Nowhere in my post was I defending Mr. Romney as being a conservative - I was merely disagreeing with your assertion that members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day saints were all moderates and weaklings. I don't live in Utah, never been to Salt Lake, so I don't know what thier culture of politics is in that particular area. However, I have lived in California, Nevada, Idaho and Arizona, and I can tell you emphatically that most members in those areas vote in as big conservative blocks as thier numbers allow.
As for conservatism being subjective, I suppose I could use the same argument to question your conservatism. Because you don't know me, I don't expect you to know that I am a rabid conservative grassroots activist here in Nevada and have been a featured speaker at several conservative venues as well as have been interviewed by conservative media. Everyone who knows me would think it laughable to say I am anything but a conservative. (I practically channel Ann Coulter for goodness sakes!)
I totally respect that you don't like Mitt Romney - that is certainly your perogative. I have no choice but to accept that you have issues with the LDS church - that is also your perogative. However, I wanted to set the record straight specifically about the generalized attack on a group of people who love this country and are fighting to protect its ideals. Above all, I wanted to point out that we were on the same side.
I was just merely stating my position after having seen him operate, and watched the church in action as well. My experience with the members of the church comes directly with at one time being a member of the same church. My opinion, my assertion - they are weak, they are moderates, and if what they say is true will crumble like match sticks under the emotional load, because the leadership of the church - moderates will succumb to liberalism to a degree you have not seen.
there are Bishops in wards and Stake Presidents calling for complete turning the other cheek when it comes to an attack on this country. This tells me they will hord food, and do nothing for their fellow man except wait for Moroni's trumpet to blow.
