Some say Rev. Haggard is not a political figure, I disagree

[Philosoraptor]

He is in this bush administration's dirty biz up to his pious ass, you can bet he's tight with dubya, of this there is no doubt, the whole church and state concept just vanished when dubya and rev. ted got hooked up.

Some suggest that pat robertson and jerry falwell et al are not political, but religious figures, of course they are both, and ted haggard is no different, they all kiss bush's ass, and vice versa.

Rev. ted is all about politics, the politics of fleecing the flocks, and the Republican politics of hypocrisy and greed.

1. Anyone who is that *ahem* tight with the President is certainly political. n/t

3. yep, you said it...

2. He and his sheeple are the only reason Bush is prez...

pretty hard to say that he's not political...

Not to mention that his main message is "free-market theology"

4. I totally agree with you on this.....

This Haggard issue is about hypocrisy and not about making derogatory remarks about gays, as others have suggested on other threads.

5. its all political

7. dubya sure has some strange acquaintances

foley, gannon, haggard, to name a few. bush and haggard have been referred to as 'friends', and not merely acquaintances.
