Before he got caught using state
tax-payer dollars to sneak out to Argentina to cheat on his wife, South
Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford (R) waged a high-profile war against the federal
economic stimulus package last spring, claiming that accepting the $700 million
for which his state was eligible would lead to “a thing called slavery.”
Even as his state’s unemployment rate
climbed above the national average, Sanford maintained his refusal to take the
funds.
But this week, Sanford flew to
Washington to demand $300 million in stimulus money for education.
Sanford’s trip, which did not
appear on his official calendar, is especially hypocritical because the
majority of stimulus money destined for South Carolina was to fund education
and save thousands of teachers’ jobs. Yet, in March, Sanford told Fox News host
Glenn Beck that taking the money would be akin to “fiscal child abuse.”
I guess he is your typical family values republican who cheats on his wife, using tax dollars to do it, who shamelessly demands federal stimulus money after labeling it slave trade chattel to the wing nuts of his party earlier this year. Just like all the other republicans who voted against the Stimulus package but who then showed up for all the photo-ops when the money arrived in their districts. Why don't average Americans see through all their lies and deceptions?
