FL-Sen: Katherine Harris: "God is the one who chooses our rulers"

By now, I think we can all agree that the Katherine Harris for Senate Campaign fell apart months ago.  But even still, the wagon missing a wheel hit another bump after the former Secretary of State that presided over the Florida recount mess said something clearly off the wall

The quote appeared in Saturday's Washington Post:

Rep. Katherine Harris (R-Fla.) said this week that God did not intend for the United States to be a "nation of secular laws" and that the separation of church and state is a "lie we have been told" to keep religious people out of politics.

"If you're not electing Christians, then in essence you are going to legislate sin," Harris told interviewers from the Florida Baptist Witness, the weekly journal of the Florida Baptist State Convention. She cited abortion and same-sex marriage as examples of that sin.

...Harris told the journalists "we have to have the faithful in government" because that is God's will. Separating religion and politics is "so wrong because God is the one who chooses our rulers," she said.

"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 certainly isn't what God intended."

What Katherine Harris uttered brilliantly demonstrated why we need more constitutional scholars in the U.S. Senate.  Ignoramuses like her who turn their backs on our constitution for the sake of pandering to the far-right really belong on talk radio and not on the Senate floor.  I think Floridians know what they would get with her, and they don't like the thought of it.

Other Harris Campaign news:

• According to sources, the Harris Campaign is waiting for her to pump $10 million worth of her inheritance money into her Senate effort in a last ditch effort to narrow the gap in the polls with incumbent Bill Nelson.  At the moment, Nelson leads Harris by 30 points.
• More evidence has surfaced that links Katherine Harris to the bribery scandal plaguing some lawmakers on Capitol Hill.
• During a campaign event last week, a number of her alleged major supporters were no shows.  According to the Orlando Sentinel, "None of the officials appeared at her campaign rally and one of them said Harris wrongly included him on her list of supporters."
