Perhaps you made that statement out of ignorance of the LDS, something that is common among today's Christians, or perhaps you are another of those Modern American Oprah “all paths are valid” Christians who will do anything to not offend even the enemies of Christ himself, I do not know.
As far as politics beck is often correct if not some times a little over the top.
But as a General rule don't think the LDS will not forgo their own interest in the name of Conservatism. Remember they pushed Romney as the Conservative messiah despite the evidence to the contrary.
You accuse people of eating their own. Perhaps, perhaps not, but on the final day of our Earthly life labels such as Republican or Democrat, Conservative or liberal will matter little. What you did and how you stood for Christ, well that is the question that transcends nations and politics.
That we as a nation have become so weak kneed in our defense of Christianity, that we have confused tolerance with equity, goes a long way in answering the very problems you seek redress for through your political efforts.
The spiritual war that rages above also rages here.
