S.C. GOP offers Sanford no support - More politics- msnbc.comMYRTLE BEACH, S.C. - Republican legislators fumed Saturday over Gov. Mark Sanford's affair and questionable travel, though they stopped short of trying to force his resignation or impeachment before they return to the Statehouse in January.
Still, the House GOP Caucus that dominates the lower chamber with 73 of the body's 124 members made two things clear they want Sanford gone and they want to act soon. However, lawmakers are waiting to make any decisions until the state ethics commission finishes its investigation. And starting impeachment proceedings now could require a costly and special session.
In all, 56 members were on hand and not one raised a word to defend Sanford, who shocked state residents by disappearing for five days in June to rendezvous with his Argentine lover. Since then, investigations by The Associated Press and a state senator have prompted state Attorney General Henry McMaster to call for an ethics investigation. The probe has been under way for about a week.
Here's MY question: Where is the SUPPOSED leader of the GOP on this? I have yet to hear him speak on this matter. Heck, I have yet to heaqr him speak on the Ensign matter, either.
