Hastert Confidante: GOP Is Delaying Christ’s Second ComingFrom yesterday’s — yesterday’s — Cleveland Plain Dealer:
Voters should oust congressional Republican leaders because U.S. foreign policy is delaying the second coming of Jesus Christ, according to a evangelical preacher trying to influence closely contested political races.
K.A. Paul railed against the war in Iraq on Sunday before a crowd of 1,000 at the New Spirit Revival Center in Cleveland Heights, his first stop on what he hopes is a 30-city campaign.
“[J]ust over 5 feet tall. . . [a] charismatic man in a beige three-piece suit trimmed with sparkles,” is how the paper described Paul, who today met with embattled House Speaker Dennis Hastert for 30 minutes.
The paper also noted that The Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability, a group which monitors charitable and religious groups, has “cut ties” with Paul’s organization, the Global Peace Initiative, after it “failed to provide information about its board of directors and the use of its resources.”
