He did tons of stumping for Bush in the two elections Bush won, and is the leader for a 30 MILLION member New Life Church throughout the US.
Now that he has come out of the closet (well, not really, he's being a little Nixon at the moment), what do you think will happen to the Christian Right?
Here's a perpective...
Evangelical Figureheads:
#1. Pat Robertson
#2. Jerry Falwell
#3. Ted Haggard
Get it?
Did you find this question fair and balanced, if not, please explain, all opinions appreciated, thank you.

Well, this isn't the first time something like this has happened and it won't be the last.
I agree he is better known than people on here seem to realize. I think this is far more deliberate than some think.
However, none of the men you mention are my pastor, so none of them speak much to my perspective, and I am certainly not under their spiritual authority.
Do I have similar values? Yes. Is the fall of any of these men going to affect my voting or worldview? No.
New Life Church is just that, a church not a denomination. Their membership rolls are about 14k.
Yikes! They've even made Wiki!!! LOL http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Life_Church
Your question is legitimate. I don't agree with your conclusion. ; )
(And why are you posting questions I feel obliged to answer? LOL)

Your making a big deal out of nothing.
I think your jealous of Red NeoJesus. NeoJesus loves Gay men and wants everyone to share in that love.
The NJMBLA will make way for all NeoCons to share in the warmth of Red NeoJesus love.
Go big Red Go

Shiraz is an idiot, as many stupid questions that he has asked and he still hasn't learned that there is no spell check for questions.

Nothing, they will go on being the hypocrites that they are and see no irony in it at all.

We've seen you continually telling us...
And I've seen the dems all day long on here, willing to destroy the father of 5 children...
For politics.
And I thought the dems liked homosexuals?
