Dialog with Conservatives

Lillian
I completely agree with you, Michelle. It's important for wronged individuals to reclaim their dignity when it has been bruised.

Taynia
I can't agree more!! he made a fool out of her and his staff....let him sing about crying in Argentina by himself!

Cathy
I am not happy with Governor Sanford. He had been doing so many things right now he bucked it up.

Rose
This just confirms Mitt Romney was the right candidate as we wrote over two years ago (by process of elimination). All the other candidates were serial adulterers.


Jeanne
I don't know about this. I can see both sides, you're darned if you do and darned if you don't.
But the one thing I think we have to remember is that we are all human and unfortunately he may pay dearly for this. Which also means that Jenny and his four boys pay dearly too!

Joe
We need more information before we can fairly judge this man. There were separated for two weeks.

Lisa
Thank God she has some gumption!

William
well, true, but mainstream America is not open minded enough to have a Mormon in the White House, yet...

Rose
Yes they are.


Christian
Rose - I am totally with you on this one! and William, in an era of "firsts" for everything I would contend that America is entirely "open minded enough to have a Mormon in the White House."

David
What a woman. True class and dignity. For a long time I had respect for Gov Sanford, today it is gone. I am sorry but I cannot have respect for a man that would do that to his wife. What a coward and a jerk.

Brigitte
I am impressed with Jenny's desire to maintain her dignity in the eyes of her four sons. That's something Mr. Sanford didn't think of before allowing some parts of his body to overtake his brain.

Clifford
why is it a catholic can be a president but a MORMON? i dont get it. whats wrong with having any Religious man as a president? Why cant a MORMON be president? what a crazy statement that is William

Rose
Hear anyone complaining about Harry Reid's religion? As far as Sanford goes, he has known for months he was being considered for 2012. Therefore, he's also arrogant and self-delusional. Guess that explains the pained expression.

Christian
...the evangelicals (the only one's not "open minded enough to have a Mormon") will be split between Huck and Palin and will consequently be canceled out. They will then ignore their unjust animosities towards Mormons in the face of another four years of Obamification.

Jonathan
I think she was right to do that. The manner and tone of that statement showed dignity and polish. Mark Sanford made a huge mistake that he will have to reconcile.
As to the Judgment of, I feel that should remain between him and the Almighty. It is not for us.

Reid
Jenny Sanford has always demonstrated herself to be a classy woman. And she continues to do so.

Rose
We cannot afford another split in the party.

Craig
She is a remarkable woman. She made the right choice, se tried, he didn't-Goodbye

William
You know darn well that they almost didnt elect John F. Kennedy precisely BECAUSE he was Catholic, and they had a press conference where he explained that he would not take orders from the Papacy. That is why JFK was the FIRST Roman Catholic president. And you know there is a prejudice against Jews, Atheists, people of color, and females (who only got the right to vote in 1918, which is not so very long ago. And Civil Rights didnt really get moving at all until 1950s and 1960s. So you know perfectly well that the American majority will be prejudiced against LDS (Latter Day Saints), and Jehovah's Witnesses. Things should not be that way, but they are and only very slowly do they change.

Jim
Her statement was truly classy. Maybe she should run for his expiring term!


William
The only crazy thing is to live in denial of the fact that America has several centuries of bigotry and prejudice which it is only slowly outgrowing.

Rose
Hello William Van Winkle, a black man was just elected the most powerful man on earth.

Deb
God bless Jenny and her boys!!!!!

William
yes, Rose, but how many centuries did that take? hmmm...

William
A mere two centuries ago, we were busily committing genocide against the Native Americans, blacks were in slavery, women could not vote... and now suddenly we are such a fair minded free society, and a lot of history never happened? I know people in the South who despise Lincoln and think he was a krypto-Communist. And there are vast areas of America where people cling to guns and religion.


Chuck
It's great to see our tax dollars goto waste because he can't keep it in his pants!

Rose
Bang

Radford
William, I'm from the South. Lincoln wasn't a krypto-Communist, he was an anti-Federalist. Please, get your history right.

William
I also question the notion that a president of the USA is "the most powerful man on earth" ... in fact, I think that chauvinistic attitudes like that are part of the disease that afflicts the American mentality, that America is the greatest, the world's policeman, with gunpoint democracy. What is the matter with Canada, and New Zealand Australia and Great Britain and France, and any number of other countries. Why is America any better than the rest? And for your information, no president is "our commander in chief" because the USA is not a military state (yet). A president is only "commander in chief" of the armed forces.
It not the history that needs correcting, but the mentality of various right-wing groups. I have personally heard people in the South speak at length about Lincoln as a communist, and then play a lot of "Wish I were in Dixie" music.


Radford
Canada couldn't beat Vermont William. You know it, I know it, the Canadians know it.

William
yes, but, Radford, your attitude is precisely a symptom of the disease which afflicts right wing American Republican war-monger extremists. The world is not about "beating up" every other nation. The world is about getting along, peacefully, before we all die.

I dont have to leave this country, I merely have to sit back and watch the conservatives crumble under the weight of their own prejudices

Duane
William. Wake up. Quit dreaming. This country is the envy of all others in the world. Many hate it because we do good and many want to live in it because we do good. Regardless of anything, to have a country this great, you should realize that it has to be fought for, against people that do not like giving its citizens freedom. Simply put, they want to kill us for our way of life. Unless they learn they are wrong to attack us, they should die for that notion. Dead. Get it?


William
America is declining in part because of the conservatives' attitudes of "might makes right", and "my way or the highway"

Rose
Goodnight Comrade William

Tim
Jeeze this is embarrassing, Republicans left and right admitting they're having issues controlling their ding dong's. Freakin idiot's.

Duane
Gee Tim, that's the difference between GOP cheaters and DEM cheaters. They admit it and don't lie under oath and cost the govt. tons of money only to see the admittance.
Now who's babysitting John Edward's bastard kid tonight?

Tim
Isn't that the truth Duane. I'm Republican btw, but I call it like I see it. I expect that from DumbocRATS who routinely support fruity tootie marriage, no excuse for a Republican.
