uh , you know the Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is a Democrat Mormon? no? if you lived in Nevada you could vote for him or not
i think some people have a misconception that 100% of Mormons are conservative republicans, that isn't the case
also Stewart Udall Secretary of the Interior from 1961-1969 in the administrations of President John F. Kennedy and Lyndon B. Johnson was a Mormon Democrat, Kennedy must not have had a problem with Mormons in politics
Fair, points, but they are exceptions - a few interesting things:
- a poll shows 74 percent of Mormons 'lean Republican'; 17 percent 'lean Democrat
- Only 8 percent say they're "liberal"; 66 percent say they're "conservative", while only 37 percent of the US says that
- 31 percent say there is a lor of discrimination against blacks in the US; 46 percent say there is a lot of discrimination against mormons
- 86 percent have a favorable opinion of Mitt Romney; only 22 percent do of Harry Reid
- 25 percent have a favorable opinion of President Obama, about half the national rate
So, let's be clear, 'Democratic Mormons' exist, but are the relative exception.
