AX, you still haven't posted your sources. From MSNBC...

Haggard, who had been NAE president since 2003, has participated in conference calls with White House staffers and lobbied Congress last year on Supreme Court nominees.

My best friend participates in conference calls with Karl Rove, I don't really see him as having an substantial connections to the administration or its policies. The simple fact is, trying to associate this guy with Bush is just juvenile and absurd. He's a Christian leader, and Bush meets with tons of them. He doesn't work for the White House, and even if he did, so what?

As for him being a leader, I think he probably is a leader of his church and whatever that group was. However, that group likely doesn't represent the majority of evangelical Christians I imagine, and therefore I highly doubt people could legitimately claim that he represents the majority of evangelical Christians. I fail to see how his conduct reflects upon anyone but himself.
