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

Is it necessary to say that nutcases are everywhere. That this man, Haggard would risk his family, his religion, his followers, for a homosexual romp, just goes to show you, you really cannot trust anyone. Who knows what is behind the facade?
That he, or the Catholic priests that prey on children while they seemingly maintain their religious fronts is beyond reason. To just attribute their actions to human weakness just won't cut it.
And so it goes. Don't turn your back to anyone.

Of course, we all know the moral high ground is held by people of faith and those who represent them. I guess John 3:16 must now read, %u201C For God so loved the conservative Christian movement of the USA, that he gave his only begotten son for the republicans. That whosoever believes the religious right will be able survive any lie they tell, mistress they choke, fabricated war they start, or any sick person they mock. We%u2019re still counting, rapidly. Oh, I forgot any gay prostitute they solicited for drugs or ***. Being gay is a sin. We won%u2019t mention prostitution. Acceptable behavior for those who can, %u201Cfaith their way out of it.%u201D Everyone that has a personal relationship with God is eligible. They%u2019ve given a new meaning of using the Lord%u2019s name with vanity. We%u2019re getting cheated and the people of faith are doing the devils bidding. The folks on the other side of the world base their government on religion instead of factual principals. They unquestionably have a nicer place to live. That maybe the answer to the, %u201Cwhat%u2019s your plan%u201D question. Base our countries bearing on facts instead of a 2000 year old religion with deceptive leaders.

My this is an awful lot of fuss over what is known in the gay world as the "happy ending". Geez, why is everyone so shocked that most men who go to male massage boyz are married.

gregalthoff you say,,Ted Haggard is a person, a human being.
You say, "that he is human who made a mistake". and that We all have our good and bad days.
gregalthoff you say a lot here about this man, this is a man who only confessed ONCE he was FOUND out, and did NOT admit anything until he WAS found out... Like Jimmy Baker he is only sorry because he was found out, and one wonders if he was sorry because they could see their incredible source of money disappearing.

I would find it very easy to forgive if there was something to forgive, if he himself had come to his congregation and told them that he had something weighing heavily on his heart that he had a confession to make, however he didn't, and didn't he kept this lie up for years, and you cant tell me that he only did a bit of drugs while he was hiding his secret away with a male prostitute for all those years...
It breaks my heart to see these fools make a mockery of Christianity. It is only God who knows the heart of these men, but I find it hard knowing the reputation that the acts of these men in their selfishness have given to Christianity... There is a move to destroy Christianity without it being helped along by leaders of religions.

Am I alone in being much more disgusted by what Haggard has admitted to doing than I would be by what he is denying? He apparently thinks admitting to the drug allegations is the lesser of two evils. If that is the case, it pretty clearly shows how wacky his values and self image really are.

When was the last time admitting to being gay landed anyone in prison? On the other hand, admitting to buying Methamphetamine is something that gets prosecuted everyday regardless of whether or not it is ever actually used.

This guy is a really bad liar if you ask me. Who would buy Methamphetamine for use while just receiving a %u201Cmassage%u201D for relaxation? That makes about as much sense as taking tranquilizers before running a marathon.

Hopefully a few of the 14,000 people being fooled by this guy are aware that a Methamphetamine high boosts s3x drive and its use is often correlated with s3xual abuse. Methamphetamine is very often used in scenarios described by Jones. His story is VERY believable compared to the idea that Haggard bought Meth from Jones along with a %u201Cmassage%u201D and never used the Meth!

Methamphetamine use has also been credited with causing major increases in violent crimes among many other detriments to society. And of course Haggard%u2019s good buddy Bush will tell you that buying Meth helps to fund terrorism.

I don't know who is guilty of what, but why do most of the comments assume that the male prostitute is telling the truth but the female stripper in the Duke rape case told lies?

Anyone remember the case of Samsom and Deliela?
Delila kept after the judge Samsom until she got him.He was dumb enough to fall for it, even though he had had a lifetime of strengths on his record, but Deliela had a committee egging her on.

OH YEA, admit your guilt AFTER you have been found out... and seek Gods guidance, what a lot of rot, He knew his bible and the Bible is very expliciate on the subject, and my guess is a couple of the reason homosexuality was not allowed by God is that children are not concieved that way, and because of the disease associated with homosexuality, infectious Diseases are a plight and a Bedfellows of homosexuals.... Look up and read.
Homosexuals and Sexually Transmitted Infections, and the
Medical Downside of Homosexual Behaviour.
The media wont print such things which makes one wonder why???, and they also dont tell us that thousands a year are coming out of homosexuality, and most are staying out and leading normal lives..

I actually feel bad for this guy. Can you imagine the amount of self loathing one must have to walk around spewing hate about your own kind. A secret life like that is so unhealthy - I will pray for him because despite his hypocrisy and use of god's name to benefit himself, because he surely needs all the help he can get.

Ooops, I forgot about the censored words, I hope this works ...

"I'd like to point out that Pres Clinton never inhaled..."

Hee hee. Thank you meboard, that gave me a good chuckle. I'm just waiting for the Republicans to try and spin this one. "I bought meth from a homosexual prostitute, but didn't use the meth or have relations with the prostitute?"

Sheesh.

He bought the drugs to lure homosexuals and sexual deviates more of his type to his sinful lair.
The truth to this story is buried in his shameful deceit.

oh he is a little devil, isn't he.
Schemeful at home (poor wife) work (god knew all along and didn't say a word) and with his prostitutes.

How come republicans and these guys have so many problmes, its weird. You have rush limberger the dope fiend, bill bennet the gambling juhnkie, the congressman in Pa with his $500,000 mistress.

Well this freak (the "evangelist") has the excuse he was tempted, i guess they'll say they are such good people that the devil tempts them extra, that's why they can't keep their hands off of male prostitutes.
