That's probably why he was setup, he was starting to figure shit out.

Yeah, they pulled the money because of his view of government, not the scandal. Name dropping Amash as a friend also has to tick the establishment off.

I wonder if any of them videoed his speech. I'd love to watch it. :)

Same, I hope there's at least a blog post or article detailing it. Mark was definitely Ron/Rand's best endorsement so far. Some may say the Massie endorsement was better but the Sanford endorsements helped him when the national party was content to let him sink.

My dream ticket for '08 was Paul-Sanford.

This is the only write-up I could find:

Mark Sanford: America’s economic crisis as much of a threat as Nazi Germany
http://redalertpolitics.com/2013/07/09/mark-sanford-americas-economic-crisis-as-much-of-a-threat-as-nazi-germany/


Newly elected Rep. Mark Sanford (R-S.C.) is deeply worried about the country’s economic state – so much so that he fears the current economic crisis is as much of a threat to the country as Adolf Hitler and Nazi Germany were to the nation during World War II.

In fact, he views it as the first “internal” threat the country’s faced since its creation in 1787.

“With the exception of the Civil War, every threat to our country’s existence was external in nature—what were the Germans going to do to us, what were the Japanese going to do to us, what were the Russians going to do to us, what were the British going to do to us, what were the French going to do to us—it was always what somebody was doing to us,” Sanford told a crowded gathering of young Republicans at the Capitol Hill Club in Washington, D.C. Monday night. “I would argue that the real challenge of today is what are we going to do to us?”

He also argued that the country is at a cultural and financial tipping point, commenting that we are “living beyond our means.” That tipping point, however, is something that young conservatives can use to sway their more progressive friends to the right side.

“There’s in essence a moral essence to definite spending that leaves somebody else with the bill to pay,” Sanford remarked. “If you care about other people, how in the world could you leave them the bill for current government consumption?”

The former governor also pleaded with young conservatives to disregard the notion that “it couldn’t happen in America,” especially with the size of the federal government growing exponentially in recent years and ultimately infringing on our rights and liberties.

“What I’d argue is, this is a lot more than just a job that y’all have,” Sanford said. “This is a chance to be engaged in the fight for civilization’s very existence based on the tipping point right down that path.”

He seems to be explaining (at least some of) his votes on FB like Amash does. :)

Today I voted against H.R. 1171, which would have given Veterans Service Organizations the ability to obtain property from the Federal Surplus Property Program. The bill ultimately passed 387-1. While I was the lone vote in opposition, transfers such as this have been a long-standing concern of mine.

This afternoon I voted against the latest version of the Farm Bill to come before the House, and I applaud my colleagues in the House Agricultural Committee for their work to bring about this bill. Their efforts were earnest and in good faith, but I ultimately voted no because I have seen this dance toward reform come up short of watching out for the taxpayer since I first voted for the Freedom to Farm bill in the mid 90’s. This version is certainly better; for instance, to their credit, this bill was brought to the floor without the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), commonly known as food stamps. While I am pleased that SNAP is being decoupled from the agricultural portion of the bill, this legislation does not go far enough in enacting needed reforms to our expenditures on farm subsidies, and so I believe the bill is still wanting for the following reasons:
