Sanford: King David Didn't Resign, So Why Should I?

6/26/2009

I thought about submitting this but thought King David might be a bit obscure for the Sift. Since you're mostly God hating heathens.
Anyway .. yeah .. disgusting and offensive comment from Sanford to be sure.

^ I would hope most of us are still edjumicated enough to know a Bible reference when we hear it.
If not, the Google gods will provide the bounteous knowledge we seek.


Just keep telling your strange gods.

Epicenters! I doubt he knows what that word means.

If only we would have had Kucinich in the driver seat....

It was never meant as a slight on the intelligence or education of anyone here. I think VS is full of very smart people.
Simply stating that the vast majority of Atheists (which the Sift feels heavily slanted towards) have never actually read the bible. Phrases and pieces for sure. Whatever. I'm sure you're right .. most people will google a topic and get themselves educated before firing off on an internet forum.

I would opine that most atheists have actually read the bible (as much or more than an average Christian), and likely investigated other faiths as well to arrive at their point of view. It might seem like they only have read certain phrases, because there are so many that Christians simply choose to overlook which boggle the mind, and we're still waiting for a good answer

Is adultery cause for resigning? We don't think Clinton should have resigned, so I think it depends on whether or not we think a politician in question is a good person or not. What do you think?

Clinton just got a BJ, and didnt fuck up as bad as Bush.

AS BAD. There is definitely a scale but I can only reference reality... I know that during Clinton, bad shit went down he could have stopped... under Bush, he MADE bad shit go down that wasn't even necessary.

Sanford skipped fathers day with his many sons and wife to go cheat on his wife specifically. I think there's a difference in behavior, even though its all infidelity.

Clinton plays the sax, how about that? I dont see Bush with an instrument. Key difference! Bush is barely qualified to play the Bongo Drums.

Sanford is doing nothing great, and he only abuses his power.. just like Bush.

I'm still formulating why its different.. but my brain tells me it is and to keep trying.

Disappearing from the state for 5 days (10 days planned, supposedly), without telling staff and family where you're going, without security, or a way to be contacted, is probably grounds for calling for resignation.

Also, vehemently trying to turn down stimulus is also probably grounds for calling for resignation, but that's just me...

I think the affair is none of our business, except for the exceptional hypocrisy, given how holier than thou he's been in the past, especially with regard to one William Jefferson Clinton.

The King David mythos is far worse than what this guy did. King David actually had the lover of the woman he wanted to nail sent to die on the front lines of a dangerous battle. Christians have some pretty fucked up heroes. I get the feeling that the small percentage of christians who have actually read the bible comprehend very little of what they read - Sanford is proving my point here.

Also, as far as I know, Kings (be they real or imagined) generally don't resign.

This is just WRONG, WRONG, WRONG!!! First of all, David also murdered a man. Does Sanford think he should be allowed to stay in office after that? 2nd, David wasn't elected to serve the people of South Carolina. 3rd, DAVID FELL from his favored position in the sight of God and was unforgiven because of how great his sins were. 4th, How much more of a doofus can you be? I have never been so mad at a Governor of another state as I am right now. What a deuche bag!

When you are a public servant, you better believe that an affair is our business. We're citezens, not subjects.

Kick his worthless heiney outta office!
