When you embarrass a Mormon by exposing what Mormonism is about, their usual reaction is to conflate the terms and whine ‘hate’. Victimhood is big with their ism don’tchaknow.
This "Mormonism" sidebar got things derailed, even though as it turns out, Reid doesn't appear to me to be faithful to "Mormon" values.
As someone pointed out...that seems to be ok with the crew in SLC, leaving it to appear they likely relish power more than what they otherwise say is "truth".
Besides, if high-up muckety-mucks within Mormonism were to disown the lying creep, it could make Mormonism look bad.
Meanwhile, there are more than a few genuine TeaParty type conservatives in the rural parts of Utah.
They are big-time Tea-offed at the likes of Reid, and some of their own so-called conservative Republicans too, oh you betcha'.
