Calls from South Carolina
by andrea on Aug.31, 2009, under Week 11
There have been cries from South Carolina for the resignation of the state’s “disgraced” governor, Mark Sanford. House Republicans would consider an impeachment — which seems to them inevitable — an utter embarrassment. Some, as The New York Times reports, are “disappointed in him, angry with him, and in some ways disgusted by the whole thing.” What are your thoughts on the Sanford scandal? Should he step down?

Yes, he should step down. Not specifically because of the affair, but due to use of public funds/time, just as any other politician involved in using their position/Treasury to garner personal/political benefits from should…like Charlie Rangel, John Murtha, Robert Byrd, Diane Feinstein, Chris Dodd, Kent Conrad…and yes I’d include any GOP congressfolk who are doing the same thing.
