I don't forgive him. He can come to my apartment and beg for all I care. Sanctimonious little prick. He needs to just go away. Go to South America or somewhere.

1. If you are not a person of faith, he was not apologizing to you.

[Are_grits_groceries]

2. Excuse me!

he said he was apologizing to the people of the state of SC. He didn't make different groups.

7. maybe there was a disclaimer at the bottom of the screen.... i only apologize

to republicans and christians.

[roody]

8. Sorry, I didn't read very far into his statement. I read

"I apologize to people of faith."

[SCantiGOP]

3. agreed

I begged people not to vote for him the second time he ran. I wonder how they feel now.

"Govenor Sanford Predicts Stimulus Will Result In ‘A Thing Called Slavery"

Speaking to the Lexington County GOP last week, Gov. Mark Sanford (R-SC) lamented his defeat in his quest to reject American Recovery and Reinvestment Act funds for schools, the unemployed, and for job creation and retention. On June 4, the South Carolina Supreme Court ordered Sanford to accept the $700 million in stimulus funds he had opposed.

To defend his grandstanding, Sanford has previously lashed out at his critics, saying it would be tantamount to “fiscal child abuse” to accept the federal money. He has also compared President Obama to Zimbabwe’s Robert Mugabe, because of his fiscal policies. But now Sanford is taking his hyperbolic rhetoric to another level, claiming that the stimulus will result in “a thing called slavery”:

SANFORD: A guy from the northeast did a study on generational accounting. Generational accounting says what is the imputed tax for a young person born in America today? And remarkably, that number is 82, which at all ain’t that far from a thing called slavery. If you’re giving away 82% of every dollar you earn every day and every week and every month, A, it’s not a good deal, B, it collapses the capitalistic system because nobody has any initiative to work at that point, and C, it really isn’t that far from slavery. And what the Republic was originally set up was on the notion that was just talked about a moment ago, which is this larger notion of freedom. And economic freedom is a part of the larger notion of freedom.

"UPDATE:Gov. Sanford has gone missing. No one knows where he is, nor has anyone seen him in the last four days. Sanford spokesman Joel Sawyer told the AP that Sanford was taking time to "recharge" after his failed fight against federal stimulus money."
