Poll question: What does "The Family's" involvement in John Ensign's affair say about them?

In the September 2007 Mother Jones, Sharlet and Kathryn Joyce reported that Hillary Clinton (pictured at the 2009 National Prayer Breakfast) has been active in Bible-study and prayer circles affilated with the Family. Writing in The Nation, Barbara Ehrenreich reported that Clinton described Family leader Doug Coe as "a unique presence in Washington: a genuinely loving spiritual mentor and guide to anyone, regardless of party or faith, who wants to deepen his or her relationship with God."

Wikipedia on "The Family (Christian political organization)"
There is no official membership of the group. Most members of Congress who participate are from the Republican Party but some Democrats such as Hillary Clinton, Doug Coe has been a spiritual mentor for Clinton, participate as well.

5. It's all about power. This is why Hillary was so indignant in losing. She felt she was anoited.

Scary group!
