					<description><![CDATA[&quot;If Haggard was a liberal Episcopal, this story would have never made the news.&quot;

Well, in a way you&#039;re probably right.  If Haggard was a liberal Episcopal, then he wouldn&#039;t have held news conferences decrying the evils of homosexuality and pushing for an anti-gay marriage amendment.

If Haggard was a liberal Episcopal, he wouldn&#039;t have been preaching against gay sex from his televised pulpit.

If Haggard was a liberal Episcopal, Jones would never have felt that he had an obligation to reveal the hypocrisy of a man who was doing harm to those whom Jones&#039; cares about.

If Haggard was a liberal Episcopal, then this whole scandal would never have happened.

Don&#039;t blame this on Democrats or mainstream media.  Blame this on a man who gambled that he could stir up voters with fear about gay couples without his own actions coming to light.  He lost that gamble and only has himself to blame.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[&quot;If Haggard was a liberal Episcopal, this story would have never made the news.&quot;

Hogwash.  How come whenever a conservative blows it it&#039;s the democrats&#039; fault?

Both parties love to catch the other party with its pants down.  Have you forgotten the delight the Republican&#039;s felt over the Clinton/Lewinsky affair?]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[This is simply the Democrats and mainstream media throwing mud at Christian Conservatives - and linking them to Republicans - the week before an election.

If Haggard was a liberal Episcopal, this story would have never made the news.

Evangelicals know this, and if anything, I think it will bring more out on Tuesday.]]></description>
