Alec Baldwin admonishes liberals to just ignore Republican South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford’s revelations (along with considerable crying) of his affair with some Argentina hottie.  Sanford apparently has traveled to Argentina to visit his girl friend for years, using public money.

Liberals really don’t care if Sanford is cheating, and it certainly is a private matter with his wife.  However, ignoring this hypocrisy would never mean that the political right would do likewise, even in the future.  In fact, the Political Right loves the fact that liberals are forgiving and don’t bludgeon them.  The right views this as a weakness.

Likewise, this is the same problem that Obama has with his spirit of compromise.  Obama can be willing to compromise for his entire term but this does not mean that the political right will ever do likewise.  In the process, Obama is forfeiting an opportunity to change the country.  Obama better wake up to the fact that the country voted for him to change it.  If Obama is not the agent of change then he is the wrong person for President and somebody else needs to be elected.

Baldwin says to let it pass.  I say no.  Sanford should be run out of government forever, but not because he cheated on his wife.  He should be run out of government because he used public funds for his own purposes.   He left his state and nobody knew where he was for 2 to 4 days.  His staff lied about where he was.  Sanford is unfit for office and his hypocrisy runs deep.

America is doomed.
