“Can you trust what the Deseret News says, GMR?
In this case, I think so.
In every case can I trust the DN? Hell no. They do reprint a lot of AP stories as you might imagine. Some of their columnist are liberal also. etc, etc.
Anyway the story you reference paints a different picture than TN’s post.
Did Every senator and representative meet the Mormon leaders as TN claimed? Yes or No.
Does the Mormon church get involved in Every issue as TN claimed? Yes or No.
Does the Mormon church get involved? Yes.
I suspect that many churches get involved in some issues.
Here in UT it is mainly issues such as gambling, moral issues, abortion, sexually oriented businesses etc. It is a matter of degree. The degree painted by TN is not accurate in my opininon.
GF39. Do ‘active’ Mormons ever disagree and vote differently on issues? Yes or No.
If they vote differently what is the eclesiastical repercussion?
See Harry Reid. If I was king for a day he’d be booted out of the Mormon church for many reasons but the main one is that he is a threat to the freedom of the world. The USA is/was the “Last Best Hope on Earth” and he and his ilk are destroying that.
I am a lot of things but ‘out of the loop’ is not one of them. Probably more informed that 99% of the people out there. FReepers excepted of course.
Nice straw man you built up there...don’t believe I will bite.
