And my favorite comment at the Chron is from nonewsisgoodnews "1998, Sanford was the ONLY Republican in Congress to refuse to support President Clinton when Saddam Hussein was threatening to attack American forces. Every other Republican in Congress voted in support of the President and our troops on the battlefield.
.
.Sanford claimed that defending American forces against an attack by Saddam would "distract the nation from its FIRST priority...removing an immoral leader from office". Sanford wanted to suspend all military action against Saddam until AFTER President Clinton was impeached for what Sanford called "his immorality".
.
Yet, today we find out that Sanford was a FAKE...he pretended to be a "Christian Family Values" leader, and he was sneaking off to South America to be with his floozy...a liar, an adulterer, and a hypocrite of the first order."
I won't hold my breath waiting for it. But maybe the day will come when those people who insist on telling us that the government has no place in providing services at little or no cost to it's citizens in need, politicians and government have no place in holding themselves up as legislators and protectors of family values. The government receives taxes from it's citizens in return for which it should provide services that can be quantified in an real world way. In exchange for my tax dollars I can count the number of roads paved, pot holes filled, libraries built, children in need fed a breakfast and lunch at school. I can not count the number of families the government assists in finding their way to a happy "traditional values" existence in exchange for anything. It shouldn't be the governments business to define the "values" important to your family
