Sanford broke public policy and the law
It’s a private life matter when an elected official has love dillemmas to resolve, but it’s a public concern when he:
a) uses public funds to pay the airfare to visit his lover. And no, repaying it should not mean exoneration any more than it would if I stole your car, then brought it back;
b) takes a trip and discusses trade with a foreign representative in violation of US policy;
c) especially when discussing agricultural trade with a rep from a country that defaulted on its debts, harming major US farmers.
It seems Sanford owes a few more apologies and should be investigated for apparent law violations.

Yes, exactly, I have been screaming this, where is the conversation that he failed his sworn duty? I agree, his personal life is no one’s business but when he so brazenly abuses his power the dialogue needs to change. Everyone is aware of the truth of the matter and once again, ignore it. All anyone wants to focus on is the sex.

finally i read that someone has said what i have been screaming, yes, absolutely he abdicated his legal responsibilities. who cares what his personal life is, but of course, once again, that is the focus; he even has the nerve to act somewhat a victim. i want to hear about the fact that he lied to his staff or asked them to lie to the public, how he left his post for non business matters, and to say the least, flew at least one time, on tax payer money.
