While not thrilled with her- I was going to vote for Harris. Until today- when I read the article in the Orlando Sentinel about her appearance before a Baptist group.

THIS sentence is what finished me with Harris:

"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.




I am not a liberal or an atheist. I have and likely will in the future vote for candidates that are not Christian. I do not consider that to be legislating sin. I find that remark of hers- and the others in that statement to be offensive IN THE EXTREME.

Harris' campaign released a statement Saturday saying she had been "speaking to a Christian audience, addressing a common misperception that people of faith should not be actively involved in government."

The comments reflected "her deep grounding in Judeo-Christian values," the statement said, adding that Harris had previously supported pro-Israel legislation and legislation recognizing the Holocaust.
