One of the things that RC values above all else (at least in the realm of discourse) is intellectual honesty and consistency. Since the RC values that in others and wishes he saw more of it, he feels compelled to strive to demonstrate those same ideals.
So, in that spirit, and not because he thinks it will make any difference at all, the RC is compelled to say: "Governor Sanford, resign!"
Sir, you have disgraced your office and embarrassed your family. You are now a media freak-show and are a huge distraction from the enormous and dangerous changes the President and a Democratic congress are trying to push through. You allow the Left to say, "See, all those religious conservatives are just hypocrites."
On a human level I feel truly sorry for you. I don't judge or condemn you. But please, for the good of your state, the Republican party, and most of all, your family, please, please leave. Now.
Beyond the fact that you broke your most serious vows, the fact that you were AWOL and incommunicado for several days is irresponsible and leaves serious questions about your judgment.
