WoW! Stark contrast to what the religious right itself is claiming about their influence.
After George Bush was elected, they cheerily proclaimed that he was going to give them three SCOTUS judges, remember?
And then we have all the people who claim that this is a "Christian" nation...

One thing that was made public out of the whole "Ted Haggard" thing was talk about how religious leaders talk at least weekly to the president. But I guess that's "NO clout", eh?

Were you joking with that statement of yours?
