Christian leadership tainted by politics?

  It's a good thing that most Christian leaders aren't scrutinized by the media for what they do and their connections as much as Republican politicians. If they were, we would be able to look forward to the fall of several prominent evangelical leaders in the next few months for association with Mr. Jack Abramoff, that person who is presently making so many Congressional politicians squeamish as he prepares to testify in court. Those Christian leaders who would be indicted for indirect, but guiltful, association would include such people as James Dobson of Focus on the Family, Phyllis Schlafly, and American Family Association head Don Wildmon. If you are interested in the whole story check it out here. Basically, these are people who got used for political purposes without their knowledge, intriguing eh. And yet, one wonders if those mighty politicians in Washington ever find they have been used inadvertently but get knocked down by the media anyways. Ah well, what goes around, comes around.
