Rep. Mark Souder (R-Ind.), a former congressional staffer who was elected to the House in the Republican revolution of 1994...

If he was elected as part of the "Revolution of 1994," then he should have voluntarily left office, pursuant to the Contract with America, when his sixth term expired at the end of 2005.

the funniest part is that there are so many closeted gays in the GOP that you have to make the distinction in the headline that it was a female staffer instead of a teenage boy.

true.

but i’m tired of the gradual slide into socialism by the gop.

“i’m tired of the gradual slide into socialism by the gop.”

Me too. In this case, I hear that his probable replacement is more conservative, so, yay.

Of course, that article didn’t mention that Blumenthal was the Democratic candidate until the 3rd paragraph.

True, but credit where credit is true-- the New York Times broke that story, they didn't just run with something others had disclosed first.
