They put their version of religion above everything else which is obvious when you look at Harry Reid. US Evangelicals did the same thing with Carter because he said he was “born again” but had never in his life even pretended to be a conservative. You'd think people would learn that it's getting a solid conservative elected that really counts.

Isn't that supposed to be how it works?

Being a member of a religion is not the same as being a member of a particular country club, bicycle rally or Moose Lodge. In theory, the religion is deeper than an affiliation of like minded people in that religion is supposed to transcend the temporal. Harry Reid is a Mormon in label only. He is far estranged from Mormon Principles and teachings. In Nevada, only 7% of the population claims to be of the Mormon faith, not 27% in Idaho or 72% in neighboring Utah so I doubt the Mormon vote was consequential. What Nevada does have is plenty of union thugs and a strong presence of The Mob. The religion of union membership has greater solidarity and fidelity than your typical garden variety Mormon has to the LDS faith.
