Why do the most guilty people try the most to blame others?
I was just reading the statement from the SC governor's mistress, and she's acting like the injured party: saying the guy who found and leaked the information about the affair did an "evil act" and saying that his actions "destroyed the lives of so many others" and she "leaves it up to God" (to reveal/punish him). Yes, stealing someone's correspondence is illegal and wrong; but *he* didn't "destroy lives", the affair she consented to did. Evidently she felt it was just fine as long as nobody knew, and blames the hacker entirely.

Guilty people try to blame others because they know they did wrong, but hope somehow to convince themselves or others that the true blame for their actions lies elsewhere.

It is their success strategy. It is the best way for someone who is incompetent or dishonest to be able to get through life despite their failures.
You know how I spot a loser? If a person blames others for ANYTHING, it reveals a serious character flaw in my book. It allows people to avoid personal responsibility. Even if they do not dodge responsibility NOW, they know strategies for doing so. I do not employ those people. I do not want to know those people. I would never choose to work with people like that in any way.
I do not understand why some guy's wife is NECESSARILY responsible for a guy's cheating. Glad I do not have to figure out guilt there. Sanford... whatever.

She is simply twisting facts to place the blame on others instead of taking responsibility for her actions. The "BAND-AID should be placed squarely on the "SORE", which is in the middle of her forehead.....

It's a concept as old as the hills. even Shakespeare commented: "Me thinkest he doth protest too muche."

they're not willing to admit that what they did was wrong. can't stand people like that. I guess she thinks God approves of what she did.
