"Whether we are becoming a more libertarian or a libertine society is a matter of debate. But the real take-away is that Republicans talk a good game on “family values” but don’t take it all that seriously."
"Democrats should also recognize that, as the Cook Political analyst David Wasserman tweeted last night, there is “fundamental problem for Dems: if they can’t beat Sanford”: How can ”they beat less damaged GOP candidates” in other races? In a gerrymandered country, they probably can’t. Their consolation prize is the ability to mock the GOP’s obsession with “traditional marriage” only when it comes to gays."
To be fair (which Liberals will not be) Sanford was urged not to run by other Republicans and received no support from the national GOP. Time will tell if he becomes a revered and beloved senior statesman of the party like Bill Clinton. Astute readers will recall that women's rights advocate Clinton had an adulterous affair with an employee young enough to be his daughter. We will not describe the acts he committed because this is a family-friendly blog.
