What will the left say about this?

They will say nothing. Just as they rail against the Koch bros and say zip, nada, zero, nothing about soros. Mitt is also a Mormon. So is Reid, but it's bad for Mitt to be a Mormon, but OK for Dirty Harry.
It was not Romney's riches, per se, that were objectionable; it was the vulture capitalism that produced them

Reid's vulture capitalism is OK.
Harry Reid's Father Was So Ashamed Of His Son
This troubling tale has haunted Harry Reid through the shadowy years he ran the Nevada Gaming Commission, through his public embarrassment over the Los Angeles Times investigation into his son and son-in-law's Washington lobbying activities,the ethics investigation into the free tickets Reid happily accepted to boxing matches and the successful land development deal that ended up netting Reid $1 million when he sold it, in an amazing coincidence, to a friend and it became a shopping center.
And through all these years, Harry Reid has never bothered to deny that awful early story. Just as he's never denied any early involvement with left-wing South American political parties and an unsuccessful 1964 bid to become a Goldwater Girl.
Anyway, the Senate leader is now employing one of the oldest tricks in the political book, one that seems to have become a standard tactic for terrified Democrats this cycle.
Reid told reporters the other day that Republican Mitt Romney, who's threatening the political futures of many comfy folks in Washington now, has not paid income taxes for the last decade. Reid repeated the charge of this felony on the Senate floor Thursday. The Romney camp vehemently denies it.
Now, Harry says he's in possession of this information because an old business crony of Romney's, whom Reid won't name, made that statement in a phone conversation that Reid won't document. In fact, Reid has no proof whatsoever that what the unidentified caller allegedly said in that unverified conversation containing the unsubstantiated claim has any merit at all.
Reid's father was so embarrassed about what his son would do someday that he killed himself at age 58.
Romney's Father. A must read. Romney's family worked for what they got, reid robbed people. His family is still robbing people.
Romney supported the American Civil Rights Movement while governor.[122] Although he belonged to a church that did not allow black people in its lay clergy, Romney's hardscrabble background and subsequent life experiences led him to support the movement.[19] He reflected, "It was only after I got to Detroit that I got to know Negroes and began to be able to evaluate them and I began to recognize that some Negroes are better and more capable than lots of whites."[96] During his first State of the State address in January 1963, Romney declared that "Michigan's most urgent human rights problem is racial discrimination—in housing, public accommodations, education, administration of justice, and employment."[123] Romney helped create the state's first civil rights commission.[124]
When Martin Luther King, Jr. came to Detroit in June 1963 and led the 120,000-strong[126] Great March on Detroit, Romney designated the occasion Freedom March Day in Michigan, and sent state senator Stanley Thayer to march with King as his emissary, but did not attend himself because it was on Sunday.[122][127][128] Romney did participate in a much smaller march protesting housing discrimination the following Saturday in Grosse Pointe, after King had left.[122][125][126] Romney's advocacy of civil rights brought him criticism from some in his own church;[97] in January 1964, Quorum of the Twelve Apostles member Delbert L. Stapley wrote him that a proposed civil rights bill was "vicious legislation" and telling him that "the Lord had placed the curse upon the Negro" and men should not seek its removal.[35][129] Romney refused to change his position and increased his efforts towards civil rights.[35][129] Regarding the church policy itself, Romney was among those liberal Mormons who hoped the church leadership would revise the theological interpretation that underlay it,[130] but Romney did not believe in publicly criticizing the church, subsequently saying that fellow Mormon Stewart Udall's 1967 published denunciation of the policy "cannot serve any useful religious purpose".[131][132]

Not quite, the red neck mentality wasn't going to vote for a Mormon.

Uh, Best, it was Mitt Romney, not his respectable father,and not Harry Reid, who was the subject of my post. You are an incorrigible irrelevancy!

Condie, we went over this before during the elections. Romney was not a vulture capitalist. You demonstrated you did not know what one was. Romney had successes in turning around companies -- vultures don't even try -- they are smash and grab. Romney was a turn around specialist.
