Investigation Starting into Mormon Church and Mormon Congressmen Over Personal Use of US Diplomats

Salt Lake City, UT - The Mormon church has once again gotten its hands caught in the cookie jar. Political watchdogs are calling for an investigation into the Mormon Church as well as Mormon members of Congress for using US Diplomats to further their religious agenda

Harry Reid's a Mormon?!?!?!

[rhonan]

Yeah, they're not all Republican. Besides, Mormon Democrats make a hell of a lot more sense then gay Republicans.

How about gay Mormon Republicans?

[notgarystu]

Lmao. Anecdata: I've seen it, but I've never seen it last. They've either become gay ex-Mormon Republicans or gay Mormon Democrats/non-partisans.

Well, he is a Nevada Senator. And Udall is also a Mormon Democrat and to the left of Reid, though the Udalls are Mormon Kennedys in the West. Some things trump partisanship, like religion.

That's true about Udall, that didn't even register with me. I'm just honestly surprised because Mormons do tend to be super-conservative, right (or at least the church is- of course that's true for catholicism as well!)?

Well, Reid is anti-abortion, which may be more rooted in his Mormon beliefs. I'd say Mormons are more monolithic than Catholics, and on economic issues, the Catholic Church is officially very left-wing, but not out of socialism as much as being so reactionary, they consider capitalism too radical.

That was my first reaction, directly before "But does he wear the special underwear?" *is twelve*
