Mark Sanford, the Governor of South Carolina should be impeached or forced to resign!
He lied to his constituents and went AWOL from his official duties for the better part of a week, leaving the State vulnerable--- with no way to contact him. What is it about dereliction of duty that the Governor,mainstream media,and his apologists don’t understand? It is irrelevant what he was doing on his secret getaway.
What he was doing on his getaway time is totally relevant to his wife and family but that is a separate issue from his responsibilities as an elected head of state. What he was doing in his absence is relevant to the hypocrisy factor in relation to the “family values” standards that evangelical bible thumpers hold in such public high esteem.
However, I would not hold my breath until his fellow Republicans call him to account.

Abortion Terrorists
What is the difference between an “Islamic” religious fanatic who beheads someone of a different faith and lifestyle---and an American “Christian” fanatic who shoots someone of a different faith and lifestyle?
What is the difference between “Islamic” religious organizations and leaders who sow the seeds of violence with the fervent embrace of hateful adjectives for their “enemies’----and “American” religious organizations and leaders who do the same?
What is the difference between “Islamic” religious organizations and leaders who extol those followers who commit murder and praise Allah----and those “American” religious organizations and leaders who extol those followers who commit murder and praise God?
The answer: We wage war against “Islamic” terrorists, their supporters and conspirators. We don’t, against abortion terrorists, their supporters and conspirators.
The answer: There has been an eight year avalanche of rhetoric, special legal construction and call to arms that fills the public discourse about the threat of “Islamic” terrorists to our country. There is a vacuum the size of the Grand Canyon when comes to defending American women and doctors from threats, intimidation and murders at the hands of abortion terrorists.
Where are the political leaders? Where are the scientific community leaders? Where are the mainstream religious leaders? Where is local law enfrocement? Why do we only hear the silence of the lambs?
