What you have on FreeRepublic is a bunch of egomaniacs who believe they’re doing the Lord’s work by being anti-Romney and anti-Morman.

Yup, a lot of those type of people found a home here. I think because Romney was not the candidate most conservatives wanted, the anti-Mormon haters were given a lot of leeway. Their anti-LDS vitriol has spread all over the site now though, instead of just being confined to the religious forums. I really think it's driven a lot of mainstream conservatives away.

Fortunately, 90%+ of conservatives don't have these fringe anti-Mormon, anti-Romney positions. Most are going to vote for Mitt even though he is not their preferred candidate. The stakes are too high. Hussein must be defeated. The overwhelming majority of conservative voters understand this. The fringe Mormon bashers will make no political difference, though I do think they are hurting this website.

Almost but not quite. The latest survey I’ve seen puts the number at 87%.

You know Barry Goldwater was saying the same thing about black Republicans and Social Conservatives in 1964.

He lost in one of the great landslides ~ and against a man who was corrupt to the core!

Regarding “Mormon bashers” might we ask which bunch of Mormons it is who are legitimate and which ones are illegitimate? I’d hate to be bashing the phony ones and wasting my time (if I were bashing Mormons).

Yup!

And they were most ALL MORMONs; who could NOT hold their own in a religious discussion without getting UGLY.

Oh well; things like that happen when heresies like MORMONism get exposed.

FR loses (according to you)

Heaven gains (according to me).
