US Rep. Harris: Church-state separation 'a lie'

In case anybody has forgotten, Katherine Harris was Florida's secretary of state, overseeing the 2000 presidential recount in Florida.
From the wire:
Quote:
Harris made these comments 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."
"If you're not electing Christians, then in essence you are going to legislate sin," Harris said.
So, by Mrs. Harris' logic:
1) Christians are incapable of sinning 2) All non-Christians are, in fact, sinners
On the bright side, it is very unlikely that she will win the election.

Joe Lieberman said something similar when he was running for the Dem pres nomination in 2000. In essence it was that you had to believe in a super best friend in order to be able to make correct moral choices. Fucking pissed me off as much as this moron.

Separation of church and state is "a lie we have been told," At first I agreed with her, I do not believe there is the disconnect that the founders believed in Harris said in the interview, published Thursday, saying separating religion and politics is "wrong because God is the one who chooses our rulers." And then you stick your foot in your mouth.
"If you're not electing Christians, then in essence you are going to legislate sin," Harris said.
Someone should show her a copy of the CONSITUTION, her last two statements are in direct conflict with James Madison and Thomas Jefferson views.
Isn't she running for US rep? How is she doing?

After consulting with Karl Rove and discussing the marginally successful a boob and a bible campaign of GWB, Harris had decided to go one better and is campaigning with two boobs and a bible.
Unfortunately, Deibold and the Supreme Court may not be able to put Harris on top as they had done with GWB. However, she has the wherewithal to put herself on top of several influential Republicans and ride them to victory.

"Rulers"? Very revealing choice of words there.

> Isn't she running for US rep? How is she doing?
Not good, she isn't expected to win. She is also in trouble for something to do with illegal campaign donations, in the range of $35,000. Even the neo-cons are starting to distance themselves from her. However, I think her viewpoints and choice of words are very revealing towards the typical neo-con mentality.
