In more "glad I was sitting down for that shocking item" news, another politician has been caught having an affair with a staff member and is resigning.

How stupid do you have to be to think noone will find out? :idontno:

An 8 term Republican Congressman probably just handed his seat to a Democrat.

Keeping my fingers crossed that it was just him being dumb and cheating on a 35+ year marriage - no airport stalls, minors, hookers etc. involved. :roll:

Rep. Souder says he'll resign over affair - Capitol Hill- msnbc.com

I agree with you on the preference of balance of power.

However, I believe that it will be the democrats will lose more seats, but probably not enough to lose the control of the Senate and/or the House.

The AR race for example will probably go to the GOP (Boozeman) regardless of the outcome of the Dems run-off. That will be an example of an incubant loss that I would agree is actually a statement against the incumbants. Again, I didn't see that last pm.

Would you consider it balanced if the reps took a majority in one of these? I consider that balanced because it keeps the checks and balances in place. This can easily be successful in November and I believe it will happen. I even believe we will all be wide eyed with surprise.

I think one of his biggest problems was that he was a very vocal proponent of abstinence and recorded a video where he was interviewed by the alleged staff member he had an affair with.

Back to the original thread:

Remember this fence has paint on both sides. The mistress was just as guilty and was/is working her way up the political food chain. He obviously was in her mind, a possible shortcut perhaps?

He's sleeping in the bed he made. She needs the same treatment. If she was kicking and screaming all the way to the bedroom, it's probably because that's how she likes it.

FTLOG, if you can't be a leading example, please don't try to lead. What this country really needs is some real leaders we can all get behind. :pissed:

I must have missed the post where someone thought the mistress was not in the wrong. :idontno:

He stepped down to avoid charges being brought against him by the House Ethics Committee.

Andrew - this is not the guy who said he served in Vietnam. That guy was named Blumenthal.
Since when did the House Ethics Committee bring charges against anybody, even a Republican. They talk a lot, hold committee meetings, threaten, and then as a rule, usually do nothing. They are a joke. If they weren't many Congressmen, both Democrat and Republican, would be out on their ear.
