Why I like Harry Reid

"It would seem like those who insist on making Mormonism a factor when dismissing Romney should be consistent and give Mormonism some credit when praising Reid."

I believe it was mainly conservative Christian Republicans who made Romney's Mormonism a big issue. If Reid or another Mormon were running for the Democratic ticket, I think his Mormonism would have been far less of an issue... and probably done in the context of his ability to win over Christian Republicans.

reids mormonism isnt an issue like romneys was cause his values are not in line with mormon values. yeah hes pro gun and anti abortion, and wants to ban flag burning like most mormons but what about his stance on the economy and his ideology as a whole? when looked at hes clearly not in the mainstream of the church. thats why his mormonism gets no attention. who cares if he thinks or calls himself a mormon as long as he acts another way politically.
also read what reid said in the post speech at byu interview about former prophet president benson. its outrageous.

Reid is as corrupt as the worst of the politicians in D.C. Check it out for yourself. Mormon values? Enough said.

I live in Nevada and he's a constant embarrassment.

"but what about his stance on the economy and his ideology as a whole"

What stance, pray tell, has the church taken on the economy?

I admire Harry Reid. I find it paradoxical that so many Mormons are Republicans, especially after the last Republican Administration. Their disregard for the Constitution, US law, and international law, not to mention their disregard for the truth and their commitment to torture seem indefensible from a Mormon standpoint, and from a greater Christian standpoint.

We Mormons are different; We all know that. As a missionary, I heard a thousand times words like these from non-members: "It doesn't matter to God what people believe specifically. Just be a good person. There are many pathways that lead to God." But we Mormons knew something else: There is a clearly defined path to God, and it is the restored gospel. We seem to be the only people who understand that our goal on Earth is to believe as God believes. And this explains why EVERY Mormon I know in the world thinks as I do on every important topic there is. It's what I love about the Church... we are consistent!

Which is why I am baffled by Harry Reid (and any other Mormon who claims to be liberal). Here's the bottom line: a TRUE Mormon CANNOT be a TRUE and modern liberal/socialist/progressive. It is not possibe. Every stake president and bishop I have every had would agree. A liberal Mormon is an oxi-moron.

So, either Harry Reid fails to understand the restored gospel of Jesus Christ... or I do!!! I would love to receive an email from anyone who can explain to me why both of us can "believe as God believes" and not both be conservative (And note that I did not say, Republican).

Harry Reid is no more a Mormon than the Pope.

His attaching of the Hate Crimes bill as an amendment to the Defense Bill and filing cloture is just another sad, sad example of his hypocrisy and paving the way for furthering the spiritual and moral decay of the land choice above all others. The bill he has just fast tracked is an attack on faith and family while granting special rights based on "sexual orientation" and "gender identity," terms which are not even clearly defined in the bill while the bill can be used to stop or intimidate free speech where the word of the Lord can not be spoken over the pulpit.

It is "Brother" Harry that is fast tracking this Bill and not permiting it to come forward on its own, to stand on its own merit. Completely agree with Brian Goulding, though I am no republican either. There is little difference between either party.
