He survived a bitter primary two weeks ago, but now the Indiana Republican reportedly plans to resign amid allegations of an affair. According to Fox News, Rep. Mark Souder will announce his resignation today after it was revealed he had an affair with a female who worked on his district office staff. The extent of the affair would likely have landed him in front of the House Ethics Committee. "I wish I could have been a better example," Souder reportedly will say, according to a statement obtained by Fox News. "In this poisonous environment of Washington, D.C., any personal failing is seized upon, often twisted, for political gain. I am resigning rather than to put my family through that painful, drawn-out process." The eight-term Congressman reportedly believes he "sinned against God, my wife and my family by having a mutual relationship with a part-time member of my staff." Souder has been absent from Washington, D.C. most of last week, Fox News reported, missing several votes. He has denied having an affair in the past. He has been a vocal supporter of "traditional family values," and first took office in 1994. "I believe that Congress must fight to uphold the traditional values that undergird the strength of our nation," he says on his Web site. "I am committed to preserving traditional marriage, the union of one man and one woman." Indiana's Gov. Mitch Daniels, a Republican, will be required to select a replacement for Souder, which will likely spark a fierce political battle among Democrats and the GOP. New York's Rep. Eric Massa similarly resigned his House seat earlier this year after accusations he sexually harassed a male staffer.

Why would it matter if it's "mutual"? We learned from the Great Clinton Cock Hunt that "sex" with a subordinate is coercive.

2010. The year idiots were weeded out of politics.
For approximately 72K, BP Oil bought Owe-bama. And as President, he let them Spill, Baby, Spill! Its documented.
Another Pubbie hypocrite bites the dust.
Right so, Fred. If he was a Democrat, and the intern male, he'd be named to the Chair of a committee....(laughing)

His personal squeeze is pretty cute. I imagine the devil sent her to him to tempt him, and the devil won.
If only "ifs" and "ands" were money, you wouldn't be losing your business.
That shaved off half of his moustache...

2010. The year (the 1994 elected)idiots were finally weeded out of politics. There... that's better.

Write your own posts. I don't need revisions of my words from you. The reason is simple. Those I'm speaking of overall were NOT elected in 94, you idiot.

Nobody whined, boofer. No one noticed except that stupid hag Murron. She was scolding us that when we laughed at you for always over-trumpeting your military 'service' we made you feel bad and you left the site. Then everyone laughed and insulted you some more. I was sorry you came back.

Well, given that GOP Congressmen usual resign because they've had affairs with male staffers, I see this as a big improvement.
So far, it's looking pretty darn good. David Obey announced he is leaving. Tonight, Rand Paul will pummel the establishment candidate in Kentucky. Maybe we'll see Arlen Specter bite the dust. If he doesn't tonight, he will in November.
Boofer leaving unexpectedly was like having a chronic pain suddenly disappear. You're glad it's gone, but you live in dread that it will come back.
I never left asshole. Some of us have a life that doesn't include the internet. And I'm very happy my being here upsets you. have a shitty day!

Sweet Jesus, Badeye, you're outdoing yourself today!
Pretty much how I see it. Plus, CT is now in play come November due to Blumenthal's lying about his military service for years, in many venues, many on tape. Personally, I'm 100% fine with cleaning house, on both sides of the aisle. I'm fed up with professional politicians that take earmarks, turn a deaf ear to 'We the People' and are to frightened by this Administration to point out its been a 16 month spectacular failure in any area you care to bring up.

I was just showing you that your original post was bullshit. We're done.

lol I knew something was better but I didn't know what it was until it came back.

What Boofer originally said was: #15. To: Skip Intro (#14) Yes, thats 100% accurate. I did make time to post a couple of comments over at FR, and quite a few at GBR. This place is for amusement, I don't take it too seriously most of the time. As for 'gone home', its the internet, skippy. 'Home' is in the real world. I can see NOVEMBER from my House....

Just another in your loooooooong list of lies, Boofer.
I changed my tagline.
reaganisright to murron: I'm sorry to see you go, you and liberator are about the only two girls I could tolerate.
Christ, your not a poster, you're a fuckin puppy....(laughing)

Here you go again, showing you are more than just posting for your own amusement on a forum chat site.

But not grounds for dismissal or forced resignation. At least not for honorless liberal lying assholes like Clinton and Edwards! Sneakypete, have you ever been married? Said things you later regretted?
