Well if she just "wasn't thinking straight" and would like to retract or clarify her comments and explain she supports the election of moral, ethical Reaganites who are "non-Christians", then I will welcome her comments.
I personally know a "non-Christian" Republican (he is of the Sikh faith) who ran in the GOP primary against Barack Obama. Sikhs are an Indian-based faith that is very devout, pro-life, conservative ethic that believes in a monothetist idea of one true God like Christians and Jews.
I would have welcomed the election of a "non-Christian" like him over the alledgedly "Christian" Barack Obama.
The problem is your gal Kathy didn't say we need to elect more "Reaganites" or "moral people" or even more "religious" people to office, she said we have to elect Christians and if we DON'T elect "Christians" then we're legislating sin. The reason why we don't' support your gal Kathy is she's bound to lose to Nelson in a landslide if she keeps "phrasing" her comments that way.
I think her campaign is running a chimp.
More Harris observations about the doings in the public square.
That's okay, perhaps I was a bit touchy! :-)
I'm a bit tired as I am posting tonight, so I am sure my posts are not as clear as they could be either.
And if we are the ones not actively involved in electing those godly men and women," then "we're going to have a nation of secular laws. That's not what our founding fathers intended and that's (sic) certainly isn't what God intended."
Speaking as a non-religious conservative, bite me Katherine Harris. Have fun losing by 40 points in November.
Harris just doesn't handle this issue as well as I do, does she? :) LOL.
GIven how profoundly stupid and dishonest her campaign has been, I tend to believe that this is true, and I'm not sure I'd believe it if they tried to deny the statement.
Time to get her out of the race. There's still time to salvage this. Florida is too red to fall because we couldn't be bothered to field a candidate qualified for office.
I guess the Harris supporters wouldn't mind that, as long as Jeb Bush would "Get behind" Harris so she'd get to face Nelson without having to struggle against a bunch of "unknowns" in the primary. If she's such a great Republican official and all her primary opponents are "last minute jokes who filed", you have to wonder why the Harris crowd is so hellbent on demanding the party play favorites.
True, but Kathy I'm sure would support the Sikh over non-Christian-Christian Barak Obama too, It's just that she mean the election of more Bible-Believing true Christians would make this country great(er). I am sure that you would not question that either.. I am sure that you would support the election of Christian-Reaganites like Pat Toomey over supposed Christians like Spector also.. would you not..?
Among others, including those not blessed with a leap of faith, of which I am one. I don't think Harris thinks things through very well, or frankly has much knowledge about any of this. In short, yes, I will say it, she is an "air brain." I don't think she means much harm really. She just pounds the keyboard as it were, but via her mouth.
Pssssssssssssssssssssssssst.....she didn't say that the person had to be a GOOD Christian; just a "Christian".
I am sure that Harris in that event, didn't say what she "meant."
[I agree, because I'm Catholic and evangelicals do not like us.]
I'm evangelical and I like Catholics. I'm expecting to meet Mother Teresa and Mel Gibson in the hereafter, among many others. It's whats in your heart, not the name of your particular denomination.
Strangely, I ended up with italics and lost the first sentence in my post on last attempt to post this...how odd!
Toomey should have won that primary, but Specter isn't a Christian, supposed or no. He's Jewish.
It certainly can't be because she's nuts, that'd be too simple.
Must be a conspiracy. Yeah.
