If Democrats Can’t Beat a Confessed Adulterer, What Chance Do They Have?

[bripat9643]

Mark Sanford’s win in South Carolina shows how difficult it will be for liberals to reclaim control of the House.

The reason, Republicans say and some Democrats acknowledge, is straightforward. Whatever other circumstances might cloud a race, Republicans can still argue that Democratic candidates will be nothing more than stooges for House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi. Sanford made the point frequently in his own campaign, particularly during the race’s final weeks. Most memorably, he held a mock debate with a cardboard cut-out of the Democratic leader. Even the tawdry details of Sanford’s past failed to make the race about him.

[J.E.D]

A confessed adulterer and former gov in a Republican district that Romney won by 20 points, in a state that voted for Newt Gingrich in the last primary -- twice divorced, cheated on his ex with his current, discgraced politician forced out as Speaker of the House.

So, yeah, there's a good barometer.

Social conservatism is dead. Good riddance to it.

Social conservatism is dead. Good riddance to it.

Well no it's not.

It's just changed for the right wing.

If it's applied to a conservative the mantra will be "forgiveness".

If it's applied to a liberal the mantra will be "kill the lying son of a bitch."

As it turns out, Sanford wasn't even an adulterer.

Yes, yes he was.

Since when do dimwitcraps care if a politician is an adulterer?

Their hero, Blow Job Billy, had an affair with an intern in the fucking oval office and they gave him a pass and that's just the one he got caught.

How to really look at is. What are the values of the people of SC.

It's OK if you're a Republican.

For what the Republicans of SC stand for? Yes, it is.

 

[JohnL.Burke]

To be fair, by all accounts, Colbert's sister ran a horrible campaign.

 

[Katzndogz]

Yes, yes he was.

No he and his wife had already separated. They must have been having serious problems for years.

However, if republicans have finally realized that a morally failed republican is better than a wholly corrupt democrat it is a good thing.

Ever since the two parties were formed... if the adulterer is a Republican.

R +11 district for starters. It's really a reflection of the partisanship of the people.
