Katherine Harris in heaven? It's more likely than the U.S. Senate

Didn't she get Rove's memo...

...about supporting Joe Lieberman?

"...If you are not electing Christians, tried and true, under public scrutiny and pressure, if you're not electing Christians, then in essence you are going to legislate sin."

Her campaign later clarified that voters in Connecticut should disregard this portion of her statement.

(I'm kidding of course; she has no "campaign".)

She is a run-of-the-mill fundamentalist...

All the things Katherine Harris said are standard fundamentalist positions in standard fundamentalist jargon. You can hear the same ideas in the same words every day on "Christian" radio talk shows, plus a lot more.

Please tune in your local Christianist on the radio, and listen for a week or so. And maybe send the radio host a few mild, reasoning e-mails. Try to build a bridge, and get rejected, and realize how odd and fierce these people are.

Please listen to these Pharisees, and realize that they are all around us, all around the USA.

It appears, though, that they may have peaked. They cannot get anybody elected just by themselves. And they hate everybody else, so they will not make many more political alliances. Perhaps we can survive them.

My, My....

SHE thinks a lot of herself, doesn't she? Along comes a Republican whose grasp of reality is even more tenuous than GWB's. And one who is even more dangerously delusional. I'd feel sorry for her, but my heart doesn't bleed THAT much.

Katherine honey, a LOT of people love Jesus. It does not by any stretch of the imagination mean that all of them are necessrily competent or suitable to hold elective office. And anyone who claims they are the truth and the light automatically makes me wonder about their qualifications.

I don't question hers. She has none.
