Evangelist asks House Speaker Hastert to resign

[TomInTib]

A little more on this K A Paul fellow..


PLANO, Ill. -- An Indian Christian evangelist who boasts he persuaded warlord Charles Taylor to give up the Liberian presidency came to House Speaker Dennis Hastert's home Tuesday on a similar mission: to get the Republican leader to step down over the congressional page scandal.

Hastert welcomed Houston evangelist K.A. Paul, founder of the Global Peace Initiative, at his door and spent about 30 minutes inside with him. Later, Hastert declined to comment on the meeting, saying, "That's a privileged conversation."

Paul said the two prayed together and he told the speaker he should resign.

You need to for the sake of the country and for the sake of your future," Paul said he told Hastert. "You pray within your heart and you do it."

Paul is best known as Taylor's spiritual adviser, and he has often passed along messages from former Liberian president Taylor, who is in jail awaiting trial before a war crimes tribunal. Paul also claims to have counseled Saddam Hussein, Slobodan Milosevic and Haiti's rebel leader Guy Philippe.

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.

The Houston-based preacher said he believes that the Bush administration has delayed the second coming because U.S. foreign policy has blocked Christian missionaries from working in Iraq, Iran and Syria.

"Somebody needs to say enough is enough," he said to worshippers who stood, waved and called out in support.

At just over 5 feet tall, the charismatic man in a beige three-piece suit trimmed with sparkles is the latest - and perhaps the most flamboyant - voice in the debate this fall over religion and politics in Ohio.

Hastert's breaches own home security

PLANO, Ill., Oct. 11 (UPI) -- U.S. House Speaker Dennis Hastert caused Secret Service agents headaches by letting a stranger into his Illinois home without being cleared.

Hastert met the man in a restaurant in his hometown of Plano, Ill., Monday and made arrangements to meet with him Tuesday at 7:30 a.m., the Chicago Sun-Times reported.

The man turned out to be evangelist K.A. Paul of Houston, who showed up Tuesday with a photographer.

As third in line to the presidency, Hastert has a constant security contingent which was reportedly taken off guard by the visit, which lasted about 40 minutes, the newspaper said.

4. I wonder what Hastert prayed for. Maybe a couple sides of beef?

Along with a few bushels of double dipped homefries appearing magically at his front door?

How nice they prayed together. That must mean Hastert's a good guy. ugh
