“Probably the democrats trying to stir the sh_t on our side to keep us fighting amongst ourselves. It smells like either Hillary or Howard Dean, IMO. They probably contracted with MoveOn or another Soros-funded group.”

IMHO... It was put out by a Company run by Romney supporter Mormons. My best guess is they did it for free. With/without the knowledge of the Romney campaign. I’m betting that it was with!

That’s charming! Thanks for posting it.

It’s very sad that people are getting so upset and hostile.

My point was that there has been plenty of people in this political season who have been trying to use Romney's religion against him using methods that are equally disgusting, many of whom are Frednecks who post here on FreeRepublic.

As to any names of people making such accusations, I don't even have to go looking. Check out response #22 from Beagle8U on your own thread.

What exactly is wrong with post #22, and where does it disparage Mormons in any way?

It was a Mormon firm (its based in UT so it has to be Mormon)...They probably did it for free. Because hey, everyone knows them Mormons stick together!

Everyone else who has seen this story has been upset about the rank bigotry it clearly represents and just how poorly it will reflect on the Republican party but you and a handful of Freepers here seem to be far more concerned about trying to link this back to the Romney campaign in order to score political points. I imagine that's a tacit admission that this push polling was, in fact, bigotry so at least that's a step in the right direction given what has been posted on FR about Romney's religion. But your seemingly desperate need to connect this admittedly bigoted attack to the campaign victimized by it, based on no particular evidence, is, to say the least, unfortunate.

"...handful of Freepers here seem to be far more concerned about trying to link this back to the Romney campaign in order to score political points..."

And you, as a 'charter member of the Romney FR resistance', seem equally far more concerned about disparaging Freepers than waiting to see how all of this eventually comes out.

I suspect it was a Romney supporter, trying to ‘help.’

Sorry but it was a Mormon owned company, who certianly have Mormon employees, there is something wrong it they think it appropriate to do that poll. In the end my guess is they agreed to do it, hoping it would help Romney.

And its not just some Freepers who see the possibity of a rogue supporter.

Go read Liz Mair, Politico, eyeon08.com, and others. I would be very surprised if Romney knew of this before the fact.

Check your facts Skippy!

Is or is not the founder of that company Mormon?

How many of those that control the company have been donating to the Romney campaign?

The company is full of Romney supporters that have been donating large sums to his campaign.

I stand by my post based on all the facts that have been posted here since this story broke.

Just mentioning that someone is Mormon is no more of an attack on the Religion than mentioning that Mike Huckabee is Baptist!

Yes, if you even print the word Mormon you are a bigot. Never mind that it may be part of what is being discussed.

It appears we don't have to try and link anything. These folks are going to do it for us.

You know what is odd, you guys wear Mitts Mormonism like a badge when you need it and an anchor when it is turned against you in any form or fashion, real or not.

More often the word Mormon is brought up by you and other Mitt Supporters than anyone else.

Mitt has more than enough problems for those in the Conservative movement, we don't need the Mormonism bit.

I don’t know for sure but this is really bizarre.

A few months ago, I had the oddest call from someone who identified himself as being from the Romney campaign, who purported to be seeking my support for Governor Romney in the primaries.

However, this individual was the rudest individual that I have spoken with over the years when dealing with politics; he certainly was a poor representative if he was really from the Romney camp. My guess is that he wasn't really a Romney supporter, and that his rudeness was supposed to make me think unfavorably of Governor Romney.

"many of whom are Frednecks who post here on FreeRepublic"

Met a guy at the Thompson rally with a bumpersticker that said "Frednecks for Thompson"! You might want to find another word to use when trying to insult FDT supporters.
