Republican Mark Sanford caught with his pants down

By David Minks II · June 25, 2009

It's always amused me when politicians try to take the moral high ground when they themselves don't seem to understand the concept of "morality". You can't say "DON'T DO THAT!" if you're doing it too.

What I mean by this is Republican Superstar Mark Sanford, who wanted to impeach Bill Clinton for sleeping around on his wife with an intern citing a lack of "moral legitimacy", just admitted to cheating on his own wife for the past year. Hypocrite, much?

For some bizarre reason we in America used to look toward our politicians for leadership. We strangely think since we elected them as our leaders that they should act the part. This is why I'm starting to like Sarah Palin more and more. She seems to be hated by both Democrats AND Republicans, so I figure she must be doing something right.

There's no question about it that the end is nigh.

I see it as more likely that Palin is just doing so many things wrong that even the major-party politicians have had their fill of her. I don't really have anything good to say about her except that at least she sticks behind her opinions. Unfortunately, there's not much good that can be said about those actual opinions.

UK politicians don't cheat on their wives, just the taxpayers.

I have heard about the series of questionable expenses some of the UK politicians tried to get the taxpayer to pay for. Seems like politicians are relatively the same on either side of the pond. The most recent example is Mark Sanford who is being investigated about his "business" trips to Argentina when he visited his mistress.

And from what I understand about Palin, the reason she's not popular among Republicans is that she fought party corruption when the "good ol' boy" network was well in place. She's hated among Democrats for being Pro-Life when that goes against the current Democratic party line.

I remember the days when you couldn't tell the difference between Democrats OR Republicans. On some things (like spending money that isn't theirs to spend) you still can't tell the difference.
