Mark Sanford And The "Empty Chair" Meme

Former South Carolina Governor, and famed Appalachian Trail hiker, Mark Sanford is running for Congress!  But that, of course, is not what brings him to the blog.  He is following the GOP meme of trying to debate fictional Democrats, whether it is Clint Eastwood at the Republican National Convention talking to an empty chair or now Mark Sanford trying to debate a cardboard cutout of House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi.

Governor, she's never going to answer your questions so stop pausing for "her" to answer.  She's cardboard.  It really does demonstrate that many Republicans simply do not understand what the Democrats are saying.  They argue and rail against a boogeyman that doesn't exist.  The empty chair is a great example of this.  If they would listen and actually participate in a dialogue, maybe something would finally get done.

In case you forgot:
