Ex-SC Gov. Sanford back in political office

Everyone complaining about dems do it to are absolutely right. There are plenty of crappy dems to point to.

So, how's that help Sanford's case?

1) you break it out often and it has nothing to do with propaganda

2) I didn't say you WERE bested which is clearly inferrable by the "and/or" I had put in the sentence.

Seeing how your reading comprehension is apparently impared, your judgement on what is or isn't propaganda has to also be questioned.

You're apparently interested in turning this into a personal spat, but I don't think I'll oblige. :peace

Tu quoque is all they got.

Nah...

I just find it funny that you are doing this ya'll stuff and throwing me in with the two party paradigm being that I've been third party liberal guy for quite a long time.

Oh, in that book that is what they did to the independent thinkers. I never said the island wasn't populated. Have fun, we do beach volleyball at 3.

Pretty much anyone who votes Republican or Democrat was included in that y'all.
 
CaptinSarcastic said:
So it's not a crime for you, I guess you were free to mislead.

I still would have gone with a more balanced explanation. But then again, I never voted for the guy and really didn't like him until the GOP made me dislike them more for wasting the time and resources of the nation on that ridiculous witch hunt.

You miss the point. The "explanation" was not mine to them, but theirs to me. My role was to repair that damage.:cool:

I have voted for both before. But you'd be hard pressed to find a more fervent supporter of destroying this two party system.

Playing the victim? Now thats a republican meme.

Neither a victim nor a Repub. I confess to preferring to discuss the thread topic rather than posters' insults.:cool:

Sorry. But when you deflect an argument with a redundant throwaway one-liner, it means you are not exactly traveling on the high road you are trying to portray yourself being on. :cool:

Not to mention not being on topic as you are saying you are.

Right. Sanford won because his district is highly Republican. :coffeepap:

You're late to the discussion. I've already said that several times, and in fact used it as the basis for my prediction of a Sanford victory weeks ago. Being a Repub in a highly Repub district is a part of being the better candidate.:cool:

Yes, that was clear, I am saying I would have repaired the damage with the truth, that the President was entitled to due process, that his political enemies made up the House Judiciary Committee majority, and that he was acquitted in the Senate where there was a Republican majority.

House Republicans are crazy, they still are, they are preparing to vote, for the 40th time, to repeal Obamacare.

Read "The Hunting of the President" and you will be so embarassed of your point off view you won't be able to stand yourself.

Wrong again. My post that caught your eye was a response to an attempt to use the Sanford episode to launch a generalized attack. It was, in the truest sense of the word, propaganda.:roll:

The only oddity was how many people fell for the delusion that a Dem had a chance.:cool:

Funny how you don't realize how strongly Republican the district he ran it has become. And how low his margin of victory turned out to be. The fact that he won with just 6% margin in a district like that is extremely telling.

You haven't done your reading. I've posted several times that a Dem can't win SC1.:cool:

Obamaphobia is now the core of conservatism. There's no there there without it.

But the fact that in such a strongly conservative state, the GOP can't elect anybody but a freak like "soulmate" Sanford, speaks volumes about what conservatism is.

Ex-SC Gov. Sanford back in political office

Former Republican South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford revived a scandal-scarred political career by winning back his old congressional seat Tuesday in a district that hasn't elected a Democrat in three decades.

The comeback was complete when he defeated Democrat Elizabeth Colbert Busch, the sister of political satirist Stephen Colbert. With 87 percent of the precincts reporting, Sanford had 54 percent of the vote.​

too ****in funny to see this level of partisan blindness.

Now you know how I felt when Marion Berry got re-elected to public office.

A process argument does not answer a question of principle. I'm not inclined to defend House Repubs. "Hunting" is political junk food for the lefty base.:cool:

Several of the Repub would-be nominees would have won. Sanford was the one they preferred, not the one they needed.:cool:

It was because he was so romantic -- to the tea party sensibilities of South Carolina.

South Carolina has been officially designated as ground zero for conservative quantum weirdness.

His Argentine adventure aside, he was a successful two term governor and had been a competent Congressman before that. He'll be a good Congressman, I suspect.:cool:

Overlooking the fundamental freakishness of the man says alot about where modern conservatism is.

I just hope he doesn't break into somebody elses house before coming to Washington.
