Reid: No group is harder on me than fellow Mormons
The Salt Lake Tribune ^ | Jan 21 2017 09:06 pm | PEGGY FLETCHER STACK

Harry Reid didn't begin life as a Mormon, and some fellow Latter-day Saints today still don't believe the outspoken liberal could be one of them.

Yet the just-retired five-term senator from Nevada became that body's Democratic leader and the highest-ranking elected Mormon in the nation's history.

The scrappy 77-year-old, who fought his way to the top of the political heap from a tiny prostitute-ridden Nevada town, is used to slings and arrows from every side. Still, the blows from pew sitters in his own faith sometimes find a more tender mark.

I don’t think he’d wanna meet me in a small town in Nevada. I’m not threatening anything physical but I’d give that slug an earful. In the meantime, Harry, go get your shinebox.

Given that his brother beat him to a pulp and blinded him in one eye, I agree.

Wow, I didn’t know that ever happened. I know he had a serious run-in with his home workout equipment in his later years. [I’m still calling BS on the official story. It happened New Year’s Eve into the wee hours of New Years Day. I’m betting he got stumbling drunk and had a little household accident.]

Harry, you should listen to the LDS more. Theological arguments aside, At least you’d hear about honesty and some additional good moral values. Just saying -—

No joke, former-Sens. Reid and Bennett need to get together and go bowling.

He just missed in his attempt to be a full-fledged Mormon, instead of magic underwear he has major underworld.

Also, much like the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, he’s often a big hit in the temple.

I hope when the Senate used the “Reid Rule” to confirm rock solid conservative judges, a little piece of his worthless soul dies knowing he is the reason they are confirmed...

It shouldn’t take but two three judges for him to wither away completely...
