Indiana Rep. Souder says he'll resign over affair

INDIANAPOLIS – Indiana Republican Rep. Mark Souder says he'll resign from Congress effective Friday over an affair with a staffer.

Souder says in a statement provided by his office Tuesday that he has "sinned against God, my wife and my family by having a mutual relationship with a part-time member of my staff."

He scheduled a news conference to discuss his future.

Souder won a bruising Republican primary on May 4 to be nominated for his ninth term representing northeastern Indiana.

THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further information. AP's earlier story is below.

WASHINGTON (AP) — A House GOP source says eight-term Indiana Republican Mark Souder is going to announce that he is resigning from office.

The source, who spoke on condition of anonymity ahead of the expected announcement, says Souder is expected to announce his resignation in Fort Wayne, the center of the district he has represented since being elected in 1994 when Republicans took over the House after 40 years of Democratic control.

Souder is a social conservative and strong advocate of gun rights whose district has been strongly contested by Democrats in the past.

Hence the quitting thing. Had he not been he likely would have told everybody to mind their own business and kept on with it all.

Huh?

A guy preaches about the sanctity of marriage for multiple campaigns, but is somehow able to save face because he has the honor to quit after he gets caught in an affair?

What are you saying here?
 
This guy actually created this video about abstinence education wherein he was interviewed by the staffer he was having an affair with.

D'oh!
 
another politician and another affair...i just reset my clock :)

i guess its not as bad as promising not to vote for a FISA and then voting for it...politicians are full of "do as i say, not as i do"
