South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford missing since Thursday! | |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 708389 Japan 06/22/2009 07:56 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Very interesting post with a state political blogger recently. Only Sic Willie says he doesn't know where the Governor has headed off to: "Attention, SC Bloggers! By fitsnews • on June 14, 2009 Do you have a blog? Are you a current resident or native of the State of South Carolina? If so, you'll want to stay tuned over the next few days for an important announcement from our founding editor, Sic Willie. Seriously, it doesn't matter whether your blog is about politics, pop culture, pets or perennials (or things that don't start with the letter `p') … you'll want to hear what Sic and friends are up to. Like Wu Tang, we're about to "strike a match to the underground …" [link to www.fitsnews.com] More, please. Just a little info can go a long way with us homefolk. Quoting: once involved in darkness 709288Mark Sanford is very close to the mystery man involved in this thread........ Thread: ANYONE WITH INFO ON VERY BIZARRE HAPPENINGS IN EARLY NOVEMBER 2003 IN DALLAS/FORT WORTH TX PLEASE HELP!! the man involved in this thread about incident in Dallas is and has been in South Carolina. This is tied to what Sanford knows and why he is THE ONLY governor willing to stand up to the power.... Read the thread on what happened in Dallas in 2003. It happened. The guy involved is in South Carolina. He has been since. He has abilities beyond the norm. All of this is tied to what is happening in SC political realms. Some are in the know and seek to keep this covered. They are failing to do so. There will be more like me coming forward. The dam is leaking badly. This may seem as though it is totally unrelated. It is not. Sanford is standing against darkness.. |

A lot of us here in the state support Governor Sanford. He has worked long and hard to keep a lid on the criminal give-a-ways the state legislature does with our tax dollars. Go Sanford Go - and Godspeed! this is what Sanford did after they said he HAD to take the stimulus money, this was last Wed and the next day he went missing: Quoting: Dread Pirate RobertsGov. Sanford sues S.C. General Assembly [link to www.thestate.com] Gov. Mark Sanford is taking the General Assembly to court after lawmakers required him to accept $350 million in disputed federal money by overriding his budget vetoes.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 709275 United Kingdom 06/22/2009 08:17 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Sanford, missing since Thursday, reportedly located By John O'Connor and Clif LeBlanc The whereabouts of Gov. Mark Sanford was unknown for nearly four days, and some state leaders question who was in charge of the executive office. But Sanford’s office told the lieutenant governor’s office Monday afternoon that Sanford has been reached and he is fine, said Frank Adams, head of Lt. Gov. Andre Bauer’s office on aging. Neither the governor’s office nor the State Law Enforcement Division, which provides security for governors, had been able to reach Sanford after he left the mansion Thursday in a black SLED Suburban SUV, said Sen. Jake Knotts and three others familiar with the situation but declined to be identified. Sanford’s last known whereabouts had been near Atlanta because a mobile telephone tower picked up a signal from his phone, authorities said. His office now knows where he is, Adams said. First lady Jenny Sanford told The Associated Press earlier Monday her husband has been gone for several days and she did not know where. She said she was not concerned. The governor’s state and personal phones had been turned off and he had not responded to phone or text messages since at least the weekend, a source familiar with the situation said. Most mobile phones cannot be tracked if they are turned off. Jenny Sanford said the governor said he needed time away from their children to write something. The governor’s office issued a statement Monday afternoon: "Gov. Sanford is taking some time away from the office this week to recharge after the stimulus battle and the legislative session, and to work on a couple of projects that have fallen by the wayside. We are not going to discuss the specifics of his travel arrangements or his security arrangements." One official familiar with the situation said there was no indication that foul play might have been involved because Sanford occasionally makes trips without his security detail. Knotts, a longtime Sanford critic, said he contacted SLED Chief Reggie Lloyd Saturday after he heard reports the governor could not be reached. "Chief Lloyd confirmed that my information is legitimate," Knotts said. "He shared my concerns" about succession of power in Sanford’s absence, the Lexington Republican said. Lloyd could not be reached immediately on Monday. "I was recently made aware that Governor Sanford has frequently been eluding SLED agents and disappearing at odd times," Knotts said. Previously, Sanford has not been out of all contact - including with his own office - for this long before, a source, who insisted on anonymity, said. Knotts said the state’s chief executive should never be unreachable. "As the head of our state, in the unfortunate event of a state of emergency or homeland security situation, Governor Sanford should be available at all times to the Chief of SLED," the senator said. "If for any reason, including the unknown whereabouts of the Governor, he is unable to perform the duties of his office the Constitution provides that the lieutenant governor assumes the position of governor. "I want to know immediately who is running the executive branch in the governor’s absence," Knotts said. The question of succession came just after Sanford became governor in 2003. He joined the Air Force Reserve and was sent to Alabama for two week’s training with his unit, the 315th Aeromedical Evacuation Squadron based in Charleston. Sanford did not transfer power to Bauer at the time, saying he would be in regular contact with his office. Sanford said then he would transfer authority in writing to the lieutenant governor only if he were called to active duty.

We have similar issues in NY, and a senate that has ceased to function. Sptizer resigned, and the Lt. Gov. Paterson was elevated to Gov. leaving a vacancy. Then there was a coup in the senate, and a turncoat, who is lying about living in his district was second in command for the throne until a judge issued a restraining order. Yes, we need to know that the lines of command are clear, even if it is meaningless. Disappearing is just wrong. He's not going to survive this. |

The Governor of the state of South Carolina bucked the stimulus, was forced under duress to take it, sued the Fed to not take it, failed to get a majority to veto it, the legislative session ended, went on Glenn Beck to say the federal Government is initiating a takeover, then took off without telling anyone, whereabouts unknown, can't be reached. that is the story.

mr...bojangles User ID: 689786 Mexico 06/22/2009 08:23 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | follow the stimulus.... Beyond one's own mind there is no dazzling light to come shining in from outside to wake one up. If one recognizes one's own intrinsic State as pure from the beginning and only temporarily obscured by impurities, and if one maintains the presence of this recognition without becoming distracted, then all the impurities dissolve. This is the essence of the Path-namkhai norbu. Why is there a legend about the descent of Christ into hell? The Teacher addressed the lower strata of the astral world, saying: �Why, by cherishing earthly thoughts, bind oneself eternally to Earth?� And many revolted in spirit and rose higher.

Yep, probably hunkering down, but for what? I wasn't necessarily implying a "man weekend" as much as a total disengagement from where he has found himself. Could be family, could be politics, could be other. Wife seems to be covering for him, not sure what that is worth. Curious what you mean regarding "abuse of power" - it seems rampant these days - and there is very little that anyone can do about it. I have my own engagement with the IG on an appointee here...waiting for them to finish their report. |
