A Hangout for Utahns & Those Interested in Utah Opinions
Being LDS and politically active I frequently field questions from colleagues about where Mormons stand on certain issues. More exact, I frequently hear remarks from these colleagues indicating “Mormons vote as a block” or “Mormons are all Republicans.” Rather than being defensive about my religious beliefs, I normally present the argument that the LDS Church endorses […]
The Salt Lake Tribune is reporting Utah’s new Senate President is West Jordan’s Michael Waddoups. This leadership change could prove a good thing for Utah! A new Majority Leader was selected, too, Sheldon Killpack. Congratulations to both.
I am honored to have participated so heavily in the Jason Chaffetz campaign since February. As of now, with over 94% of the precincts reporting, Jason has collected 64.8% of the vote. Congratulations Congressman-elect! I look forward to seeing your voice in Congress!
In legislative district 42 (in my hometown), Jim Bird sweeps with 66.6% of the vote. Congratulations Jim. Your efforts have been noticed and we appreciate you!

West Valley City’s Lions Club sponsored a debate this evening between Utah’s 3rd Congressional District candidates, Jason Chaffetz, Jim Noorlander, and Bennion Spencer. I made time to attend. By the time I left at 7:40 (for other obligations) Bennion Spencer had not even made the time to arrive. Regardless, Spencer had requested someone represent him […]
I received an email a couple hours ago from The Heritage Foundation. Apparently the Obama campaign released a 30-second television advertisement with false information and then repeated the information on their website. The “information” is that the Obama campaign wrongly suggests The Heritage Foundation supports Obama’s tax plan and is purposefully misleading voters. An attorney from […]
Another one of us for Utah, Ladies Logic! Welcome to the blogroll.
I was disgusted today upon reading the Salt Lake Tribune’s endorsement of Bennion Spencer for Congressman in Utah’s 3rd Congressional District. Most of us believe newspapers are supposed to reflect integrity in its journalistic point of view, or um, I mean actually telling the truth. Their endorsement is nothing short of distored truths (and lies). Let me provide some examples:
The editorial […]
Fox News’ entire interview with Jason Chaffetz was released online. About two-thirds of the interview was issue-based…. excellent is the way I describe it. The last third was much lighter. Here were some highlights that demonstrated to me the “human” side of Jason:
Last Book Read: The Last Lecture
Light Quotes from the Interview: Jason Chaffetz: “I see […]
