Eight-term Rep. Mark Souder will announce his resignation Tuesday after it came to light that he was conducting an affair with a female staffer who worked in his district office, Fox News has learned.
Multiple senior House sources indicated that the extent of the affair would have landed Souder before the House Ethics Committee.
Elected as a family values conservative as part of the Republican revolution in 1994, Souder survived a tough re-election challenge in 2008 and survived a contested primary two weeks ago.

If this guy is resigning because of a scandal, why is Charlie Rangel, who is vastly more corrupt, with far bigger scandals, still sitting in the congress? Of course you now the answer, so why ask it?

Ignorance and political correctness are in. Now one has to specify "female" just to make sure that a male had an affair with a female! LOL!

What weaklings these hypocrites are! Their brains must be located in the wrong place. Their bimbos won’t find them nearly as charming when they lose their power, reputations, and money in their divorce settlements.

He didn’t wait; the dems did. He won and was a threat, so they took him out with a scandal that would have left a dem untouched, exposed or not.
I don’t care if RINOs get ousted, but real conservatives must be like Caesar’s wife, which fits right in with real conservative values and behavior.

Wait for it to be exposed before showing any shame, that's how we know he's a politician.

WTF! Wait until the primary is over to announce your resignation? Way to go idiot. It’s one thing to get caught up in temptation (but we’ll need to see her photo to determine just how dumb this guy is); however, screwing over your constituency, party, and country because you want to keep power is just awful. Hell has a special place for guys like this.

We really need to see the picture of the other person involved to determine just how guilty he is.
