rep katherine harris gop dumbass of



Rep. Katherine Harris, GOP dumbass of the week

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."

"If you're not electing Christians, then in essence you are going

to legislate sin," Harris said.

I'm speechless. I've heard many stupid comments come from GOP

politicians, but this takes the cake. Her fellow legislators are

disgusted. I'm not surprised, though it does appear that more and

more the GOP is "God only party"...non Christians need not apply. I

suppose Harris next wants to outlaw us heathens, i.e., those who are

pagan, Jewish, Muslim...basically anyone non Christian?

Her comments drew criticism, including some from fellow

Republicans, who called them offensive and not representative of

the party.

Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Florida, who is Jewish, told the

Orlando Sentinel that she was "disgusted" by the comments.

Rep. Harris...literally an American Taliban. I would generally shy
