Virginia Congressman Resigns Abruptly Rep. Edward Schrock (R-VA) "abruptly announced Monday that he will not seek a third term in Congress, citing unspecified allegations 'that have called into question my ability' to serve," the AP reports. Schrock's statement "said he would not comment further on his decision, nor did he comment specifically on the allegations he is facing." Rep. Ed Schrock is a two-term Republican congressman from Virginia's Second District. The National Journal ties him as the second most conservative person in all of Congress in 2003, behind only Dennis Hastert. This isn't necessarily a turn-off in his district, which includes Virginia Beach, home of Pat Robertson, as well as Hampton Roads, home of 300,000 active-duty military and veterans. A strong family man with a wife and kids, Schrock was a co-sponsor of the Federal Marriage Amendment and opposes any possible rights for gay people, including non-discrimination in employment. The problem is, his constituents may soon discriminate against his employment, as Schrock also seeks out gay sex on telephone dating services, and gay activists are about to release the tapes. dailykos.com
