Will the Revolution draft Gov. Mark Sanford 2012?

gaazn · 05-24-2008, 12:49 PM

from AP story:

"A new law bars the public from finding out who can carry concealed weapons in South Carolina...

Sanford considers the permitting itself — requiring someone to get a concealed-weapon permit to carry a gun — an infringement on the Second Amendment. Carrying a gun, concealed or not, should be a personal, not governmental, decision, he wrote."

---

This is classic Sanford, signing the law to prevent concealed weapons list from being public information, while at the same time arguing that there shouldn't even be concealed weapons permits to begin with.

i hear a lot about him on these forums - but not where he stands on iraq

From the State of the Union address 2005:

"I don’t know how the situation in Iraq sorts itself out, but I do know the war spreads a gray cloud over what happens next in any economy until it is settled. Wars are expensive, both to the soldier and the taxpayer. On the taxpayer front, we’re now spending $6 billion per month in Iraq, this state’s budget for the entire year, and for the soldiers in the field, the costs are far greater. Twenty-nine South Carolinians have now been killed in the fighting overseas."

Doesn't sound like Bush or McCain...

Sanford is a great candidate. So what if he didn't endorse Ron Paul? He didn't endorse McCain either.

Here's what matters:

1) He's good on THE ISSUES

2) He can win an election.

Combine the two and you get the end result we are all looking for. Liberty and constitutional government.

Yeah well, he sure didn't stand up for Dr. Paul. He lost a lot of luster in my eyes, when he failed to do that.

No. He Refused to Endorse Ron Paul when it mattered.

If we are going to elect someone that shares our values in 2012, Mark Sanford is the most electable. I wish he would have endorsed Ron Paul, too, but looking forward, we have to work with him. He's the best current governor, and better than anyone in the Senate.

I wouldn't be too upset with Sanford on this issue.
Ron Paul and his campaign staff refused to mount a serious campaign for President when it mattered.

Like Printo and others have said... we need to find someone who really wants to win... and fully vet that candidate... and make the serious choices and plans necessary to get them elected.

I like Sanford also. A friend of mine's nephew was on an airplane and stuck up a conversation with his seatmate--turned out to be Sanford on his way back from a trip with his kids. It was a great story about an ordinary man with his kids, who just happens to be the Gov of SC. That's not my real reason for liking him, just a nice little side note.

He is personable, likeable, well-spoken, principled and tough. He would be great as POTUS.
