For 80 years, the Deseret News has not entered into the troubled waters of presidential endorsement. We are neutral on matters of partisan politics. We do, however, feel a duty to speak clearly on issues that affect the well-being and morals of the nation.

The belief that the party and the platform matter more than the character of the candidate ignores the wisdom of the ages that, "when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn." (Proverbs 29:2)

I think this applies to individuals; not the organization as a whole.
There'd be MANY Mormons that would not see the FACTS that their chosen religious organization has failed to advertise, if I stopped my little crusade to get the truth out.
Hey!
I did MY part!
Beats an overt Mormon!
No; but Casper got my thumb pretty good the other day!
After giving the three a leftover, crème filled donut, I had a dollop of filling on my thumb. I offered it to the big guy and he must have thought it was pastry; too!
I’m glad they don’t have front teeth on top!

C’thulhu stories are more entertaining than Kolob stories.
IMO.
YMMV.
This is the way they are esp in Utah. No wonder there is such a high rate of depression and Rx drug abuse.
