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.

More like Deputy Perkins. Nice bike, Deputy Boofer!

Actually, I laughed at the observation. Wrong again kookie.
For approximately 72K, BP Oil bought Owe-bama. And as President, he let them Spill, Baby, Spill! Its documented.

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.

Who was the only elected President and rapist ever impeached?
Nah - lucy's mom would be PROUD to sacrifice Lucy to her idol. Happens in all pagan cultures.
If I could, I would. I prefer to think thats not the case, and that Lucysmom is just a hypocrite when its somebody else's daughter...and will do so til she shows otherwise.

It was a stupid question, Boofer. Lewinsky went in eyes wide open. No person wants that to be his or her daughter any more than a parent would want any of the soldiers killed in Iraq or Afghanistan to be their child or husband or father.

I hope my Lucy is smart enough to not flash her thong for a married man.
He certainly wasn't the first man to lie about sex outside of marriage - not even the first politician. He hasn't been the last either.
I bet you were first in line to read all the details.
No, no parent wants that. Nor would any parent want their child used in a political game of "now I've got you, you SOB".
I wonder if it had been your 'Lucy' if you would feel the same way. I hope my Lucy is smart enough to not flash her thong for a married man. Thats not what I asked. I asked if you would feel the same way you indicated above. You state the obvious here. Now, if you could, answer my question.

You'd lose that bet.

Chuckles...no she wouldn't Boof. You forget some of us know you from the lucianne days...but what's a day without a juicy lie from you?

He's also not the first man to commit forcible rape and sexual assault either. Great guy.
What number were you?

This is an internet forum, not a court - I'll answer as I see fit. Monica wasn't innocent, Clinton certainly wasn't innocent, but the person I would have the most disdain for is that woman who pretended to be Monica's friend and secretly taped phone conversations, encouraged Monica to save the blue dress, and was paid off in plastic surgery. I pray my daughter be protected from "friends" like that.
That answers my other question: How hypocritical are you? Apparently, quite a bit....(laughing) Run along, goofysmom.

Liberal assholes nearly always excuse other liberal assholes criminal behavior, adultery and other sexual transgressions.
Sneakypete, have you ever been married? Said things you later regretted?
Apparently, quite a bit....(laughing) Run along, goofysmom. You're either a gluton for punishment, or you have a twisted sense of humor, like a cat, playing with a mouse before the kill ...aha
hey man, long time no debate!!
This is the way of that mad individual who calls him self badeye. He no debates any of the topics. He tries to make the internet people his friend and tell them his life is magnificent above all others. He is a little man with big suspenders. Oh the desert wind blows but what has it accomplished except to pile a bit more sand here and there. But we already had sand here and there and didn't need any more. So it is with the things the badeye man types with his sausage fingers.
reaganisright to murron: I'm sorry to see you go, you and liberator are about the only two girls I could tolerate.
I hope your daughter is safe from predators like Bill Clinton.

me, Badeye and war go way back. And after years it seems the online debate remains the same.
If you've been around for a long time, what other name did you post under, or did you just rearange the letters in your user name....if I may ask?
oh, I meant I used to 'debate' with Badeye and war in other forums. I think we both started at Lucianne.com and then moved to several others. But that was years ago. I came across this looking for something else and decide to register under my old screen name.
Welcome to LF, AlBundy! &;-)
I remember you too! Welcome aboard.
Now if we can only get indie and the big gray tabby back here regularly. BTW, you registering has made Badeye [Boofer] shit his pants. He can't lie about what happened at Pipebomb anymore...according to him, I was the only one banned.

I admit I enjoy demonstrating the pretzel logic some here employ daily.

We learned from the Great Clinton Cock Hunt that "sex" with a subordinate is coercive.
