Marriage is between a man, a woman – and a mistress

Rep. Mark Souder – a Republican – is resigning because he had an affair with a female staffer.
So perhaps it’s not a surprise that he’s also a proponent of marriage being only between a man and a woman. He voted to Constitutionally ban gay marriage because, he says, it’s an assault on American values.
From Souder’s website:
“I believe that Congress must fight to uphold the traditional values that undergird the strength of our nation. The family plays a fundamental role in our society. Studies consistently demonstrate that it is best for a child to have a mother and father, and I am committed to preserving traditional marriage, the union of one man and one woman.”
So…mistresses are OK. But two gay people in a committed relationship? That’s anti-American.
So far, he hasn’t blamed gay marriage in DC for weakening his own marriage – but that’s gotta be the next step.
