		<description>From my perspective, the issue is quite simple.  Rightly or wrongly, he has lost a substantial number of people who are willing to support him, place confidence in him, and trust him.  A leader needs as many people believing in him or her as possible.

		<description>I want him in office as a visible example of the hypocritical Republicans who sent our debt through the roof, wrecked the WORLD economy and stalled environmental solutions for years.

The next election cycle should finish them.

If we can then get rid of Reid and put in a real leader maybe we can get back on track.

Loved his campaign ads. Do as I say...</description>

		<description>Correct.  A blowjob is not sex for &quot;Promise Keepers.&quot;

A promises kept on a technicality is still a promise kept.</description>

		<description>From AP:

&quot;South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford said Tuesday that he &quot;crossed lines&quot; with a handful of women other than his mistress — but never had sex with them.
The governor said he &quot;never crossed the ultimate line&quot; with anyone but Maria Belen Chapur, the Argentine at the center of a scandal that has derailed his once-promising political career.
&quot;This was a whole lot more than a simple affair, this was a love story,&quot; Sanford said. &quot;A forbidden one, a tragic one, but a love story at the end of the day.&quot;
During an emotional interview at his Statehouse office with The Associated Press on Tuesday, Sanford said Chapur is his soul mate but he&#039;s trying to fall back in love with his wife.&quot;

Good luck with that. He really is fond of digging holes, isn&#039;t he?</description>

		<description>Joanne, kavips is a romantic and maybe so am I... there is something about Sanford&#039;s mid-life crisis that I totally can understand and even admire him for his comittment; how often in this life do we truly follow our heart? 

Nonetheless, he signed up to be Governor, not The Bachelor. So away with him.</description>

		<description>Dear kavips,

I have slept on your words before writing back, and know I risk being filetted here.  But I am still bothered and nagged by your positioning on this topic.  I have reflected on your Addams piece, and thought perhaps an insightful inventory of past incivility across the blogosphere has stirred a soulful examination of our messy lives, and the sheer mortals we are.  And Sandford may be your starting point (before you start in-state). I don&#039;t know.
But Mr./Mrs./Ms. kavips,  I have tried to engage in civil to light discourse at all levels.  But wrong, while evoking a civil  tone from your post, seems to have been excused.  And that made me WILD!
For all the clarity you have argued across these new progressive ages, and pages, I must say this executed opinion strikes to the core of principled leadership, and I am worried.
Kavips, the Governor is guilty of dereliction of duties.  Regardless of the reason, no chain of command was left in place by assignment or inference.  It was knowing, willful, reckless, arrogant, and irresponsible to the people of his state.  The length of time, and distant whereabouts further compounds his culpability in this matter.  Benign neglect, I could understand with a weekend fishing trip to a great Georgia lake.  But this dear kavips is a heightened matter.  Sanford has made some poor choices that come with consequences to so many.  Is it fair the citizens of that state now deal with a major distraction of a fully operating government, with a governor who has just doubled his &quot;To Do&quot; list upon returning and subsequent admissions?  I realize you direct your pass to the acquisition of e-mails.  Kavips, if this was past history like Obama and cocaine, or Cindy and Percocet, I would be in full agreement.  But it is not, it is now, it is the 21st century, and perhaps like the Amish we should accept our consequences, with humility and every effort to restore what was broken, even if it takes another person to get it that way.  Gov. Sanford engaged 21st century skills to weave what ultimately tracked him.  He can make his choices.  He cannot choose his consequences.  The man should resign, to limit any further his reign of consequence, since governing these days is not what he chose to do for a protracted amount of time.
I realize I walk a plank probably alone here, when once you have spoken; as it is no surprise the esteem you are held in.  But I must as a matter of conscience, not be a fan this time.  And that troubles me.  But again, we are mortals.  Thank you for reading this if you see this.</description>
