Is it because Reid is a far left liberal and agrees with you so him being mormon is no big deal???? Why do you claim all mormons will vote mindlessly for him because he is mormon even though most mormons I know wouldnt ever vote for Harry Reid and he claims to be a practicing mormon? Liberals and dems claim to be the party of inclusiveness but then I see so many bash Romney because of his religion, yet dont seem to care that Reid is mormon because he is a far left lib. It seems very convenient to use the mormon card against Romney because you dont like his more republican views and yet ignore it in a mormon politician you do share political views with.

This is simple. Henry Reid is a Senator. Mormon Senators aren't a big deal and happen all the time. Although the Senate is a national governing body, each Senator represents a state. Whereas the President is arguably the most powerful person in the World. For the length of his term he's the face of the United States, almost as much as the flag is. Anyway, the President is a much bigger deal. This has nothing to do with party politics and simply because of the nature of the office.
Both sides are bashing Mitt. Neither side is blameless.

Because Harry Reid isn't running for President, and because the Democratic party doesn't claim an affiliation with christianity, although their ideals line up much closer to Christ's own.

Hmm, I wasn't aware Hairy the Body Reed was a Mormon. Very interesting. It's basically a Lib Media bias, and the desire to blow things out of proportion.

It certainly should be considered for both men. But again, those who are concerned the most about Mormonism are Conservative Evangelicals. And from my vantage point, I think they have every right to be concerned.

When you say "people" I think you mean the Lib media and far left loons.
You are 100% right.

It is the extreme right-wing loons who are screeching about Romney's choice of koolaid.
Liberals realize that a religious nut is a religious nut, regardless of their koolaid brand.
