Utah is lost to constitutional principles. It is a relief to find other like minded individuals that are not sold on the idea of supporting Gov. Herbert.

We should all stand for truth and right regardless of the consequences. Only a coward would advise messengers of truth to "tread carefully". b) foolishness- you assume that Connor is dependent on the state when you say that he's biting the hand that feeds him. If the principles of his posts don't already give you any indication that he's not dependent on government you'll learn a lot by reading up! He's not some helpless beggar waiting for the state to give him everything. He's attempting to do everyone a favor by smacking the hand that's robbing him (and us). c) ignorance- your 'freedom of speech' line doesn't even deserve a remark. Mark,

And, just like all political discourse, their stuff seems to attract mostly aloof trolls (such as yourself) and choir members. I wonder how many times we'll be fooled into electing people with corporate connections who pay lip service to corporate independence. These people only get riled up about financial responsibility when they're standing in front of a pulpit, and we fall for it every time. All of these dyslexic 9/12 protesters are just going to expand this effect, and encourage partisan bickering and ignorance over real, held beliefs.

I had almost relaxed--so glad to be rid of Mr. Huntsman Jr. and thinking finally we had someone on the right track to govern the state. I am shaking my head in disappointment. I agree that it would be a triumphant day if our state said "No" to federal bailout money. I didn’t even hear about this, so thanks from me for bringing it to light.

It appears that you are biting the hand that feeds you. We do have freedom of speech in my state but I dont think you have it in Utah. Any thing you say can and will be used against you.
