There is or was a big Mormon mafia on FR. You got kicked if you didn’t support mittens “the magic underwear” for his president run. Could have been here for 10 years but if the 2007/2008 war on mittens you got booted. I believe that is when FR lost lots of its activism and intelligence.
Most Mormons, including those in FR, do NOT support Mitt, or Flake, or Dingy Harry. The vast majority of Mormons are conservative and don not fall in line with just because someone is Mormon.
