Mark Sanford, the up and coming shining star of the republican party, ready at any microphone to talk against the democrats, ready to demonstrate through his on going harangues with his own state legislature to not take stimulus money because it might provoke his hard as nail ultra conservative republican right wing ideologues not to consider his name for the possible 2012 run for president. and Mark Sanford a steward of keeping marriage, an "opposite sex" thing, because it is the american way and the bible tells us so. this same governor Mark Sanford who worries out loud that gay marriage would rot away at the sacred institution of marriage. just admitted with tears running wildly down his "two timing" cheeks he loved another woman while married.
Mark Sanford, woefully told the viewing public that not only did he lie about his whereabouts for the last few days, (his staff said he went to the Appalachian Trail to reflect upon a very stressful time in office, very american place to go to reflect, but in reality he went to Argentina to reflect on a romantic tryst with another woman who happens not be his wife. i suppose one can confuse the Appalachian Trail with Argentina, they both begin with A, what does the bible say about liars) but he went to Argentina to spend time with a dear old friend who basically became his newly announced "other woman".
interviewing some of his good "ole boys" republican members of the south carolina legislature, they all said governor Stanford was brave to come forward it must have been difficult. DIFFICULT, cheating on your wife something difficult. it should be easy not to cheat, especially if you have crusaded and given speech after speech about the sanctity and special purpose of marriage. i guess it becomes DIFFICULT when you speak out of both sides of your mouth. you become a bit tongue twisted.
so once again another one bites the dust. i would normally not care, as if these men want to be adulterers it is their free will, BUT both governor Stanford, and senator Ensign (of last weeks infidelity score sheet), both spend time speaking about how two men or two women should NEVER marry because it would harm the institution of marriage, and religiously its just not right. how precious and unique the INSTITUTION OF MARRIAGE is.
i would usually not care about the escapades of these two politicians, but since they have constantly been concerned about my life as a gay man over and over again, and preaching how as a gay man i should not be allowed to marry, i so do care about how they live their lives.
there are so many gay couples who do not cheat or have affairs who love one another deeper, longer and with more respect than both the governor and senator, yet we are told by these two "do as i say not as i do" hypocrites that lbgt marriages are a sham and worse, tear at the moral fibers of the holiest of holy THE INSTITUTION OF MARRIAGE. while they go off and have an affair.
when are smart, insightful, non hating, non bigoted americans going to see, that the only way the INSTITUTION OF MARRIAGE survives, is when two people commit to one another, and say i love you and mean it, male or male, female or female man or woman. that the INSTITUTION OF MARRIAGE will remain strong when it is respected, not taken for granted, as governor Stanford and senator Ensign have proven in their behaviors.
when will all the charades end?
so another one, and another one, and another one bites the dust!
