Was Haggard running for anything? Influence voters on what? I am pretty much a politics junky but I had never heard of Haggard before today.

No. No he wasn't...or...isn't.

I'm supposing that Michael Jones thought to influence what are called "evangelical Christians" whatever they are.
Apparently, as a group, they are considered lemmings by those such as Michael Jones. Still, it makes no sense.

I believe that he timed it to get maximum media play since the MSM would pay more attention to the outing of someone like Haggard right before an election.

re: Jones thought to influence what are called "evangelical Christians"

I think it just goes to show how little the other side understands us. My heart and prayers go out to anyone who must contend with their own personal demons. I know of very few people who have not had personal problems and my take on this man's problems is "There, but for the grace of God, go I." As Jesus said, "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone."

The vast majority of Christians I know and have dealings with would hardly change their votes based on a story like this. They would probably just get together and say a prayer for the man and for those who are close to him.

I guess it makes us even though, I certainly don't understand their approach to life.
