Ok, I get it's South Carolina -- conservative stronghold.
But someone seriously needs to explain this to me.
The modern day conservative party has labelled itself family values and well...defender of all things of a certain religion which I will no longer mention to avoid this being locked.
Mark Sanford, for those not aware, skipped out on his duties as governor and used taxpayer dollars to fund trips to see his mistress. He also has been found to be violating the court order of protection -- something about going to the house or some such.
The best part? He pushed for Clinton to be impeached.
Do conservatives not realize they lose credibility every time this happens? In other discussion I've seen conservatives actually DEFENDING the guy.
"But Clinton!" they say.
Since when to two wrongs make a right?
And if Sanford gets a pass for Clinton's affair, then shouldn't Obama get a pass on Benghazi because Bush failed to stop 9/11?
How is it that this sort of blatant hypocrisy can exist in a political party that has such a clear ideology opposed to it?
Meanwhile, in other parts of the country, the family values party is forcing out people who have expressed support for marriage equality. So apparently family values has an incredibly flexible definition. I just don't get it.
