Mormons: The Most Conservative Religious Group In America

That's according to a new report from Pew, released today and based on data from the group's 2007 U.S. Religious Landscape Survey.

More Mormons (60 percent) identify themselves as conservatives than any other religious group; they also lead every other group in GOP party identification (at 65 percent)--much higher than the general population in both categories

Could very well be, but just like any other group of people there are some Mormons who are socialists, abortionists, gun grabbers, etc.

Oh, c’mon now. You know that Mitt Romney no longer believes in abortion or gun control. That’s all behind him. He gave all that stuff up when he decided to run for the presidency. Well, he gave it all up except for his love of socialism and forcing big government health care programs on people who don’t want them.

And the homosexual lobby knows it and that is why they are targeting Mormom temples to have their “kiss ins” just to irk LDS people. Proble is, evangelicals who should be voicing unity with the LDS on the gay marriage issue and all seem not to care — yet what message does that send to their members who will gain respect for Mormons for standing their ground?

Careful, Clinton is a Baptist and Obama claims to be a Protestant Christian.

ROTFLMAO

The evangelicals are the ones leading the charge against mormons.

I was going to post in before the trashing of mitt/mormon hater in general - but I see I am late.

I often wonder how JFK would have faired in an Internet age. What with him being catholic and all- I think catholics come in second to mormons on the bashing tho.......

The other day we had a thread with the Baptists defending a lady who claimed that the world was 6000 years old. Little did they know that she was Mormon.

Ah, the old canard of being a hater of Mormons if you dislike Mitt because of his myriad of left-wing positions on the issues over the years and his changing his posistions whenever his political career deems it is necessary.

Just another slimy, disengenuous, and decietful statement by a small minority of Mormon posters who reside at FreeRepublic.

KInd of like many have no clue that Pat Buchanan’s sister is a Mormon but they love her articles anyway.

Hardly - I’m no fan of his politics, I AM offended when the trashing of mitt always seem to come with some slam at his religion.

I tend to look at what a person does, not their words. I get flamed all the rime for pointing out all the non-stuff sara palin has (not) done, for example.

So, if you don’t mind, keep your ducks to yourself.

Was the article about Mitt or the Mormon Church? Seems the anti-Mitt crowd saw fit to jump in real fast on this one.

I apoligie, I am justnot getting your point and several readings.

“Clinton is a ...” You spelled “rapist” wrong. It does not have a B and Obama does not need a religion, he IS the Messiah.
