“...the extent of the affair would have landed Souder before the House Ethics Committee.”
Extent? What does that mean? Makes it sound like you can do it with the staff as long as you don’t do it for too long.
Or is it a veiled reference to financial impropriety?
It’s real intersting that Souder came forward at this moment in time. It seems clear that he knew the story was going to break. Now, who might have been behind finding the story and alerting the press to the situation, thus forcing Souder to step down? No doubt the rats, which means they are out there raking and sifting for any dirt on they can sniff out on every pub in office or about to run for office. Indiana is a conservative state and the voters won’t go for cheating and corruption, except the rat voters - but only when it comes to rat candidates who promise them goodies. And rat incumbents and candidates rest comfortably knowing no such fate coming from the pubs will befall them. The pubs aren’t even in the game. They will never learn how to street fight, and that’s why we will not take back congress this Fall or any time soon at all. In fact, they’re using our tax money to defeat pubs and we stand by and let them do it.
Shame on them, shame on us.
