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..
As they say in a holy roller church: Amen! Haggard's only transgression in the voters who even considered his actions in their voting is that he was a liar, did what he did with the other man and was a hypocritical voice against the very sins he was doing. A modern day Billy Sunday.
Nary a one saw his environmental stance as an issue to vote for the dems.
While we have the drive by media to contend with, our side has the jaw bone media (talk radio) and the ink pen media (self appointed pundits who get published by WND, Newsmax, Townhall and others) who have in the past few months and days after the election been worse in handling the election than the MSM.

Maybe not as far fetched as it seems. There are many committed liberal voters and committed conservative voters who understand the issues. There are also many people who vote who are totally clueless by our standards. Some of the people in this last category may happen to be churchgoers. Even a relatively small increase in "evangelical" votes for the dems along with the expected historical trends in year six and the old media attacks could have made a difference. I don't know.
