GOP Congressman Souder, Family Values Conservative, Resigns Over Affair With Female Aide

May 18, 2010

But gay couples are undermining marriage in America today?

Eight-term Indiana Rep. Mark Souder was announcing his resignation Tuesday after admitting to an affair with a female aide who worked in his district office.

Souder, a Republican, will will step down on Friday. He said in remarks obtained by Fox News that he “sinned against God, my wife and my family by having a mutual relationship with a part-time member of my staff.”

Multiple senior House sources indicated that the extent of Souder’s affair with the staffer would have landed him before the House Ethics Committee. Sources told Fox News that the aide, identified as Tracy Jackson, a woman in her mid-40s, would accompany the congressman to events and to record ads at a Christian radio broadcast station.

Incredible!  Lets us look at the voting record of Congressman Mark Souder when it comes to issues of gay rights and/or marriage.

      People need to remember that the Devil works on those who serve Christ. It’s a proven statement, and yes he at least didn’t lie about it as those in the political and professional athletes world do.

      Well, he least he “manned” up, admitted his sin and resigned his position. Can’t say that about many other politicians these days in either party.
