“And finally, if you all want to run a Mormon governor for president, try Huntsman - at least he’s conservative, rather than a Yankee liberal.”

I think you're missing the point. All us Mormons didn't run Romney for President: he ran himself, and some Mormons supported him, and some, myself included, were strongly against him.

I have a fairly large personal experience of Baptists, Catholics, Lutherans, several types of Muslims, and many much smaller groups of various religious denominations, Christian and otherwise, as well. I have never, ever, found a group that was homogeneous and numbered more than a few dozen. I know for a fact that there are some really poor examples of Baptists. Also, some really good ones, as well. The same is true of every other church, and every other religion. Some of the folks here on FR seem unaware of that.

Bell-Curve crowds, FRiend, that is what we're dealing with.

I know that if someone posted an anti-Romney statement, a bunch of Mormons would jump on them and accuse the poster of bigotry. I'm not anti-Mormon (although I don't agree with the theology), and I didn't see members of the LDS jump in to try to bring reason to the debate. I'm glad to see your post today, but it is a bit late.

Frankly, the radical response by some (not all - there are several Mormons that I never saw on those threads) of the LDS crowd has poisoned relations between Mormon conservatives and evangelical conservatives. And that is bad for FR, and for the country.
