Of course he won't be impeached, he's a member of the "Do as I say, Not as I Do" party--the party of hypocrites to the rest of us.

So, the high and might GOP will vote to impeach Bill Clinton from his chief executive position for "lying", but has "no appetite" for impeaching Sanford form his chief executive position for "lying", Oh, and by the way, Bill Clinton never abandoned his post as Commander-in-Chief. Governor Sanford should be impeached not only for lying, but also for dereliction of duty. Sanford went AWOL from his duties as chief executive of the State of South Carolina. That is an impeachable offense. I guess the family values of the GOP don't include telling the truth, fulfilling your executive obligations, honoring your wife and children anymore......... Mr. Sanford, if you had any honor you would resign. Ciizens of South Carolina, if you want good government demand Sanfords resignation or have him impeached. GOP, thank you for showing your true colors of hypocrisy.

It's too bad the unemployment rate is so high. I'd love to find a job that I could blow off for a week, have an extra-marital affair with a foreign national, then have the people paying my salary buy the story that it was all not only sanctioned, but orchestrated by God. Your a pathetic joke Governor. Next time you head south why don't you just stay there, and leave the serious work of government to the adults.

Just goes to show you that republicans talk a good game on personal responsibility and values, but that's all it is...talk.

Sanford should head to Italy - he and Silvio Berlusconi are cut from the same cloth.

Of course only a slap on the hand, since he is a republican. Where are the calls for him resigning, like it is called when the democrats get in trouble? Since he is such a good christian it is fine for him to do whatever he wants and everything will be fine. He really cares about family values! What a joke.

Sanford and Palin, are they the future of GOP? Secretly leaving the state to visit his mistress is abusing the power to me.

Every day that Sanford remains in office, the GOP in SC will lose more and more support.

South Carolina is basically leader-less. The SC electorate is sick of this entire fiasco.

It wouldn't take much for a Democratic candidate to run and win in 2010. Anybody need a job in SC? Run for governor as a Dem – your odds are extraordinarily good.

I would expect no less from a Confederate state......Take that flag down and maybe God will bless you, SC....And maybe then you'll get a real gov, who's concerned about you -- not himself and big biz............

thats because the behavior they so hypocritically oppose does not apply to the rush limbaugh party when they get caught.

Impeach him!? Why? So Andre "I Can't Drive 55" Bauer can be governor. Bauer is no Sean Parnell.

Omiley and Rep King should slam this guy as apposed to Michael Jackson: However I hope they keep talking about Mike, it should do them a lot of good with not only the Black Vote, but the Minority vote. Maybe another Republican will palute the white House in about 2060

If having an affair were impeachable, why did the liberals let Clinton off the hook? Coiuld it be two standards?

Moral To The Story: Bill Clinton should have been a South Carolina Republican instead of a Democrat from Arkansas.

Immoral To The Story: Being a Republican means that you can be a hypocrite and be proud of it.

Impeachment for extramarital affair seems silly to me.
