The country desperately needs a new and well-defined road map for the 21st century and leadership that can unite the country behind it.

We believe that Barack Obama can give us both.

This is such garbage, and I suspect you know it full well.

SLC proper, and especially the SL Tribune is not only extremely liberal, but is extremely anti Mormon as well. It is the complete opposite of the positions and values of the rest of the state.

Think Mayor Rocky Anderson. Need I say more?

Shaking my head... Romney didn’t win, give it a rest.

[sevenbak]

Dang, you’d think Mormon central USA would at least have conservative newspapers.

It does, but the Trib is the liberal thorn in the side of the state, and SLC it'self is about as liberal or more so than other metro areas in the country.

[dforest]

I am sure they really meant to say that is a simple choice for the simple minded.

[sevenbak]

Um, you do know that Utah is the only state where Bill Clinton came in third. SLC is an island of political insanity compared to the rest of the state.

[FFranco]

I’m sure glad we’re not a nation in decline.

I don’t think we’re in total decline yet, but if Obama takes power, that will be the end. We will need a strong leader to clean the filth out of our government once the citizens realize the disaster that Obama will be. With the right kind of leader and a purging of the traitors and Commies from our government and society, America will be able to once again become the Great Nation it is meant to be.

[Hildy]

This is a serious question...What’s New Zealand like?

[DoughtyOne]

I don’t really have a purge in mind. I think more along the lines of publicly asking why 90% of our university professors are leftists. If the universities were 90% conservative, would the left remain silent about it? We sure do.

We need to shine the light of day on some of this.

[greyfoxx39]

Has the tribune endorsed a democrat for president before?

[greyfoxx39]

Um, you do know that Utah is the only state where Bill Clinton came in third.

Are you willing to bet that the percentage of mormons who voted for Romney in the primary will vote for McCain/Palin? What was it...90% or so?

[B4Ranch]

Time to move comes when you are forced to read that crap.

[Arizona Carolyn]

That would be the Desert News.... who did they endorse?

[colorcountry]

Groan.............

[sevenbak]

Has the tribune endorsed a democrat for president before?

Uh, yeah, just about every single election in modern history? You seem to know so much about Utah and Mormons and yet know so little about the state and it's politics.

[sevenbak]

Mormons tend not to gamble, but yes, Utah will go to McCain / Palin by a huge margin, that is a bet I am certainly willing to make.

[silverleaf]

wtH is going on in Salt Lake?
I didn’t know people who drank 3.2 beer were so enamored of abortion and infanticide.

[greyfoxx39]

I’ve never claimed to know anything about Utah politics. Just mormon fallacies.

[sevenbak]

In that case, sorry to assume you knew.

As one of those silly Mormons with his fallacies, I hope I have been of help.

Cheers.

As usual. Thanks.
