Who is the "Arlington Group" and what did Reverend Ted tell Bush 4 days ago
Edited on Fri Nov-03-06 01:26 PM by underpants
See Father Ted openly claimed that he talked to Bush "every Monday"


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ted_Haggard
Haggard is a firm supporter of President George W. Bush, and is often credited with rallying evangelicals behind Bush during the 2004 election.<13> Author Jeff Sharlet reports that Haggard "talks to... Bush or his advisers every Monday" and opines that "no pastor in America holds more sway over the political direction of evangelicalism."<14>

8. THAT list...
is representative of more moral depravity and soul-lessness than I can wrap my mind around. I wonder if any one of them has an ounce of human compassion in their heart.
