Carolina is for Cheaters

Have people learned nothing from the web of lies spun by Mark Sanford and John Edwards?

They want to see the Indian lady taken down. [Way to play the reverse racist, sexist card Erick] You know what the sad thing is? Even if Folks has evidence, even if we find out that after a week of slowly stringing up Nikki Haley and distracting the campaign this clearly disturbed individual is telling the truth, Haley is still a better candidate and leader than any of the rest.

You know what's really sad?  That so called social conservatives don't care if this "Indian lady" cheated on her husband.  That's what's sad.  Those who are so eager to make a crime out of any number of immoral acts don't blink an eye when one of their own is charged with adultery.  That's sad and it's a complete embarrassment to the GOP.

Full disclosure: I'm not a social conservative, in that I'm socially conservative with my own life but don't advocate laws forcing my personal views onto others.  But even at that, I'm still repulsed by candidates who clearly have a lot to hide and very likely are guilty of the indiscretion that are accused of.  We should expect more from our candidates.  It's not just sex and just because Democrats engage in equally sleazy behavior doesn't make it okay when one of our own get caught.

Where's the proof, you say?  Well, there wasn't proof with Sanford or Edwards at first, but there sure was a lot of fire.  And as Jim Galloway points out, Erickson hasn't exactly always waited for proof before jumping to conclusions either.  I saw all I needed to see in the text messages Folks published.  In due course, we'll all find out that Nikki Haley is a liar AND an adulterer.
