- NBCLocal, on 06/24/2009, -1/+146Interesting but I wonder the last time that was actually enforced.
- mouthbreether, on 06/25/2009, -4/+111Except you can't be charged in South Carolina for crimes committed in Argentina.
- chrismwood, on 06/24/2009, -2/+105It's always fun to see things like this, but the truth is that laws like this are ridiculous, impossible to enforce, and should be repealed. Sanford shouldn't be prosecuted because nobody should. He's a pompous ***** who shattered his family on Fathers Day, of all days, but he isn't a criminal. Not in this particular area, anyway.
- Diefree, on 06/24/2009, -5/+80Just good to see a hypocrite fall on his ass.
- MrColdheart, on 06/24/2009, -5/+65Even if you take personal ethics out of the equation he is an acting member of our government who didn't just go missing he left the damn country.
His personal life caused him to be derelict in his duties and on top of that the Feds have been known to keep track of officials who display strange behavior that effects national security. - johnnr2, on 06/24/2009, -2/+58biggest crime is going AWOL - no way to contact him in case of emergency in the state
- CTK14A, on 06/25/2009, -2/+57Warning: Amateur legal musings ahead.
Sanford was neither living together with this woman nor, as far as we know, having carnal intercourse with her in the state of South Carolina. State law applies only within state boundaries. Therefore, unless it can be proven that he had adulterous relations with the woman inside of the state, his confession of adultery does not make him automatically guilty in the eyes of the court. If you go to Amsterdam and smoke a joint, you can't be charged for it in South Carolina, even when you come back and tell everybody you did.
Of course, he did confess to an affair. It could be argued that he still committed a crime if the carnal intercourse was 'habitual' -- however I doubt that even South Carolina can successfully try and convict an individual based on events that occurred in Argentina, outside of state jurisdiction. - manjas8, on 06/25/2009, -2/+37Probably never, which would be the right amount of times it was actually enforced.
If they were to charge him with this, they would have to charge every person in SC that commits adultery from that day forward. Apply the law equally or do not apply it at all.
Strike this retarded law from the books. - Maddoktor2, on 06/25/2009, -1/+34Did you conveniently forget that Sanford voted for Clinton's impeachment?
What goes around comes around - Karma's a bitch, baby.
Thanks for playing. - woofers07, on 06/25/2009, -4/+36Good news for the GOP, at least it was with a woman this time.
- executorzz, on 06/25/2009, -0/+31Is it punishable by catapult?
- Maddoktor2, on 06/24/2009, -7/+36Grounds for impeachment.
- tzvika613, on 06/25/2009, -0/+25Clinton did get impeached. He did not get convicted.
- mouthbreether, on 06/25/2009, -1/+26The court can't prosecute him for committing adultery in another country. It would be like if someone went to Amsterdam to smoke pot and then got arrested here for it when we came back.
- avataros, on 06/24/2009, -2/+26It's a bitch when the soapbox you stand on gets kicked out from right under you... by yourself.
- thunked, on 06/25/2009, -4/+27Misleading title. It's illegal in over half of US states. Do your homework.
Some try and put a religious spin on it, but it's simply breach of contract. - Atario, on 06/24/2009, -2/+24I just learned a new acronym. IOKIYAR.
- DylanClements, on 06/25/2009, -0/+21Didn't the adultery take place in Argentina and not South Carolina?
- Y0tsuya, on 06/25/2009, -0/+20Half of the state legislature will take a ride in the paddy wagon the moment they start enforcing it.
- jeexbit, on 06/25/2009, -1/+20never?
- inactive, on 06/25/2009, -6/+25But he's a good Christian man you can trust, oh wait, never mind.
- mface, on 06/25/2009, -2/+20"Offenses Against Morality and Decency"
sounds pretty american - jms2qc, on 06/24/2009, -2/+20I'm curious as to how this will end. I mean personally I think it is a human and private act, but it's always interesting to see a public figure held accountable for things. I doubt the court will stick him with those consequences though.
- NoLibertarians, on 06/24/2009, -33/+50Good
- tzvika613, on 06/25/2009, -0/+17He was impeached for perjury. If he had said, 'It is none of your business,' or 'I am not going to answer those questions,' he would not have perjured himself.
- SpruceCaboose, on 06/25/2009, -4/+20"if SOMEONE went to Amsterdam to smoke pot.....when WE came back"
Is there something you want to tell us about your last trip to Amsterdam mouthbreether? - Maddoktor2, on 06/25/2009, -1/+17Way to ignorantly try and twist what I said, but sadly, you fail.
He should be impeached or resign, just like he called for Clinton's resignation:
"I think it would be much better for the country and for him personally to resign. I come from the business side. If you had a chairman or president in the business world facing these allegations, he'd be gone."
- Mark Sanford (1998)
Thanks for playing again. - darkciti2, on 06/25/2009, -0/+15Purportedly.
- Maddoktor2, on 06/25/2009, -1/+16Having trouble with the facts again, eh, whiteninjachild?
Your kind always resort to insults when presented with names, dates, and numbers you can't argue with:
"Where I'm from, as your ol' lady would know, that's a mouth *****."
That's really a sad, pathetic attempt on your part, but hey, at least I have one.
Thanks for playing. You lose once again. - Talphin, on 06/25/2009, -2/+16"the truth is that laws like this are ridiculous, impossible to enforce, and should be repealed"
Same is true for the war on drugs, but they seem to make a point of attempting to enforce that. - sgfreak784, on 06/25/2009, -1/+15Can't the governor just pardon himself? Where is that in the SC Code of Laws?
- rocknog, on 06/25/2009, -0/+12That's the only reason I even remotely give a ***** about the whole thing. Otherwise, I don't give a *****, his private life is none of my business.
- fuzzybeard, on 06/25/2009, -1/+12♫ Don't cry for me, Argentina...♫
- SpinningHead, on 06/25/2009, -0/+11It was only about 10 or 15yrs ago that GA sent a guy to jail for consensual sodomy with another adult.
- Giggashrume, on 06/25/2009, -3/+13I am not at all sorry for the statement I am about to make. I am a conservative, and I have no compassion for this goober who cheated on his wife. It doesn't matter what the party, sex, race, etc.: cheating on a spouse, is cheating on a spouse.
- Ghstd4303, on 06/25/2009, -1/+11Has Fox labeled this guy a democrat yet?
- Homerr, on 06/25/2009, -0/+10Leaving the country unannounced is grounds for impeachment. Cheating on his wife is between he and his wife.
We're such prudes in America. - joshnovak, on 06/25/2009, -0/+9I'm a Christian and a Liberal, don't generalize all Christians as conservatives nor generalize all liberals as atheists.
- bentaisan, on 06/25/2009, -1/+10Argentina != South Carolina
- kingofinwood, on 06/25/2009, -0/+9I appreciate the disclaimer.
- CTK14A, on 06/25/2009, -0/+9That sounds like a Jackie Chan move.
- pathouston22, on 06/25/2009, -0/+9At least his wife wasn't dying of cancer!
- SpamDog, on 06/25/2009, -0/+8I had to google it:
http://acronyms.thefreedictionary.com/IOKIYAR - Thistlejack, on 06/25/2009, -0/+8Yes.
http://mediamatters.org/blog/200906240026 - Obermeister, on 06/25/2009, -1/+9Oh Zach, you might have a leg to stand on here if the republicans were as quick to excuse the sins of democrats as they are each others. Apparently Christianity is only about forgiveness when one of your fellow moralizing zealots falls on his ass, but if a democrat does it he needs to be impeached and ran out of town.
- Maddoktor2, on 06/25/2009, -1/+8Since when is having facts at your disposal and using them to prove a point when challenged on it pretentious? Viewing it that way is a sign of inadequacy, you know.
Now, trolling - that's pretentious, son. Bombastic, even.
As for the mail order bit, nice try, but bzzt! Wrong again. Try again, youngblood.
Drawn in? Nah, I'm just having fun watching you dig yourself in deeper and making yourself look ridiculous as long as you care to keep it up. Trolling is an art form, little one. I got all day. Do you?
Thanks for playing. That's 6 straight losses for you now.
P.S. - But seriously, I'll give you props for knowing who Lazarus Long is, though. Few kids your age do. You actually just impressed me. - NoLibertarians, on 06/24/2009, -6/+13I think he will resign
- altgeeky1, on 06/25/2009, -0/+7No, there's a rule in the playbook for these types.
Hunker down and tell everyone MORE about your religious beliefs.
It worked for the last president... no one cared that he went AWOL while in uniform, was an alcoholic, or snorted cocaine because you FOUND JESUS and shouldn't you only throw stones at sinners who don't Believe? - Maddoktor2, on 06/25/2009, -1/+8"i was just trying to get a rise out of you, and i did.
p.s. living at your moms house does not what i meant by having an old lady"
You got a rise out of me? Heh - that's almost laughable. I'm not the one throwing around personal insults in a lame attempt at trolling, remember. You have a lot to learn about trolling, lad, and I love having wannabe trolls like you for breakfast.
Here's what you don't seem to get - you've been proven wrong, have run out of talking points, have only have personal attacks to resort to, and you're not even good at those.
I mean, mom jokes? Oh, please... grow up already - you're 26, for crying out loud. Try acting like it, and not some pimple-faced 14 year old trying to look cool - you're failing miserably.
That's why you keep losing. Then again, you are quite young and still have a lot to learn, assuming you even survive - good luck with that, by the way.
"You live and learn, or you don’t live long. "
- Lazarus Long
Thanks for playing. That's 5 in a row you've lost so far, but please feel free to keep trying - you might even accidentally stumble upon something intelligent to say. - darkciti2, on 06/25/2009, -1/+8Time to reap what you've sown.
