I thought Sanford began offshore Drilling, on his Ho, when he walked out on his wife and kids, years ago…why is he studying it?

Look what the alternative would have been.Can you imagine Drilling the Busch?
Just the thought makes me sic. :-)
I like Sanford, the politician.When you can debate a card board cut out of the nastiest socialist in America and win every debate, you got something going for ya.

Bush was not a cheater. That may not mean much to people like you, but it means something to me…

If a man will lie to the one woman he pledged his life to, what will he do to the voters???…I doubt that makes any impression on you…but lies, and a liar, are why the country is in such a mess, under Obama…

What’s up with Mark’s marriage plans? Per P@C he would not discuss it and said he will not talk about his private life. Hard to believe that a man so in love with his mistress that he gave up his wife and family would take his time to make her the new Mrs. Sanford.

Maria’s not looking so hot anymore so I guess he’s rethinking marrying her. Houston’s a great place to get laid quietly. What happened to the horse trainer Jenny was drilling in Aiken?

Yes, it’s the horse owner. Mister Millionaire somebody. But he wasn’t good enough for her, I presume. I hear Jenny’s wound up like a clock, very intense, and imagine that Mark has mated with Chapur to get unwound.

Are you intimating Chapur is a “loose” woman??? No news there. I hear the wives of Argentina breathed a sigh of relief when she got engaged and moved to the US.
Good for Jenny! At least she has integrity enough to date unmarried men.

After reading Jenny’s book, living with him 24/7, and dealing with his sons’ justified animosity, Chapur is probably rethinking marriage!
Sanford recently had shmoozy things to say about Jeb Busch, Rick Perry, and Rand Paul. Maybe he is going more establishment wack-job. This junket to the Gulf signals that he is having a “studied” or “nuanced” reversal of opinion. That, or it is a free food and drink get-a-way for him and his honey.

Tim Scott: Gosh these sand pumps really are huge in front of the Tides Hotel…just look at all this sand……

Tim Goodwin: Yeah, and check out the WIND ENERGY that is blowing all that sand around too…….I wonder just how much tax revenue the citizens of Folly could make off the wind around here..!!

Mayor Riley: We are not putting up WInd Turbines around here no matter how much BLOOD for OIL is saves. We can not allow citizens or cities to become self sufficient…why would we need to send Tim or Lindsey to DC..?

Wil (bartender at Surf Bar): Who ever scheduled a sand bulldozer in front of the TIdes Hotel this last weekend is a real genius. Who in their right minds would schedule this type of work to be in front of the biggest beach party in Charleston.?

Nancy Mace: Wish I had known about the bulldozer schedule too. ….Those guys are hot. I could have scheduled a calendar shoot and got a bunch of fellow cadets out here to help raise some funds for veterans….and wind turbines..!

Sanford’s votes against offshore drilling for natural gas is reason enough to dump him come 2016. If Sanford has an interest, it sure is not for US energy dependence. Most likely he smells a “lease” land to Shell Oil deal to build a LNG terminal somewhere on the Sanford Moonlite Bunny Ranch.

Mark Sanford was willing to sacrifice EVERYTHING by taking “AMERICA’s DEPENDENCE ON FOREIGN DRILLING” and “owning it” so that we don’t have to.

The man is a hero of Biblical proportions.

He is drilling for YOUR future…you unappreciative morons!!!

Sanford joined forces with MoveOn.org in opposing an international seafood business in Beaufort. I have a copy of his letter to DHEC asking them to deny needed permits. His actions were solely based on rumor, lies, and innuendo. Let’s hope he gets the facts he needs to make an informed decision about energy exploration off our coast.
