So, you can see why most of us aren't Democrats! ;-)

One of your most famous apologists was. As his obituary read in the Salt Lake Tribune,

"A die-hard Democrat in conservative Utah County, he spoke out on controversial and unpopular topics like the futility of loyalty oaths in the midst of the McCarthy hearings and the Vietnam War."

I did say most. Heck, Harry Reed is Mormon. Ug! Besides, Hugh Nibley was “your father’s kind of Democrat.” Today’s Democrat is a very different beast. Today’s Democrat movers and shakers consider Old Democrats to be right-wing extremists. As Ronald Reagan said “I didn’t leave the Democratic Party. They left me.” There are a lot of Democrats out there right now who feel the same way.

Utah was the only state where Bill Clinton in came in 3rd place. While you will find a few Democrat LDS, it's rare.

Harry Reid is a piece of work!
