being conservative doesn’t mean you have to like values voters steering the party.

ernesto on October 11, 2007 at 2:07 PM

So, ‘nesto . . .
you’re against anyone with values?
or you’re against anyone with those (whatever they are) values?
or you don’t know what values to be against, but if they are from Christians, you’re agin ‘em?or you just don’t want them to steer?
who (or what) would you have steer?

Oh, you confuse me so.

Harry Reid must apologize resign take a long walk off a short pier.

Yup.

Harry Reid must apologize resign.

There, that’s better…

Not for what he said, he gets to own that (and hopefully there will be appropriate political repercussions) – but for the way he wears his LDS faith on his sleeve and repeatedly represents said faith in such a poor manner.

I am truely sorry he is such an idiot.

“Those who believe nothing will believe everything”

…and the Harry Reids of this world continue to prove him right.

I think we all need to learn more about others around us. I learn something new every day.

As far as interest goes, mob bosses cover all options.

Beware fascism in all its vain glory, believed in by the basest, and adored by trolls.

Reid and Pelosi are the wolves in wolves’ clothing. They hate … democracy…

madmonkphotog on October 11, 2007 at 11:45 AM

Actually, they LOVE Democracy. What they don’t like is our Republic (and they way the Founders set it up). They love the idea of a democracy, which is (in keeping with your wolves theme above) two wolves and sheep deciding what’s for dinner.

Reid, Pelosi, Clinton et al would love a pure democracy that they could fully manipulate with propaganda. That’s why Hillary has said in the past that she would like to see the end of the Electoral College and have a direct election of the President (having every Federal office become direct elections). Liberals got two-thirds of their wish when the 17th Amendment passed allowing the direct election of Senators (just like Representatives) instead of election by State Legislatures as the Founding Fathers had set up.

How do you figure that? You think that because I take the time to understand others instead of taking the lazy way by watching cartoons that distort the truth that it proves that I am “one of them”?

How utterly ignorant of you.

“One thing about him is he is balanced, prudent and very easy to work with,” says William Nixon, a Washington lobbyist, former Hill staffer and a local Mormon church elder. “He is the example that the Democratic Party is not going to allow itself to be co-opted by the far left.”

Someone is living in Fantasyland. I didn’t know Disney opened a theme park in Utah.

Am I the last one to figure out that csdeven is a Mormon? It explains so much.

Dingy Harry is a product of the cultural atmosphere of the LDS church that is not in line with the doctrine. The GA’s don’t spend a lot of time on that stuff because the teachings of Christ are more than enough for some in the membership. Dingy may be placing entirely too much focus on the priesthood and not enough time on the teachings of Christ as taught by the LDS church. On one hand he believes that what he does as a representative of the people is separate from his dealings with God, so he can pretty much do what ever he wants as their representative. On the other hand, he just said this:

“I don’t think you can separate your religion from your politics, its part of your personality. It is part of who you are.”

One subtlety that most people wouldn’t notice is that this is a back door slam on Romney, because that is exactly what Mitt is trying to explain to those who don’t know or trust the LDS faith. (This probably has been missed unless you understand the LDS faith) This is a despicable statement in my view. He is skewering a fellow member by trying to come off like it is the official policy of their church. Dingy has the two principles backwards. You should represent the people who elected you, but you have to stay pretty close to what your core values are. Harry may follow the abortion issue, but he is clearly anti-American and anti-military. The people of Nevada are neither of those things.

In the LDS church they have a statement designed to make you think about your priorities. It isn’t part of their canon, but it does square with their teachings. Generally it states that there are going to be many people who are surprised where they end up in the after life. They will also be surprised at the people who made it to where they thought THEY were going to end up.

Time to go back to PC 101.

Harry Reid is a corrupt, disingenuous, and deceitful liar.

In other words a liberal politician.

Sen. Harry Reid is either a bigot or a fool. He spoke at Brigham Young University yesterday, and Deseret News quotes him as saying the following.

OR? more like AND.

You know what’s anti-Christian, The Dishonorable Senator Reid? Lying through your teeth. You, Murtha, Hillary, Edwards, Kerry, and Pelosi have turned bearing false witness into an art form.

The one point Obama has over these tools is that he’s a genuine, hopelessly naive nutcase whose support comes from actual living people. These undesirable cretins lie for sport and then talk about how everyone else isn’t Christian.

His comments at BYU at the post-address press conference answer that to some degree. He’s a democrat first, so he sees everything through that lens. He takes his religion a la carte.

Last year, when the LDS church came out vocally in favor of the marriage amendment, even taking the unusual step of advocating for the issue from the pulpit, Harry Reid worked against the bill. That tells me all I need to know about the man’s priorities.

If they offend other liberals-leftists, they will not apologize, but their friends will tell how they did not mean to offend, that it was only a joke, they were minunderstood, and all is well with the world, and the offending liberal-leftist is, once again, off the hook.

In other words, liberals-leftists are dishonest, immoral, and valueless, unless one calls hating Christians, Israel, the US military, Conservatives, pro-lifers, babies living inside mother’s womb, the institution of marriage as it has been for thousands of years – a man and a woman at its most basic, honesty, compassion, kindness, and sincerity having morals and values.
