Welcome to Our Hoosier Board!

Most of the posters here have been around for nearly a decade now. You'll find their knowledge and insight to be second to none. We have a really strong community and value everyone's opinions.

Feel free to jump into any thread and voice your opinion with conviction. We love heated debates and even some fanbase ribbing from time to time. We pride ourselves on the lack of moderation needed to make this board successful.

Please remember that we have been around many years and have an astute ability to tell the difference between an immature, childish, trash-talking troll and a passionate fan voicing his or her opinion. It is at the discretion of Jazen and myself whether any moderating actions should be taken at any given time. It's a very, very rare thing. In other words, no worries....you'll be fine!

Cheers,
sirbrianwilson

Not very substantial i know, but first Ensign, now Sanford of SC. What is up with that. Both were guys that were being talked about some as future presidential candidates. I don't know a lot about him, but for what it's worth, Sanford seemed like a legit, small government, libertarian-minded type. Which would have made him a much more attractive candidate than either of the jokers we had running in the last election - for me at least.

Lots of people have affairs, not just politicians.

However, I have to slap my head thinking about him sabotaging his political future for a piece of ass.

If you'll read the subtext for many of those old strips, you'll find the heart of an old-fashioned Libertarian. And I'd be a Libertarian, if they weren't all a bunch of tax-dodging professional whiners." - Berkeley Breathed

Well she was apparently Argentinian so maybe it was worth it.

He was in the cat bird seat. You have to win two of Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina. he had South Carolina in the bag and his Libertarian leaning views made him a tough out in New Hampshire. He really dicked the dog

Well his wife certainly looks like Molly Midwest, so I hope she was a hottie. Poor Guy.

I'd need to see pictures before making that call.

Yep, I kinda liked him. Big news down here. How good of a President could he have been if his judgement is this fucked up ?

I don't know how many old timers you've made friends with down here BG, but screwing around on your wife doesn't seem that unusual among the older crowd.

Look, I'm going to go ahead and say it. Affairs happen and although that certainly downgrades his character rating, more importantly actually GETTING CAUGHT with a South American woman means his intelligence is also limited. That's like getting caught with a Vegas masseuse.....you've got to be an idiot. Too bad, because I loved his fight to decline the stimulus money.

disclaimer, I have personally never been to South America, nor have I visited a Vegas masseuse, but I know enough people who have and can affirm the above statement. :huh:

The body knows what fighters don't: how to protect itself. A neck can only twist so far. Twist it just a hair more and the body says, "Hey, I'll take it from here because you obviously don't know what you're doing... Lie down now, rest, and we'll talk about this when you regain your senses." It's called the knockout mechanism.

I went out of state for three days and wondered what would be posted on this board about it. One post of seven threads, most offering sympathy.

To those with the R's next to their name: don't you see the hypocrisy here?

aaron -- in terms of your 'affairs happen' line.....that sounds to me like an excuse that you would rail against in other aspects. Sounds like an entitlement to me....'sure, I did it, but lots of other people do it, so it's not that bad.'

brum, I was really using that phrase to point out that they guy is even dumber for getting caught than dishonest to begin with. I didn't offer sympathy whatsoever for him, but as you recall, I didn't rail on John Edwards either, other than to point out how his chances of being President are finished.

To be honest with you, I really don't know how these affairs make me feel about the politician. Affairs are terrible and I am certain I will never succomb to that temptation, but several of my friends have, even more people that i know..work with ...etc have, so I also realize that it happens. Politicians are treated like rock stars on many occasions, so they are exposed to much more temptation, and sex is the #1 weakness of the male gender IMO, so to be surprised by this would be stupid.

Affairs destroy families. This is a guy who left the country to be with his mistress while his family was at home alone on Father's Day.

I don't care about him as a politician....fuck him as a person.

We aren't talking about a boyfriend cheating on a girlfriend...we are talking about a married man with multiple children who in public light had an affair.

It has nothing to do with surprise and everything to do with committment. I'm sorry, but when you are married you're kids are infinitely more important than your dick.

I 100% agree with you, but it appears to me that a big portion of the population doesn't have that same committment to their family. I just had a similar conversation with my cousin last night who's husband of 9 years cheated on her, and last week a good friend of mine told me he has had an affair but his wife doesn't know yet. Both of them have kids, and although I can't understand the mentality, I have to acknowledge that it does exist all around us. I'm glad that the governor's unfaithful actions ruined his career, but I don't think his situation will make anyone think twice about cheating...although a few politicians might just be a little more careful.

That just blows me away to think about. It's one thing to be caught up in the moment. It's not right, but I can see how it can happen. I've been away on business trips and had hot girls hitting on me. I personally have never cheated on a girlfriend and definitely wouldn't now that I'm married, but I can understand how it could happen. You have a few drinks and unexpectedly some beautiful blond wanders up to you. Doesn't make it right, but I can at least understand how it could happen.

But to PLAN to cheat on someone... buy plane tickets... ride on a plan for several hours sober thinking about what you're about to do... about your kids at home on Father's day without their Dad... that's just fucked up.

he has been with this Argentina chick for quite some time, because he said his wife has known about it for 5 months...I find it odd that his wife knows about it, but he is still doing it.
