Harris: Non-Christian Politicians 'Legislate Sin'

“If you are not electing Christians, tried and true, under public scrutiny and pressure, if you’re not electing Christians then in essence you are going to legislate sin,” Harris told the Florida Baptist Witness in an interview last week. “Whenever we legislate sin and we say abortion is permissible and we say gay unions are permissible, then average citizens who are not Christians, because they don’t know better, we are leading them astray and it’s wrong.”

I wonder if Florida has enough Jews, Buddhists, Muslims, Pagans, Athiest, Agnostics, Shintos, Hindus, Toaists, Jainists, etc, to keep her ass out of office. I hope so.

And people say Christians are just good, harmless people. See what they talk about when they get together ???

Katherine Harris is a whackjob. Her entire campaign staff has walked out on her en masse...twice.

She apparently thinks her "payback" for Operation: Florida is a license to run amok.

Speaking of Utilitarian Boobs
 
Hey Flint. Did you see when Jon Stewart showed KH giving an interview for CNN? She was so oviously making sure her boobs were prominent in the camera shot; it was embarrasing even for me. Her piousness is so shallow. I think I'm gonna puke::vomitblu:

Harris is a very bad example of an extreme fundamentalist pandering hard toward her base.

And, in the interest of fair play, any extremist of any ilk is bound to sound like a raving lunatic when they pander to their base.

Oh, don't worry. It's OK:

Harris' campaign released a "Statement of Clarification" Aug. 26 attempting to douse the firestorm.
"In the interview, Harris was speaking to a Christian audience,
See, her words were directed at Christians. If you're not Christian, don't worry. She wasn't talking to you.

addressing a common misperception that people of faith should not be actively involved in government," the statement said.
Yes. That is a common misperception. Just look at how many atheists are in government, and how few people of faith. Some day we'll see someone elected to public office who isn't afraid to admit they believe in God.

Those poor Christians are so oppressed! I really feel for them, when they complain about it...

Spexxvet 08-30-2006 12:01 PM

I'm waiting to hear the phrase "Christian minority".
