- Last Friday Mark Sanford said that since King David didn't resign when he had an affair that he wouldn't either.
- Then yesterday he said that it was God's will for him to remain Governor of South Carolina.
- He also admitted in the same AP interview that he had inappropriate contact with other women but that he was doing it to "blow off steam." Also one of his love romps was attended by his "spiritual adviser."
*Update:
Couple other things to get straight here.
In the AP interview Sanford calls his mistress his "soul mate" and that they are truly in love. His exact words are his affair is a "love story." And here we have PA Republican state senator John Eichelberger stating he opposes same-sex marriage rights because it is "wrong" and will lead to "polygamy." That sounds like something Sanford would be all for. Of course gay marriage won't lead to such scare tactics, but according to their argument against granting equal rights, Republicans' very own lifestyles would be widely accepted and legal.
**Update:
They just can't quit. Their walk with God is extraordinary in its composition that they are actually just walking alone. Joe the Plumber says he talked to God and God told him not to run for office.
Asked if he has plans to run for public office, he replied, “I hope not. You know, I talked to God about that and he was like, ‘No.’”Every step they take is guided by God. Their adulterous affairs are undertaken with careful understanding that God is with them; they even bring their preachers along to join them. They reference the Bible citing proof they don't have to resign from office. They run and don't run for office with God's permission. It's a special walk with God I'm sure everyone would like to have. But the only way to do it is to be Republican.
