Krazy Kruella: Electing non-Christians a SIN

[warrens]

MIAMI, Florida (AP) -- U.S. Rep. Katherine Harris told a religious journal that separation of church and state is "a lie" and God and the nation's founding fathers did not intend the country be "a nation of secular laws."

The Republican candidate for U.S. Senate also said that if Christians are not elected, politicians will "legislate sin," including abortion and gay marriage.

Harris made the comments -- which she clarified Saturday -- in the Florida Baptist Witness, the weekly journal of the Florida Baptist State Convention, which interviewed political candidates and asked them about religion and their positions on issues.

Separation of church and state is "a lie we have been told," Harris said in the interview, published Thursday, saying separating religion and politics is "wrong because God is the one who chooses our rulers."

Electing non-Christians a 'legislative sin'
"If you're not electing Christians, then in essence you are going to legislate sin," Harris said.

1. so she was against Lieberman too, then?

For the basest of reasons?

[warrens]

2. Is it possible to get nuttier?

My dream of seeing her pushing a grocery cart around Sarasota picking up empty cans and scrap metal is thisclose to coming true.

3. People not grounded in reality should not have power over others

Why do we only get to choose between crazy people?

5. Desperate for the fundy vote?

She sounds delusional!

[azurnoir]

6. Isn't that kind of

anti-Semitic?

[ComerPerro]

7. Don't disagree with her. Or you will get attacked on this board

for being a bigot, and for mocking her beliefs.

[warrens]

9. And when it happens

I feel more than entitled to fire back.

[Sydnie]

24. Well. I happen to think her beliefs are bigoted and like our resident

pResident, I fart in her general direction for even suggesting it.

She seems to lose site of the large population of jewish voters and catholic voters.

And no, most catholics I know don't consider Protestants to be "true christians" nor the other way around.

Seems she alienated all voters that weren't "of her sect" with that statement.

8. You just keep on talking, Katie.

Talk, talk and talk some more. It's gonna help ya. Really.
People LOVE to hear your unique take on the human condition.
Yep. Keep it up, girlfriend!

10. Yet again, I have to ask:

Where were these assholes when Bill Clinton was President? The man won the Presidency in two undisputed elections. Isn't that a pretty good sign that God wants a guy to be President? Whether the 'pukes liked it or not, Bill Clinton was their "divinely annointed leader" ( :puke: ) for eight years. If they went against Clinton, they were going against God. Right?

11. I heard this same thing at church once...

There is a Bible verse in Psalms or Proverbs or somewhere about how God puts rulers in power. Sounds like the perfect way that a King (Solomon?) might try to control his people (sheeple). "No matter what I do, you must accept it as God's will."

I would hope we have progressed beyond this kind of thinking. In fact we have--75% of us, anyway!

[SharonRB]

12. Just when I thought she couldn't get any crazier

she comes up with this.

Time to lock her up, I think.

[walldude]

13. I'm really going to miss her...

I saw somewhere that she said she only made those comments because she was speaking to a Christian group. That was when my head exploded.

[Initech]

14. Holy crap, this campaign keeps getting better and better!

Just wait until Harris' self-righteousness gets too big and her campaign leaves a permanent black hole in the GOP.

:popcorn:

[MikeNearMcChord]

15. You mean the GOP couldn't get anyone to run against

her in Florida? Not Diaz-Balart or Wexler? I wish I was running the Rolaids concessesion at the Florida GOP convention.

[TahitiNut]

16. "God is the one who chooses our rulers." The most batshit crazy thing ...

... said by any American politician in 100 years. Or more. That shit qualifies her for a straitjacket, imho.

Nobody so fucking insane should even be allowed to drive or be within 100 yards of small children.

Not "public servants" or even "leaders" but "rulers" for fuck's sake!! Not a democracy, but a theocracy. That fucking deluded lunatic needs to be locked up. "Legislate sin"?? Isn't that what the criminally corrupt bastards like Phil Gramm and Trent Lott and Tom DeLay have been doing? What was the IWR other than lunatic hypocrisy? What was the invasion of Iraq but a Crime Against Humanity, Against Nature, and Against Sanity?? She's batshit insane!!

[matt819]

17. Makes you wonder

Okay, we've all known since 2000 that she was a party hack working solely on behalf of the party, regardless of her status as a state official.

Now we find out for certain that she's batshit crazy. Makes you kind of wonder if the SCOTUS and the American public would have viewed the standoff in November and December 2000 differently if they knew that Harris was Christofascistamentalist.

18. Someone should ask Blackwell to comment on this. Wonder how he'd react.

:sarcasm:

[warrens]

20. Oh, he's been saying the same things at those fundie churches

They belong to that part of Christianity that feels that lying, killing, cheating, anything is ok if it's someone who isn't part of your religion. They're sociopaths.

[opihimoimoi]

19. Hey, she is the GOPs poster girl...

People listen to her.

[mnhtnbb]

21. "God chooses our rulers" but we augment our titties through free will

[Sydnie]

22. ROFLMAOPIMP!!!!!!!!!

Best Harris Comment EVER! :rofl:
