I like PZ Myers’ take on this story: http://scienceblogs.com/pharyngula/2010/05/unbelievable_2.php.

Next to Hostettler, Souder was the worst. Indiana is purging itself one at a time.

You know, as I read this message, from his website ( http://souder.house.gov/press_releases/1108 ), I wonder whether the Separation of Church and State could also extend into the House of Representatives and Senate? Can there be a requirement that our representatives NOT infuse every page of their website and their representation of their voters — ALL of their voters — with their individual religious and spiritual values?

Oh wait…I just woke up from my dream and hit reality. My bad.

“In the poisonous environment of Washington, D.C., any personal failing is seized upon, often twisted, for political gain,” he said.

For f*ck’s holy sake! It’s the poisonous environment, not his behavior, that drives this good man away, for his family’s sake.

God bless you, Mark Souder, as you fall on your sword.

As if he had nothing whatever to do with making that atmosphere. . . .

HOORAH!! My state is relieved of one more vile, venomous hypocrite. He is not my representative but his various positions have never won my favor. Good-bye!! And Good riddance!!

He’s GOT to be kidding! “…any personal failing is seized upon, often twisted, for political gain.”

And did HE seize on what he considered personal failings in gay people to deny them the most basic of civil rights and protections?
After all, HE’LL be able to divorce and marry again and again…regardless of how much he’s failed as a husband and father in this regard. I doubt he’ll say that he’s unworthy of marriage rights because of this situation.

Didn’t HE use and foment poisonous anti gay sentiment to further HIS political ambition?

He’s failed in his moral principle and he blames WASHINGTON, D.C. for it?!

I can’t stand it. I just can’t STAND this victim card playing hypocrite!

Would that have been his FIRST, SECOND, THIRD marriage? I just want the chance to have a few LEGAL EX-husbands under my belt before I die.

Homosexuals are the scum of the earth. If we allow them to marry it cheapens you marriage and my marriage. We can't allow that to happen! Our marriages are blessed by God and we must protect them! Allowing a homosexual to marry is just the door to bestiality and polygamy. I now resign because it is not fair that you all are using this tiny little affair I had with my staffer. How dare you question my integrity? I have never lied or held ill will towards anyone. how could you kick a victim while he is down, have you no heart? I quit. And people actually believe that one does not beget the other...
