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.

And the anti groupie? Nobodies whining.... evidently it's your ESL problem is acting up again.
Making the world safe for United Fruit.
You whine about Da Joooosssss every day, kookie.
For approximately 72K, BP Oil bought Owe-bama. And as President, he let them Spill, Baby, Spill! Its documented.
And in one deft fell swoop he refocuses the thread on himself.

If "Da Joooooooooos" means Israelis in your world, so be it.

Bullshit.
Gee, aba daba boyu, all I know is you follow my around the net, copy my posts into your tagline, and post to me without reason .... badeye
And the anti groupie? As he's displayed for a decade, he can't get through a day without me. (laughing) Well...even tho you have me on bozo (eyes rolling)...you know this...

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.

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?
Hagatha, war, the Obama knob gobbler, thinks you're a fookin black kettle! How close are you to the description? Sneakypete, have you ever been married? Said things you later regretted?
But, you're a liar. You lie and distort things so your life appears to be other than it is. To people on the internet. Arff!

What should have bothered you about that whole business (and it obviously doesn't)was that Clinton's choice of tactics was to find a way to trash and discredit Lewinsky instead of simply owning up to what he did. He probably would have gotten away with it, too, if not for the blue dress and you would have been on here to this day claiming it never happened and was all just a smear job and that Lewinsky was just a GOP plant.
Chuckles...no more so than you writing that piece of fiction... My interest in Lewinsky was nil until the GOP used it in an attempted coup. Then I vowed to work against the National GOP at every turn.

He didn't do that to just Lewinsky, there were at least five others. The good news from that sordid affair is nobody takes the Nationial Organization of Women seriously now.

It was Clinton as the Road Runner to the GOP's Wile E. Coyote.
He beat them good...

I wonder if it had been your 'Lucy' if you would feel the same way. Kinda doubt it, giving YOU the benefit of doubt here.

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