Mark Sanford Is The Latest Republican Who Has Cheated On His Wife!

OMG,both political parties in our two-party system have folks with morality issues!Is anyone really surprised by that? So,do not buy the Republican's assertion that they are the party of family values.Mark Sanford is the latest guy to prove that.And,boy,did he do that in a big way today!

The South Carolina governor had been missing for 5 days.And he lied to his staff about his whereabouts.Because he revealed at a press conference today that he was in Argentina cheating on his wife with another woman.

And the fact that Mark Sanford was with his paramour on Father's Day,instead of his family,really puts a damper on the Republican party's claim that they represent family values.

Here's more from MSNBC:

" During a Wednesday news conference at his office in Columbia, Gov. Mark Sanford admitted to having an extramarital affair — information that surfaced after his recent, secret trip to Argentina.

The married father of four emotionally apologized to his wife and staff, saying, "I've let down a lot of people."

Sanford said he met the woman almost eight years ago, but "about a year ago, it sparked into something more than that." The governor said his wife and family have known about it for the past five months.

He also announced that he was resigning as chairman of the Republican Governors' Association.

Earlier, the South Carolina governor told a newspaper he was in South America, not hiking the Appalachian Trail as his staff had told the public to explain his sudden absence. He said he "wanted to do something exotic" to unwind after losing a fight over federal stimulus money.

The State newspaper reported that Sanford arrived Wednesday morning at Atlanta's international airport on a flight from Buenos Aires, where he drove along the coast of what he called a "beautiful" city.

The Republican governor told the South Carolina newspaper he had considered hiking, but at the last minute changed his mind.

"But I said 'no' I wanted to do something exotic," Sanford told the newspaper.
