Ted Haggard Wants Your Dough ~~ But Doesn't Need It...

[Hepburn]

Ted Haggard thinks he can pull the wool over his former flock’s eyes.

After being pushed from the pulpit for his gay, drug-fueled affair with reformed hooker, Mike Jones, the Evangelical and his poor family plan to set up shop in Phoenix.

From the way Haggard tells it, the move’s putting a bit of strain on his wallet. And he needs a little help from his friends.

In a letter to Colorado ABC affiliate KRDO’s consumer reporter, Tak Lanrock, Haggard writes:

It looks as though it will take two years for us to have adequate earning power again, so we are looking for people who will help us monthly for two years. During that time we will continue as full time students, and then, when I graduate, we won’t need outside support any longer.

But for the next two years, we will need support. Between now and the end of the year, we have to find the people who want to help us transition into our future. So I am starting today to let friends like you know that we are raising money for support as we move into the Phoenix Dream Center.

Geeee, "poor" Teddie: New Life is paying his $138K/year salary through 2007 and his house in Colorado Springs, which is for sale, is worth about $715K.

GMAFB! :eyes: This asshole makes Elmer Gantry look good.

2. He may have lost everything, but his swindling talents remain intact.

A PT Barnum of religion. MKJ

4. I guess some will fall for this BS....

...and Teddie and his wife will get a free ride for a few years. Sheesh!

[JeffR]

3. I'd be happy to help him "transition" into his future

A size 10 1/2 kick in his entitled, hypocritical ass might be just the thing for that transition.

5. I can teach him

how to be a full-time student, hold a full-time job, and support a partner. And I'm even gay, too!

6. Ted - pay your own way like the rest of us do.

[Hepburn]

8. I thought, too, that...

...Ted had some books and other stuff that he gets money from??? Maybe not a lot anymore, but he had to have had some income from all the shit of his they used to sell in the NL book stores, right?

[salin]

10. If not, let him get a job. Flip burgers if that is what it takes...

while the benies suck, Walmart is nearly always hiring.

Oh, that's right those jobs don't pay too much - better to get folks who work those job and try to live on those wages to send him a promised monthly check to support poor Ted and his family.

:puke:

7. I'm sure the closet flock will send him buckos. nt

[Swede]

9. Hookers and drugs must cost more in Phoenix.

Ted has to learn how to budget.

[Hepburn]

11. Yeah....

....at least until he gets the money out of the sale of his house that is worth $715K....then he can blow some...er...spend some is what I meant! :evilgrin:

[Maestro]

12. Disgusting!

They need support while they go to college? Fuck man! Get a loan like everyone else. Stop living off others you fucking mooch!

[SammyWinstonJack]

13. Why doesn't his "god" provide for him?

:silly: Jim Bakker is still begging for money. What a bunch of self serving a$$holes!
