Mark Sanford’s Sinking Ship Goes National

REPORT: “LUV GOV’S” CONGRESSIONAL OFFICE IS “NOT TAKEN SERIOUSLY” IN WASHINGTON, D.C.

|| By FITSNEWS || U.S. Rep. Mark Sanford (a.k.a. “the Luv Gov,” “Congressman TMI”) is back in the national news.

And not in a good way …

The latest rat to scurry from Sanford’s sinking ship – his longtime confidante and most recent chief of staff Scott English – has drawn the attention of Washington, D.C. “social anthropologist” Kate Bennett.

Specifically, Bennett has caught on to the fact Sanford has lost “his fourth chief of staff in 18 months.”  To a stamp collecting club, too.

“The buzz on the Hill is that it’s hard to stay loyal to someone who’s exposed his staff to so much unsavory publicity,” Bennett wrote of English’s departure.

Wait … is she talking about his girl problems?  Or his ideological fellating of liberal U.S. Speaker of the House John Boehner?  Or that new book revealing what a total jerk-off he is?

Hmmm …

From Bennett’s story …

”It sounds to me like Mark Sanford has joined the Betty Sutton Terrible Bosses Caucus,” says one former congressional staffer, referring to the former Ohio congresswoman who went through a large number of staffers. As for English’s departure, another insider says it’s likely the result of working in a Congressional office “that hasn’t exactly been taken seriously by anyone on the Hill.”

Ouch …

Translation?  Sanford’s office is a joke – meaning when residents of the first congressional district need their concerns taken seriously in Washington, D.C., they are S.O.L.

We were the first outlet to break the news of English’s departure … and more importantly the “how” behind the story.

And while English refuses to speak to us, he did offer Bennett a quote …

I have had a long and somewhat storied career and I’m now looking forward to using my college history degree; stamp collecting is a means to that end.

Wait … what?

A “long and storied career?”

Who in the hell does this guy think he is?  And seriously: What sort of “long and storied career” winds up at a stamp collecting club?

Sheesh …

Sounds to us like Sanford’s chronic narcissism has grown increasingly contagious …

RAPID REACTION

Fat asses English was mainly known for not returning phone calls, making decisions in a vacuum, and weighing 400 pounds.

He masterminded the Zais administration, that has disappeared without a trace.

Fat boy English misspoke. His career has been average. No more,, no less.

Great point: That says a lot about how filthy, corrupt and low-down the Democrat Party has sunk.

They don’t have a candidate that can even come close to this reprobate.

If the Democrats don’t so a MAJOR overhaul of their Hate-America, party of disaster and failure brand, the party may just doe all over the country like it is dead in SC.

4 Worst Presidents for deficit spending, notice that the only President since Reagan that is not on the list is Clinton…a Democrat…

You are letting your hate cloud your objectivity…

President Barack Obama

President Obama has the largest deficits, totaling $6.8 trillion projected for his eight years in office. Obama started off launching the $787 billion economic stimulus package that cut taxes, extended unemployment benefits, and funded job-creating public works projects. The Obama tax cut added $858 billion to the debt in its first two years. Most important was increased defense spending, which added as much as $800 billion a year. Federal income decreased due to lower tax receipts from the 2008 financial crisis.

Both Presidents Bush and Obama had to contend with higher mandatory spending for Social Security and Medicare than their predecessors did. That’s because health care costs were rising, and the American population was aging. In 2010, Obama launched the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act to reduce the debt by $143 billion by 2020. For more, see National Debt Under Obama.

President George W. Bush

President Bush is next, racking up $3.294 trillion over two terms. He responded to the attacks on 9/11 with the War on Terror, driving military spending to at least $600 billion a year. The Bush tax cuts, also known as EGTRRA and JGTRRA, cut taxes to address the 2001 recession. Unfortunately, the cuts did not sunset when the recession was over, adding to the housing boom and depleting revenues during the 2008 recession.

President Ronald Reagan

President Reagan added $1.412 trillion in deficits during his two terms. He fought the 1982 recession by cutting the top income tax rate from 70% to 28%, and the corporate rate from 48% to 34%. He also increased government spending by 2.5% a year. This included a 35% increase in the defense budget, and an expansion of Medicare. Although $1.412 trillion doesn’t sound like a lot, compared to 2012 debt levels, in fact Reagan’s economic policies nearly doubled the debt during his Presidency.

President George H.W. Bush

President George H.W. Bush racked up a $1.03 trillion deficit in one term. He responded to Iraq’s invasion of Kuwait with Desert Storm. He oversaw the $125 billion bailout to end the 1989 Savings and Loan crisis. Part of his deficit was due to lost tax revenue from the 1991 recession.

Although most other Presidents ran deficits, none comes close to these four.

Facts! Facts! Facts! Tsk! Tsk! Tsk!

Obama's made a mess August 2, 2015 at 6:57 pm

You want facts:

When you IGNORE national security, it’s easy spend less, especially when you’ve got Newt knocking the living shit out of you, everytime you tried to Obama us (Bankrupt us.) That’s the only reason Clinton’s economy was not as bad. The GOP Congress ran that show.

And: Bush had to fight wars that Clinton was responsible for. And his spending was still paltry until the Democrat Congress took over.

And Reagan had Democrats in Congress to deal with, yet he was responsible, like Bush, for over overseeing an economy that was ROBUST, and generated revenues.

Obama, and the Democrats, SUCK on ALL counts.

UR last to figure it out August 2, 2015 at 3:38 pm

In the 1990s, Sanford was the most disliked Congress member (by staff) in all of DC.

The fact that you’re just becoming aware of this, is a testament to your ignorance and lack political acumen.

If a man can walk out on the woman he swore before God and family to cherish and support, while the four boys who love him more than life stood by in heartbreak, why in the world would he care about some jockeying, small-minded politicos in the din of whores known as Washington?

According to a passage in Swaim’s book, Sanford would naturally relish the attention of good press but he also got off on the attention from the bad press of 2008-2009. All that centrality and drama is a win-win for Sanford. He can spin it through his cycling of rage, charm, and pity to good effect. Typical behavior when dealing with Narcissist Personality Disorder.

That makes 2 congressional offices that are not taken seriously. Joe Wilson’s staff is a bunch of hopeless lightweights with no clout who are also not taken seriously. His DC office avoids any interaction on anything except capitol tours. The District office led by that idiot Butch Wallace is a real joke. They lie and make promises of help and then good luck ever hearing from them again. It’s always someone else’s fault that a constitutent can’t get help, or if helping one constituent may piss off another then Wilson is nowhere to be found. BTW, Wilson has received NO federal funding for roads and don’t forget he gave away the money that was available years ago for bypass. In retrospect, Wilson’s office is a bunch of worthless slugs. Could even be worse than Sanfrauds.

You described a Democrat. If Sanford was honest about what he is, he would not win.

Not to mention: It’s the Libertarian First District that elected Sanford, not the state of S.C.

And: Sanford would have been impeached as Gov. if it were not for FITSNews promising to spread dirty laundry on any GA member who voted to impeach.

Sanford reminds me of the odor in the room, maybe church or the Jaycees, when someone farts. You don’t know who but you suspect. And the odor lingers and everyone is in agony but they cannot do anything about it. And the smell permeates but people are too polite to complain.
