    This poll might as well read, "Are you a conservative or a liberal?"

      One has been elected by the people and has been given a sacred trust to honestly and competently represent the interest of his state and country and the other one hasn't.

          That could be either person depending on who you ask
          "Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf

            That would be fun if you had to elect TV/radio personalities. Frankly, I don't think either are "embarrassing to Mormons".

              It's interesting to consider that probably far more Americans know Glen Beck and know that he is a Mormon than know who Harry Reid is and that he is LDS.

                Where's the option for DDD? I would consider him a public figure given is saturation level on the internet.

                      The way I read the question it asks who "is" the most embarassing not who "should be considered" the most embarassing.

                      What is, is and Beck is.

                        I am excited for DDD vs. Levin that seems to be brewing. If I miss the main event someone please PM me the thread link. Thanks.

                          I'm more conservative than not, but Glen Beck's asshatery far exceeds Harry Reid's. Hell, Glen Beck even got made fun of on South Park last night.

                          Harry Reid's job is to shill for the democratic party's interests in the Senate and to try to push through legislation which reflects that. Beck's job apparently includes acting like a weirdo on TV and spouting off conspiracy theories.
                          Part of it is based on academic grounds. Among major conferences, the Pac-10 is the best academically, largely because of Stanford, Cal and UCLA. “Colorado is on a par with Oregon,” he said. “Utah isn’t even in the picture.”

                            Lol... I saw the episode (and every single one before it). If you decide who is embarrassing based on who South Park parodies, well... your list is pretty long.

                              The writers on the Daily Show and Stephen Colbert have become fat and lazy because of all the low hanging fruit provided by Glen Beck being Glen Beck.

                              What Harry Reid does probably pisses off half of the country. Pissing people off is not the same thing as embarassing yourself. Acting weird and providing countless lol youtube clips is embarassing yourself.
