Oh please. You can take one look at Sanford and tell he screams gay. I mean come on. I live in washington d.c. and have a political family and all i can say is. pull the wool off of your eyes for once and see the real picture here. look at the governor of new jersey and think real hard about it. men who are in the political eye at that age are already married at that age. he is blind sidiing you with his looks and charm.

Why is it always Republicans that have the weird sexual histories and not Democrats?

And to those who are using anti-gay epithets – you keep reinforcing the fact that conservatives are universally backward traditionalist non-fact-based troglodytes. Keep it up, kids! Thanks for giving us 2012!

[...] days ago rumors once again surfaced that SC’s Lt. Governor Andre Bauer is gay. The Palmetto Scoop now has proof that Sanford was behind the rumors. Baur had recently gone on record demanding [...]

Why doesn’t he just proudly come out? If McGreevey had done that in New Jersey (and not married a woman), he’d still be governor, and he’d have a good shot at re-election.

And just fyi, the ISSUE is NOT that gays are good or bad, it is that someone is lying about someone else who isn’t in the hope it will brand him as a liar and hypocrite to destroy his political career or undermine his attempts at getting Sanford removed, who should have taken that hike a long time ago.

It is true someone is doing this and that’s no secret, but Knotts had better have some proof it was people connected to Sanford in some way or he is breaking the law, too.

There should be an immediate investigation. Knotts didn’t bring this to the public eye, it was all over youtube and other websites that showed the video of Bauer or had articles about him calling for Sanford’s resignation. And those of us who weren’t born yesterday ran into these groups doing it to other candidates during elections, too. They are scripted, work in tandem, and tend to favor formats like youtube, Huffington Post, blogs, townhall.com or article response areas like this…. for instance, there are people here attacking Knotts without commenting *on the topic* in any reasonable manner or they switch topics to get people off the track, this is their MO. They could either be behind a candidate opposing another like Sanford, someone planning to run in the next election against Bauer from either party or they work for special interest groups opposed to the candidates’ agenda. It could possibly be gays, I’ve seen them do this before to candidates opposed to gay marriage, even if they were for civil unions (like Romney.) I’m not making accusations directed at anyone until we see some evidence. These people are destroying our Democratic process and their right to libel is not covered in free speech, neither is racketeering, it is against the law on the internet or off. NAIL THEM, CHARGE THEM AND MAKE AN EXAMPLE OUT OF THEM. Bauer should also file a civil suit for financial damages. This is affecting every citizen, not just people in SC. Party’s over, suckers.

I hate to break it to Senator Porky, but the rumors about Bauer have been going around for a very long time. They didn’t start with Sanford’s situation. And while he lied to his wife and had an affair, exactly why is that the business of the Taliban members in the General Assembly? What a moralistic lynch mob. Shame on them. Shame on Sanford for what he did to his wife, but that is between her and him and nobody else’s business, especially Senator Porky. Remember gluttony is a sin just like adultery. Adultery hurts the spouse, but when a Senator turns into a piglet that increases health care costs for the state. I’d rather have an adultery in office than a moralistic porky.

I hate to break it to you people but methane has nothing to do with the smell of flatulence. It is hydrogen sulfide.
