The issue for me is NOT Mormons -- my issue is a Rockefeller Republican and son who just happen to be Mormons which matters not one whit vis-a-vis my issue.
The issue for me AGAIN! is the joy that it brings to me that the son of a Rockefeller Republican is being put through what his father helped put tens of millions of American through fifty years ago -- and yes IT STILL MATTERS TO ME, thank you.
.. plus, we Goldwater supporters will put America first and not try to sabotage the ticket and help the Dems.
I understand. For me it is a “Protecting children from the sex trade” as well as “Law and Order” issue with the Utah GOP. We’re not talking about 200 years ago, or even a 100 years ago. We’re talking in the last decade. The State of Utah, which is controlled at all levels by the GOP, gave a pass to a man who audiotaped himself raping 12-year-old children in the name of Jesus.
In any other red state (like Texas), in any swing state, and even in the majority of blue states, Warren Steed Jeffs would have faced justice a long time ago. However, the State of Utah, under heavy Republican control, refused to get involved when the perpetrator was the head of the largest Mormon fundamentalist sect located in the state.
To me this is proof that the Utah GOP do not share my values.
