Sanford: I’ve Got Important Backers

Having disappointed many Christian conservative voters with the revelation of his philandering ways, Gov. Mark Sanford (R) of South Carolina has a new angle on why he should stay in office and not be impeached: God wants me fighting for liberty as governor.

“I feel absolutely committed to the cause, to what God wanted me to do with my life. I have got this blessing of being engaged in a fight for liberty, which is constantly being threatened.”
