The fact that Sen Reid is Mormon is well known--and isn't held up as a reason to like, dislike, support or oppose him. Politics, and not religious identity, is what matters inside the Democratic party.<BR/><BR/>Were one of the Democratic front candidates Mormon, I'm quite confidentogrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15910505029382522110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8442628.post-7991305344358898582007-11-10T04:31:00.000-07:002007-11-10T04:31:00.000-07:00well jettboy, I think you truly misunderstand libe...well jettboy, I think you truly misunderstand liberals and Democrats when it comes to religion, and I highly doubt you will see them properly.

Many Mormons are troubled that he keeps it seperate from his politics, because religion is important to them. Now, dogmatism and exclusion in politics is not considered acceptable, as I haveJettboyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00300495482595955440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8442628.post-15713506746806669942007-11-09T19:29:00.000-07:002007-11-09T19:29:00.000-07:00Jettboy,You misunderstood my statement that "they ...Jettboy,<BR/><BR/>You misunderstood my statement that "they don't care about the Mormon faith."<BR/><BR/>What I mean is they don't judge the politician by his religion, unless that politician wears his religion on his sleeve.

At the least, to get Mormons to stay home and not vote out of frustration.<BR/><BR/>As to your statement, "they don't care about the Mormon faith" is the part that keeps more Mormons from voting Democrat.
