I cannot believe what I am reading on this website and you all are defending her comments. She is flat out wrong and must add could be called many names I can think of for her stance that only Christians should be elected to office.
I didn't see that any where in the Constitution or in the documents of our founding fathers that declare you have to be Christian to run for office as a Republican. The documents talk about God and in later years we have 'under God' added to the Pledge; In God We Trust as our motto, and the list goes on. No where does it say you have to be Christian to run for office or be a Republican. Last time I checked it says 'freedom of religion' not this Nation will be a Christian Nation.
I think I have seen it all now on this site. I am a Christian but some of the holier than thou comments on here make me sad that some of you will say anything to defend this woman. Next are some of you folks going to say only your church is the true Christian religion? Where does it stop?
You ought to have a look at the Mitt Romney threads! They are beyond disgusting. The holier than Thou are having a field day bashing Mitt and his religion.
This thread, for the most part, is not only a total embarrassment, but makes FR look far worse than our enemies claim this site is.
If Katherine Harris looked like Helen Thomas, her dwindling supporters, especially the males, would have disavowed her years ago. And the Taliban-lite religious KOOKERY, is beyond the pale.
Next are some of you folks going to say only your church is the true Christian religion?
Now that is what the Constitution is talking about. That is the power of man made religious control the founder's experienced that they didn't want to have happen again. Using religion as a litmus test. It is about a value system and we all have one, although some bury it very deep because if others were to see it in the harsh light of day they couldn't get elected dog catcher.
