Reid is anti-choice. I voted for him anyway last time because his opponent was anti-choice and much worse–wingnut coocoobird Sharron Angle.

Please do not do this. It’s stuff like you posted that got us where we are. TPM is all about shaking the shit of an issue so you can see it naked and real. There is a reason for that…jump on board.

The embarrassment is the Republican party. And the Mormon Church has some very goofy beliefs, too.

Mormonism is an embarrassment. Scientology before there was Scientology (minus Zenu, hydrogen bombs and mitichlorians or whatever the eff they’re called). Of all the world’s dangerous fantasies, this one is the most insidiously stupid. And we should all expect more of this as Mormons get into positions of power, such as in Arizona. (And no, this is not a “They’re here! They’re here!” plaintive cry à la “Invasion of the Body Snatchers.”)
The fact that pious frauds of all these dangerous fantasies are fixated on homosexuals and fetuses but are damnably silent on character assassination, which rots any moral fiber faster than “fuming” over some guy taking it up the arse, just shows they’re all full of shit.
Pathetic.

But if you’re into bombing innocent civilians like the GOP that’s okay? This guy’s an even bigger joke than the Mormon average …

Harry Reid doesn’t look like a guy who will let this bother him.
When I was a teenager, I went to a Mormon “wedding” at a little Mormon church.
This was for the heathens who couldn’t get into the real ceremony in the Temple.
After a real quickie protestantesque ceremony, the thing then degenerated into a multi-media recruiting presentation. Real crazy stuff.
Then we had bad white sheet cake and lemonade. Dad was pissed there was no coffee. LOL

The church is the most corporate, business driven religious organization in the country. Even their approach to growing its membership is marketing oriented. Those so called free bibles often advertised on TV are just come ons to get leads who can be proselytized by their missionaries. It’s also one of the wealthiest. No wonder the likes of Mitt Romney are prominent there, although I’m sure there are many middle income to poor followers, too.

“…A Mormon bishop…”
Conservatives have a term for them – the ruling elite.
“…noun: a select part of a group that is superior to the rest…”

Religious hierarchy, the Billionaire Political Boys Club, and the GOP combine to maintain the oligarchy in power – pro-big-business, anti-individual freedom, emphasis on trickle-down economics and religious and social authoritarianism. That’s what we’ve elected. Live with it or, next time, vote them out.

Connie, a quick googling shows that NARAL gave him a 100% rating in 2009, so I’m not sure how you could call him anti-choice.
