And we are supposed to believe him? Let me get this straight: he never know the guy before, but suddenly admits that he bought meth from him and let the gay escort massage him (did he define the massage?), but didn't take the drug and didn't have *** with the escort. Right. And Bill Clinton did not inhale nor did he "have sexual relations with that woman."

Really, the only reason Haggard hasn't admitted it all is because his escort hasn't produced all the evidence yet. One forensic sweep of the escorts bedroom should do the trick to see if Haggard was in his bed or shower or on the sofa, etc... it's that simple.

Oh, the hypocrisy of it all. Am curious to see how this will effect the house elections in CO-04 and CO-05...

That is the problem in this country. You got people like that at the head of some giant religious organization. It doesn't surprise me. Look at the Catholic church and all of the controversy that they are going through. He shouldn't of condemned people so badly about the choices that they made for themselves. Look how God works. Just because you are a man of God or think you are you should always present yourself in such a way because God is always watching!

Apparantly some of you didn't learn after Jim Bakker and Jimmy Swaggart: TELEVANGELISTS ARE CON-ARTISTS. They MANIPULATE people to extract MONEY. These liars take YOUR MONEY and go buy DRUGS and HOOKERS. Think about this: GOD DOES NOT NEED YOUR CASH! DON'T GIVE IT AWAY!

Well now at least there is another GOP fallout. They try to use Kerry's remark as the scapegoat of this coming election. Here is the GOP Hypocrocy at it's best. This guy would not openly admit anything, but only if he is outed! He's Gay as they come! He should join Foley and dance together in the poppy fields with the Wizard of Oz! Yeah, Foley only wants the young studs! Also Mike Jones was on the radio today with audio tapes of when Haggard was calling him asking for More Meth Please, and get it to me ASAP along with yourself as delivery boy! Can you imagine Bush meets with this Haggard every Monday to Pray about what we should be doing in Irag? No wonder Irags so screwed up. Read the other story about how Conservatives call Iraq Policy a Disaster!

GOP Ticket for 2008
- Rep. Mark Foley for President
& Rev. Ted Haggard for Vice President,
- Rush Limbaugh for White House Drug Czar,
- Tom Delay for Attorney General,
- Bill Bennett for Gambling Commissioner,
- Joseph Coors for Alcohol Firearms Tobacco Director.
* No Child Left Behind
* Just Say Whoa
* Don't Ask Don't Tell (Expand to Congress)
* Full funding for Faith Based Initiative and Congressional Page Progam.

It's imperative to vote for the GOP ticket otherwise the left coast girlie men Democrats with all of the druged out gay Hollywood crowd will destroy the moral fiber of God Bless the USA.

Haggard initially said that he didn't know the male prost. Now he says that he just went to him for meth, though in the audio tape he asked for "some more". You don't ask for some more on the first try(Lie two). However, the prost failed a lie detector which the prost insisted on. But polygraphs have long been known to be inaccurate (source www.epic.org/privacy/polygraph/). I think it is more than likely the prost is telling the truth just because he insisted on one. That sort of confidence is actually more reliable than the machine.

"Haggard talks to the President or his aides every Monday and is a frequent visitor to the White House."

I'm really starting to think all these Republican leaders are closeted self-hating homosexuals! Why can't they just live who they are without HIDING it behind what appears to be fake-christianity (due to the hypocrisy & deceit)

Jesus Christ made us all - they just can't accept that in their hearts - so they seek out gay *** secretly... how ANYONE could vote for them after the FOLEY deal, now this, and in Florida with the Crist scandal breaking is BEYOND COMPREHENSION.

I know a few self-haters myself, it's very sad, in fact I cry for them and pray for them.

To ozilot: No, just that Colorado marches to the beat of a different drummer......many laws are ignored there and they have many that are just plain strange.....like you are considered married if you tell your partner you are and register it...no license, no officials, no church.

to hsmagst: Just dealing with his admissions he bought meth, that's a crime in this state.

Check this out on People for the American Way website: "Haggard was one of those called by White House before President Bush announced his choice of John Roberts for the Supreme Court. Haggard says the White House called to reassure him about the selection and said that Roberts would %u201Chave respect for precedent but that precedent would not have the same weight as the Constitution itself.%u201D In fact, Haggard talks to the President or his aides every Monday and is a frequent visitor to the White House."

Did anyone one this post happen to see Bill O'riellys interview with the radio station regarding Mike Jones lie detector test.......seems he failed it in the crucial aspects of his supposed s3xual relationship with Ted Haggard. Maybe some of you should back off until all the evidence is in.

Haggard says he bought Meth, but didn't use it.

Sounds familiar

Kinda like: " I smoked, but didn't inhale"


PS

Good thing Barney Frank is a Democrat, or else liberals would be upset with him, too.

Isn't it just terrible when a Republican acts like a Democrat

snicker, snicker, bwa,ha,ha,ha
