  • Sorry Jeff Bell

    I want to pass along regret to a fellow Utah blogger out there… Jeff Bell. I was rooting for him to win his campaign run for Utah Democratic Party Chair. Although I disagree with about 80% of what he says, well more like 90% of what he says (cough), I appreciate [...]

  • West Jordan Headline from the Past

    Just shy of four years ago on November 9th, 2005, the Deseret News announced, “West Jordan voters narrowly opt for Newton for as their new mayor.” Our city’s current mayor, David Newton, had won by a mere 264 votes. The article quotes Mayor Newton saying, I’m going to work hard to make sure I represent [...]

  • The Root of it All? The Subprimes

    I have been reading a lot lately about the cause of our nation’s current economic turmoils. While searching I came across a couple very interesting articles. First of all, an article entitled, Fannie Mae Eases Credit to Aid Mortgage Lending. This is no big deal until you get to the [...]

  • Texas School District Issuing Fake Social Security Numbers

    An associate sent me a link that disgusts me. Assuming the author (Tawnell D. Hobbs) is writing an unbiased article, apparently the Dallas Independent School District is issuing fake Social Security numbers to illegal aliens (some of them already in use by real citizens) in order to put them on [...]

  • Appreciation Expressed by John Mark Reynolds

    I had a friend send along a link to an interesting story by John Mark Reynolds entitled, “California and Thank-A-Mormon Day.” Just by the title you know it is regarding California’s Proposition 8. It is difficult to find such positive reinforcement out there in the liberal blogosphere, so thanks Mr. Reynolds! [...]

  • Republicans Lose a Senate Seat Due to Constitution Party

    Two-term U.S. Senator Gordon Smith (R-Oregon) lost his seat due to the Constitution Party drawing conservative votes away to their own party candidate. Here are the unofficial final results: Jeff Merkley (Democrat) … 48.8% Gordon Smith (Republican) … 45.7% Dave Brownlow (Constitution) … 5.2% The Constitution Party’s National Chairman, James Clymer, brazenly declared It’s good news [...]

  • Mormons in Congress, an Interesting Review

    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 [...]

    The Deseret News/KSL-TV election poll results are out. Polls were taken from 24-30 October of only regsitered voters.

    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 [...]

  • Obama Campaign Releasing Misleading Advertisements

    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 [...]

  • Jason Chaffetz is the One

    I was disgusted today upon reading the Salt Lake Tribune’s endorsement of Bennion Spencer for Congressman in Utah’s 3rd Congressional District. I actually thought newspapers were about journalism, um, I mean actually telling the truth. Their endorsement is nothing short of distored truths (and lies). Let me provide some examples: The editorial board wrongly [...]

  • Fox News Interview with Jason Chaffetz

    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 [...]

    I just finished watching the Chaffetz/Spencer debate. Jason is so prepared for Congress, it is simply magical. Answers just rolled out without pause, almost as if he had a cue card or teleprompter. The most comical part, when I practically fell out of my chair, was when Spencer interrupted the [...]

    Only 12 days to go to election day. I find it amusing to see the hordes of folks nationwide getting out to vote, the electricity is fascinating! In reviewing the economic condition in which we find ourselves today, I further respect Jason Chaffetz’ call to Congress to become fiscally responsible. Neither the [...]

  • What is a Flip-Flop?

    I am tired of hearing politicians (McCain, Obama, others) using the phrase “flip-flop.” The phrase is used all too often by the mainstream media to simply express a change of opinion. A flip-flop is not just a change of opinion! Rather, a flip-flop is changing your mind and then changing back to your [...]

  • The American Dollar Regaining Strength

    I wrote on this topic a while back, but wanted to bring it up again. Notwithstanding the woes on Wall Street, the American Dollar is again finding its foothold. Sure, it might be due to the fact that worldwide economies are slipping themselves, thereby elevating America’s stance among them. Regardless, we [...]

  • Chaffetz Equals Fiscal Responsibility

    When I first heard Jason Chaffetz speak (about 8 months ago), he promised his campaign finances would reflect the type of legislation he would support in Congress. The type of finances he was referring to was the fact that he would not go into debt. On the national level he [...]
