I don’t understand why Mormons are screaming to High Heaven, or to the Salt Lake City Temple, that Reid needs to be excommunicated.
Meant to say “aren’t” screaming....
The reason Mormons aren’t screaming to Heaven over Harry Reid’s comments are:
1) By attacking Mitt directly over their Mormonism, he makes it more difficult for Chicago to attack Mitt indirectly on the topic. He also drums up sympathy for Mitt at a time where Romney is having a bad news cycle among moderates and independents.
2) If Romney wins, then Obama loses. If Obama loses, then Reid becomes the highest elected official in the Democrat Party. In which case, two temple Mormons (only the top 15% of Mormons undergo the secret rituals if I recall correctly) control both establishment parties.
My guess is that Harry’s comments were nothing more Kabuki Theater.
