I know there are more important issues to deal with, but I’m of two minds on Mark Sanford.
For the most part, I’m infuriated because I was a huge fan of his. Most of us were. He was one of my standard blog posts (along with Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan) where whenever he said or wrote anything aboot anything, I made it a point to blog aboot it, usually concluding with Romney/Sanford ’12. He was the real deal, a fiscal conservative (with a touch of libertarianism) who actually expected other fiscal conservatives to behave like fiscal conservatives (go figure). He was also uniquely qualified to speak out against Dear Leaders reckless spending, since he had no ties to the Bush Administration’s reckless spending.
We were all counting on him, which is why the instant and justifiable reaction was that, “You’re under the bus now. Thanks a lot asshole.” But a part of me actually feels a little sorry for him…

I really found this amusing today. Apparently, the director of the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) plotzed when he saw the price of Obama’s plans for healthcare. Keep in mind this is the same CBO that a) is non-partisan, and b) Libs and Dems swore by when it came to criticizing President Bush’s deficits…which were a quarter of the size of President Obama’s projected deficits. So 
Anytime anyone is an effective voice for the Republican position on anything, the media always says they’re the wrong messenger right now, whether it is Rush Limbaugh, Newt Gingrich, or Dick Cheney.

And while he doesn’t have as big as a megaphone with his weekly column in the Wall Street Journal, I’m sure Karl Rove (or K-Ro, as he’s known on the streets), is near the top of the list as well.
While my endorsement for him as 
My original interest in Mitt Romney stemmed from his healthcare plan from when he was the Governor of Massachusetts. Generally people say they prefer Dems for healthcare even though most people reject their idea for the public socialization of a government option, so the fact that a Republican governor was able to make sure 98% of the people were insured, using free market principles while still satisfying people on the left (Ted Kennedy stood next to him when the bill was signed into law), I was very curious to hear more. This was the type of candidate we need.
It’s always good to start off your morning with a nice chunk of red meat. This article isn’t raw to where the cow is still twitching (yes, I stole that from AllahP), but it still covers all the bases. You have the crap sandwich known as Obama stimulus, you have the state run media formerly known as the mainstream media, and it was written by Newt Gingrich. What more can you ask for on a Sunday morning?
