Indiana Rep. Souder resigns over affair

Love the photo! Are you sure it was a female staffer? Looks like another conservative pug went out hiking the appalacian trail.

At least this guy, Souder, fell on the sword, unlike Eric Masa (D) who molested boys and claimed it nothing more than a "tickle party".

Mr. Masa went on the Glen Beck show and clearly stated that he was abusing them. And, that he was even gay. The clips are available on youtube. The days of information distortion is over. The Internet age makes any readers able to verify information!

Souder was about to become a major embarrassment and liability to the Republicans in the Fall. This scandal would probably have killed any chance the Republicans had to hold this seat. Now at least the GOP has a chance to win the seat against a strong Democratic candidate. Remember the late Speaker of the House Tip O'Neill always said that all politics are local and in this particular case that is probably true.

Hey Paulo: Did "Diaper Dave" Vitter (R-LA) fall on his sword when held TWO news conferences and admitted to cavorting with prostitutes in both New Orleans and Washington DC?

Mark Souder: "In the poisonous environment of Washington, D.C., any personal failing is seized upon, often twisted, for political gain," he said. "I am resigning rather than to put my family through that painful, drawn-out process."

Nice try at pinning your lack of morals on the beltway environment. You, and others like you, are part of why American patriots are so sick of our government officials.

Oh, and to the right: the Godless hypercritical-hypocritical left will never cut you any slack. So keep that in mind as you head to the no-tell motel.

It's house cleaning time! Stand, be counted, and VOTE!

Fresh from the Family Values party, yet another hypocrite...

What an utter joke the DNC Swamp is.
The obscure Congressman Souder gets an article.
But not CT Dem Richard Blumenthal, who (in rosier times) the DNC Swamp promoted with several articles?
As the whole world, except for Swamp "journalists", knows, last night the NY Times revealed that US Senate candidate Blumenthal had been lying for 30 years in his claims to have been a Vietnam War vet.
Why do Swamp writers sacrifice their journalistic credibility to cover up for Democrats? Are they that partisan?

Souder could of made it worse and said that he served in Vietnam too...like A.G Richard Blumenthal(D) just did,
...or spend 2.8 months in Nam and come back with 4 medals and a lot of B.S stories like John Kerry(D) did.

Paulo

Richard Who?

- The Swamp

Souder Speaks! Has God touched you! I said my GOP Republican Theft by Deception Just Do Nothing friends. Has GOD touched you! Well he is now! I quit! I quit! JUST LIKE MITT THE QUIT IN A TIME OF WAR! The Theft by Deception Axis of Evil "shoes" are just too big! Blame it on the NOOKIE! Blame it on the KITTY! Just not the GOP! Blame it on Obama! Just not the GOP! Blame it on the "Border." Just not my GIRLFRIEND! She's so Beautiful! She's so Wonderful! She's the EVE in the EEVS! She's the REAL ID! Blame it on the NOOKIE! Just not the GOP "Culture of Corruption." It was knee deep! It was knee deep when I did the freak with her! I've sinned! I've sinned! Thou I walk through the GOP Shadow of DEATH! I feared no evil! Just my wife! Just the voters! Has GOD touched you! Well he is now! Call TED! Call Jimmy! Call Vitter! It was always about Theft! It was always about what we say go! I've sinned! I've sinned and I'm GOP! Blame it on Obama! Blame it on the White House! Too much Chicken and Change in Washington. Blame it on the KOOLAID! Just not me! Just not the GOP Culture of Corruption Axis of Evil Doers! It like a Big Gulp of "Vitter" aka Senator David juice in a park on a cool afternoon! Blame it on Obama! Just not the NOOKIE!

His affair was with a female staffer! And, unlike a current sitting Dem Congressman, whose live-in companion was arrested for running a male prostitution business, or another of his companions that screwed up Fannie Mae. At least, Souder was frank with the public! And, he did not vote for Obamacare!!!

Mr. RodneyKing, Massa NEVER said he was gay and NEVER said he was abusing them. He did say the tickling was all in "fun." If those clips are on YouTube as you claim, then please provide the links!

Souder admitted his mistake and has resigned over it. And, gibster, anyone can make mistakes and sin. Every single person sins on a daily basis. The difference is that some people admit their sins and look for salvation and forgiveness, while others say, "so, what?" "big deal." People who believe in family values can still make mistakes. I don't think I've ever one said they cannot or don't.

And, by the way, where o where is the Swamp item about Richard Blumenthal and his lie about serving in Vietnam? He had been touted as the savior of the Demoncrat party in Connecticut. Well, perhaps not.

Another "Family Values" Republican bites the dust!

At least this Souder guy had the good sense to admit that he's a hypocrite and resign. That's more than we can say for the other "Family Values" Republican hypocrites (John Ensign, David Vitter, Mark Sanford).

Bruce,
Hmm, seated U.S House Rep. vs. Senate candidate?
Seated Rep deserves the ink first.

Nice try Bruce:

To all of you asking about the Blumenthal issue -- the story was on the front "page" of the Trib online yesterday. No, no blog posting about it. But a full-on story.

America -- the left won't cut the right any slack? Sure -- like the billions of dollars that were spent to impeach President Clinton for lying about having an extra-marital affair. Whole lot of slack cutting there.

johnny dillweed,

I like how you paint the aethiest and agnostics with a broad brush. Most of them don't sin (remember sinning is in the eye of the believer), and secondly, most of them don't do anything that is immoral. What I have seen in my life is the opposite of what you stated: It is the kristians that think they get let off the hook when they take their communion, (etc.) and think that they are "forgiven" and that they have a fresh new slate to dirty up. It is the aethiest who's slate is never wiped clean and is always vigilant about it.

No, Hillary "impeached" him for the affair. We didn't spend billions. Did you "misspeak'?

Read this slowly: Clinton lied to a Grand Jury in the Paula Jones sexual harassment case.

Remember the quivering lip and the finger point? Great stuff.

Paulo, I don't think you have studied WW II history.

There are plenty of highly decorated airmen whose combat careers were over in a matter of months.

They would fly a mission every other day, weather permitting.

Ploesti, Regensburg, Anzio, Toulon.....

They were told their tour was officially over after 50 missions.

But very few made it.

KIA, MIA or POW.

All in a few months' time.

What medals were you awarded, Paulo?

This guy reminds me of that Rev. Rekker who hired some male escort to go on vacation with him.

Or, more on point, Henry Hyde, the self annointed pillar of rectitude who went after Clinton and then was outed for hsi own extra marital affair he had in his 40's ("youthful indescretion" he called it...youthful if you're Methuselah).

Gibster,

Why is it a Republican that is caught cheating on his wife is a hypocrit, but democrats are not. Is cheating on one's spouse expected of democrats?

Horrible Form,

Are you insuating he is gay because of how he looks? How does a gay guy look?

Republitard members of Congress had better watch out for the truth coming out - your filthy pederastic leanings are being advertised and exposed and make your Party of Pederasts look like the liars and babyfuckers you are !

Democrats will reign for at least the next 30 years !!

Count on it, Cletus !!

Isn't there a rule about posting obscenities here?

Can't just one single Republican man up and say "This guy is a disappointment, and I'm glad he's resigning." Why do the sleazy cons have to deflect and obfusgate, and avoid, and project? What a buch of sackless wusses.

JMJ

T, I think the problem with Souder was his aggressive holier-than-thou preaching down to fellow human beings,

lecturing them about Abstinence and all that.

He's gotta know the Goddess Karma is gonna come after him with a special vengeance.

I mean, if you're gonna sin big time, keep it on the QT and don't set yourself up as some saint on a purple pulpit.

Henry Hyde was another one.

All the time wasted by the Congress on Bill Clinton's character flaws (as if those weren't known or suspected already).

Gotta wonder what all that time might have been spent on other than Monica's dry cleaning bills.....

I liked your blog it's quite resourceful and easy to understand keep the good work on

Clownhandle: nice post. You should be forced to wash out your mouth with the SWAMP.

Also, are you not referring to your hero, Bawdy Fwank, defender of immorality, man-boy love, and poster boy of the mortgage meltdown?

James & Staff: good job monitoring posts. The angry left is now free to use the full extent of their public school vocabulary.

I never liked this guy and not just because I'm a Democrat. He's a weasel and I'm glad to see his true nature revealed. Once again the "upright Conservatives" have proven their hypocrisy.

At least Democrats admit their human frailties. Oh how the mighty fall!

since i have been laid off i have been watching the political circus more closely, now i understand why other countries hate us. you have god fearing christians screwing whores and feeling not guilty until it might leak out, child molesters who claim to be gay will be forgivin by god cause "i asked him for forgivness." BULL . and we pay these people? when was the last time any one of these so called god fearin christians come ask any of you what you think and were should the country be heading. clean house bring forth the athiests.

Uhmmmm.....are you seeing a therapist? Because if you are not, you might want to consider it. You sound very unstable. Kindof scary!!

I wonder if this holier than thou republican queer hypocrite had any other extramarital affairs with any other staffers...male or female.

It is unfortunate, that there are so many hypocrites that have been elected to office and I am not talking about political stances, so much, as the morals question. We, as voters, have not been doing our jobs, nor using our minds. The latest example, a representative from the good state of Indiana, was a champion of high morals standards and yet, he couldn't live up to those standards. I don't find any pleasure upon hearing of someone's downfall, for whatever reasons. As that great saying goes: There goes me, but for the grace of God.
SUPPORT OUR TROOPS, BRING THEM HOME, ALIVE AND WHOLE. NOW.

Why is it a Republican that is caught cheating on his wife is a hypocrit, but democrats are not. Is cheating on one's spouse expected of democrats?

---------------------------

Because Republicans run on "family values" in their campaign. If not, then don't run the ads claiming "family values." The Democrats in large part don't run on family values- although a few do. But that is not their platform or message. I think that's a Republican thing: "family values" and cheat on your wives. When almost every congressman is doing it!

Free to watch - yes, my "billions" was a typo. I meant "millions." As in $70 million. I appreciate your pointing out my error.

Yes, Clinton lied to a grand jury -- the lie was about whether or not he had an extra-marital affair with Monica Lewinsky. I did not misspeak, nor do I need you to speak slowly. Perhaps you read my post too quickly for your own comprehension.

I've been interested in the idea of hosting a very niche job board on my blog. Are there any programs out there that share a fraction of job post revenue with bloggers? I am a very faithful audience, best wishes!
