allinaugust, I find it almost humorous that you quoted me BUT not Susiecat as well. Any way, Sen. Thurmond may not have publicly acknowledged his daughter. However, if you have taken the time to research the man, he did acknowledge her privately throught out the years. Also, I think all of you seem to forget that 1925 South Carolina was VASTLY different from the SC of today. Do I agree with all of his views on things over the years? No, BUT I will give him credit for the accomplishments that he made over the years as well.

I saw one poster call him "trash" BUT given the source, I expected nothing less from them.

Getting this post back on topic, I am wondering why so many are calling for Gov. Sanford to resign his position?? Wasn't it just a few years ago that a Democrat in a much higher office did the same type of thing BUT the same people did not expect him to step down from his position? We were told back then that what was done behind closed doors was his family's business. Why is a mere Governor being held to a higher standard than a President? Oh, that's right because Gov. Sanford is a Republican.
