Without commmenting on the theology itself, this is the dumbest reason given for why the Republicans lost this election that I've seen yet, and the bar was pretty high..

If evangelicals left the party, we would win.

I consider myself fairly well-versed on politics, but I never HEARD of Haggard until he was "outed" by the media. I think his effect on the ultimate outcome was almost nada.

I agree 100%. I never heard of him either.

According to this article they did leave us, and we lost.

Funniest thing I've read all day. Evangelicals leaving the GOP would find us back to our 1970s numbers in government.

This article is ridiculous.

Here in Colorado (where Ted Haggard is actually from) the Republicans who held to a strong Biblical stance and were not afraid to speak truth ALL won! The "Republicans" that were wishy-washy and catered to the trade winds that were blowing got it handed to them.

How does this article explain these God-fearing Republicans from Colorado: Congressman Doug Lamborn, Congressman Tom Tancredo, and Congresswoman Marilyn Musgrave?

And on the state level we have God-fearing representatives such as Kevin Lundberg, Greg Brophy, Mike Kopp, Dave Schulteiss, etc., etc., etc.

As a papist it is my understanding that Baptists are fundamentalists and evangelicals are NOT fundamentalists. That seems to be confusing a lot of folks here.

Great idea - losing 40 million votes sounds like a great start to a winning strategy. Moron.

Not to mention that many Envanglical churches signed with the Council of Churches agenda (Antiwar, antigun, pro social welfare, pro abortion, pro-criminal, ect)

There are fundamentalist Baptists and evangelical Baptists. Don't worry about it. Let's just read the Bible and let God do the talking. ;-`

Ted Haggard's problems decribed in this article had no effect on this election whatsoever.
