&gt; Imagine a lobbyist for Big Pharma telling a politician that if they don't vote a certain way that the politician can still buy their meds ... it becomes patently obvious how ridiculous that statement is.

That's not a very strong analogy. This politician is a *member* of the advocacy group he's voting against. It's perfectly reasonable to reassure that person that there will not be any punitive action if they choose to vote contrary to that group's interests.

I can see how a person might view it as a threat if they *already* saw the Church as a sinister theocratic cabal, but there's nothing on the face of it to indicate that. As someone else mentioned, if the Church excommunicated legislators for their voting record, Harry Reid would have been out a long time ago.
