “hiking trips” were heading off the front page.”

“Then, in an apparent attempt to really come clean and put this whole mess behind him, Sanford gave another rambling, wounded-heart interview, professing his love for his mistress while promising to try to warm up to the old ball and chain.”

“Contradicting his remarks from the earlier press conference, Sanford said he’d “crossed the line” with a handful of other women before meeting Argentinian Maria Belen Chapur, whom he tearfully called his soulmate.”

“This was a whole lot more than a simple affair,” he said. “It’s a love story … a forbidden one, a tragic one, but a love story at the end of the day.”

Sanfraud has “promised to repay the state more than $8,000 for that leg of the trip.” of the so-called “South American trade mission.”

“A Statehouse rally to call for his resignation is planned for Thurs., July 9.”

Sanfraud “offered a different tune when responding to other politicians’ sex scandals, even after he was privately “crossing the line” with other women.”

In 1998, regarding the Clinton scandal, Sanfraud said: “I don’t know how that could be good for anybody,” he told The Post and Courier. “I don’t think it’s good to have anyone who’s wounded in that high an office.”

“You would set in place an awfully cancerous growth if you let people out there think, ‘I know the president lies so I can too,’” Sanford told the Associated Press.

Sanfraud further said: “The issue of lying is probably the biggest harm, if you will, to the system of Democratic government, representative government, because it undermines trust,” he said. “And if you undermine trust in our system, you undermine everything.”

“What these guys start thinking is they’re above the law. You saw it with the president,” Sanfraud said.
