Sanford, Wilson “Biggest Losers” Of 2009
S.C. Gov. Mark Sanford and Congressman Addison Graves “Joe” Wilson were the “biggest losers” of 2009, according to a national poll released Monday by Gallup.
Sanford was described as a “loser” by 63% of respondents, while 61% said that Wilson was a “loser.” By contrast, 29% said Wilson was a “winner,” compared to only 12% who said that Sanford was a winner.
No other politician matched those figures. In fact, only “White House crashers” Tareq and Michaele Salahi scored higher on the “loser” scale, with 70% of America describing them as such.
So yeah … once again South Carolina is blazing a trail on the national stage.
The poll, which sampled 1,025 adults nationwide, was conducted between December 13-15. Its margin of error is 4%.
UPDATE: What’s with the blonde? Duh … that’s Alison Sweeney, host of NBC’s “The Biggest Loser.” Rrrrrawrrr!

If you list all Mark Sanford has lost he tops the list-number one is his family, that can never be replaced-not even for a “soul mate”, his respect, his credibility, his honor and for what – - – he has brought dishonor to SC that he can never regain in the year he has left – Marke, Marke, what were you thinking!!!

I believe the the biggest losers of 2009 are our children and grandchildren who will be enslaved to oppressive debt.
Thank you, corrupt Democrat politicians!

What about that Iraq war, Sam? Seen the price tag lately? Can’t blame that on the Democrats, now can you?

National security or the military is supposed to be the main objective of the federal government. I have no objection to paying taxes to cover the military but I despise paying taxes to help some citizen that should be working for a living. This includes people that are working and continue to spend more than they make.

Mauldin,
Billy Boy Clinton (how I do miss him!) let Osama bin Laden go thrice. Had Billy Boy Clinton done his job, 9/11 never would have happened. Imagine that.
Billy Boy Clinton drastically reduced funding of our military and our intelligence agencies. The 9/11 terrorist attack was planned under Billy Boy Clinton’s nose. Think of all the lives and money that could have been saved had Clinton done his job correctly.
However, Obama’s willingness to see a nuclear-armed Iran will cost our nation much more dearly than 9/11.

Mark Sanfraud, the biggest Goddamn mistake to ever happen to our wonderfull state, and the fucking crooked as lawmakers. No motherfucking Incumbants in 2010.

I do not believe that South Carolina has any more embarrassing “moments” than most other states! Do South Carolinians suffer from low self-esteem?
Get over it! We have lots to be proud of! Gov. Sanford did make a couple of big mistakes and should have kept quieter. He is not any more embarrasing than lots of other politicians in the country. And Joe Wilson maybe should not have voiced his opinions but there sure are a lot of Americans who think what he did was great!!!

Wisemon, we will not get over it I am tired of motherfuckers like you saying that to justify leaving a fucking criminal in office as a governor. We will get over it until cocksuckers like you shut the fuck up.

Mark Sanfraud has a sex tape out there and it is going to be leaked soon, by one of the line crossers, AKA KL…………………..

Wisemon – you are dreaming – Sanford makes the national news almost daily – he is on every Wacko list, looser list, they read his ridiculous emails to his Homewrecker mistress on national TV last night for the umpteenth time – which makes South Carolina people a laughing stock – they call him the LuvGuv of SC-he made a”Couple of Mistakes” – and should have kept Quiet??? What rock have you been under? I’m glad he was finally found out for what he really his – and have you seen the polls for Wilson? That’s a whole other story – you need a life!

Mark sanfraud as well as other lawmakers have spit in the faces of south carolina,s citizens. It is sad that we have to stand by and take their lawlessness like the days in the old west, and henry mcMaster has basically abadoned any chance of charging sanfraud with a crime.
