It appears and disappears … just like magic!
The highest-ranking Mormon in the federal government is Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, a Democrat from Nevada. But that’s okay, say the Dems. Reid is a MINO (Mormon in Name Only). Kinda like Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi, etc. are CINO (Catholic in Name Only).
Cuz, you see, sitting in a pew listening to someone say “G_d Damn America” is hunky-dory with the Left. It’s only having a deep faith in God and Jesus and — the horror — values and beliefs that are consistent with American ideals upon which this country was founded that is unacceptable.
Other LDS members in high office include: Senators Mike Crapo (R-Idaho), Mike Lee (R-Utah), Tom Udall (D-New Mexico), and Representatives Rob Bishop (R-Utah), Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah), Jeff Flake (R-Arizona), Dean Heller (R-Nevada), Wally Herger (R-California), Raul Labrador (R-Idaho), Jim Matheson (D-Utah), Buck McKeon (R-California), and Mike Simpson (R-Idaho).
According to pollsters, those who had reservations about a Mormon in the White House most often cited polygamy as their reason.
The Mormon church completely banned plural marriages worldwide in 1904. That was not just before Mitt Romney was born. It was before Mitt Romney’s father was born! Sheesh.

So … read and enjoy. Angela’s tweet rants are CLASSIC! 🙂
