South Carolina GOP: Mark Sanford must go
Posted: 07-01-2009 09:30 PM
Gov. Mark Sanford’s long and emotional interview with The Associated Press Tuesday appears to have been the final straw for South Carolina’s Republican establishment, much of which is now actively seeking his resignation.
While Sanford seemed to have weathered the storm in the brutal days immediately following his admission of an affair with an Argentine woman, his support has cratered in the wake of the AP interview in which he talked of his “tragic” and “forbidden” love for his “soul mate” and admitted to having “crossed lines” with a handful of other women.
Fourteen GOP state senators — more than half the Senate Republican caucus — have already called for Sanford’s resignation, joining a list that, as of Wednesday afternoon, included 11 Republican members of the state House and six of the state's biggest newspapers.

BTW...I understand he is not willing to release the records of the taxpayer money spent on his affair. So he refused money for schools and the unemployed. Wanted to use the stimulus money to pay down debt for the State of SC, looks like part of the debt was his affairs ! Nice !!:rolleyes:
What did Sanford say, the stimulus amounted to "fiscal child abuse" ? Guess he doesn't care about his own kids.
