I'm quite sure that Reid's Mormonism was known from his earliest days in politics. That's not something one hides. Good chance it was featured in the news with his approval -- Mormons kinda like attention -- or at least they try to get good attention since they know attention is unavoidable. Knowing he was a Mormon is what made me trust him initially. I thought that maybe it might have something to do with governing -- might make him better. I was wrong. But for the purposes of my OP it had nothing to do with governing. It has to do with the shame he has brought upon the faith I identify with. So if I'm part of his community, it's okay for me to judge? Then what are you quibbling about? I'm part of his community. Yes, Reid said that about Romney. As an American, as a Mormon, and as someone who is responsible for sending people to Washington to help stop people like Reid, I make judgments based on my observations. The LDS tenet is not to "not judge" but rather "don't judge unwisely". I have a multi-dimensional platform from which to judge Reid. And he is slime for what he has said about so many people he wrongly judged, in addition to the other wrongs he has committed as he has lied to us and failed to stand up to Obama when Obama did things he wouldn't have tolerated if Bush had tried them -- like that whole "let the President decide that the Senate is in recess" thing after all the things Reid did and said in relation to those pro forma Senate sessions while Bush was in office.
