Most of the members I know are conservative. Unfortunately, most also connect conservatism to the Republican party. However, the Republicans are no longer conservative.
Actually, most LDS can be considered classically liberal, rather than conservative. Since the modern liberals are actually socialist by definition, and Republicans are progressive (almost socialist) the classic liberals and conservatives find their only national representation in the less socialist Republicans.
Most of the very politically aware Mormons that I know are very disgusted with the Republican party, although not as much as the Democrats. They see both parties giving homage to the international socialist movement and working in different ways to turn the US over to international socialism.
In my opinion, both parties, along with the Greens, Libertarians, and all other left-leaning political parties and groups are aligned with the international "secret combinations" that the Book of Mormon teaches us about.
I agree with much of what you have said nighthawk. I am a member of the Republican party, only because I think that political change can only work through the two party system, and that party more closely reflects my views (though I find myself on a much more conservative vein then the modern day Republicans and quite frustrated with their leftward leanings).
I would love to be part of a party that reflects my Conservative, Libertarian, Religious point of view, but unfortunately there is not a Party with any significant power to make any real changes (Except for the Democrats or Republicans).

Comments: What's to say that such groups have not established themselves within the church too for whatever gain. It was done in the Book of Mormon when the people of the church then became full of pride and stiff necked so it could just as easily happen now.

Comments: This whole terrorism thing is nothing more than a smoke and mirrors campaign inspired by the communists. Most specifically the Russians and big industrialists who subscribe to their totalitarian ideals.
They have different approaches to solving a common problem.... How to enslave the masses.
It's very nature of being hard to seek out and destroy, is for the purpose of draining our economy and demoralizing our efforts to make it stop.
Let me tell you when it will come to a grinding halt.
When we have been reduced as a nation to poverty and political waste. Then the Russians will simply nuke us.
The Arabs are dupes in a game of chess in which we envision ourselves as the white players and communist as the black players.
The communist have been and are wining this match from a worldly perspective while Americans are busily attempting to stomp out the fires of terrorism around the world that were caused by the soviets.
America is too preoccupied with the Arab threat to realize it's not the fire we should concern ourselves with but rather the people who started it. An it's not Bin Laden or Saddam or any of those guys.
They are manipulated dupes.
The brush fires of terrorism is the cover for an all consuming fire to be launched by the soviets.
WW3 has not begun with 911. 911 is a precursory conflict designed to weaken us for attack. An attack that will fulfill the communist promise to dominate the world.
We as a nation are absolutely blinded by our inabilty to recognize the real source of plague for our nation...Us.
The soviets can only gain control and advantage through our own Godless immoral ways that they inspired us to peruse, as people from all over the world began coming to this country who have adopted socialist communist philosophies or oriental mysticism.
All of which run contrary to what the Lord had in mind for this Promised Land.
Liberalism or conservatism are both two separate parties lying in the same bed of deceit.
The end and new beginning of our nation is only a few years away.
Putin has his plan & God has his. And a majority of Americans won't be around to witness the founding of the Lord's Kingdom.
And that includes the majority of the Lord's covenant people who fall in the category of the average American citizen.

Comments: Byran, LDS Forever is 100% right. You need to get this Republican so called conservative non sense out of your head.
Both parties are parties of men and scheduled for the Lord's chopping block with all other parties and governments of men.
Haven't you been reading the scriptures concerning these things?
Both parties are part of the same track leading us to hell. They each occupy a different rail but are linked with "ties"
They are both taking us to the same destination but on two separate and competitive rails.
This is why the Lord at some point, will intervene and establish His Kingdom as a place of refuge from all this madness.
The Devil is in their details and they are both on his payroll.
Wake up Bro! Bush & Obama are complimentary anti Christs for our nation that make up the bookends containing the final efforts to destroy our nation.
Each seeking his own brand of philosophy and the competitive edge to win.
They are both unsuspecting dupes of Satan. Maybe Obama is not so much being duped, as he is vying for the top job with eyes wide open.
Bush is just a good hearted idiot, while Obama has a black hearted soul.
