From the article: "...has created a healthy tension among Mormons who will be forced to look deeper into a candidate’s views.
The implication is that examining a candidate's view is to determine if they are bona fide conservative. I wonder how conservative Utah replublicans really are. I haven't lived in Utah for decades but much of my extended family is there. And they are not strictly conservative. But perhaps they are exceptions.
What if Utahans look deeper into a candidate's views to determine if they are more mainstream, practical, and, dare I type, liberal/progressive. Rather than strictly conservative.“Not the victory but the action. Not the goal but the game. In the deed the glory.”

Double LOL - two of the three bishops I clerked for were staunch democrats and as far as I know the other was apolitical.Originally posted by YOhio View Postlol. Beware the wolf in sheeps clothing

No offense to Robin, our resident Tea Partier, but while I am sympathetic with some of the goals of the Tea Party, it is quotes like this that make me wonder what some of the leaders of the movement are really after:
“On a good day, he’s a socialist,” said Darcy Van Orden, a co-founder of Utah Rising, a clearinghouse group, referring to Mr. Huntsman. “On a bad day, he’s a communist.”

Pity Mrs. Huntsman when her husband is having a bad day. Not only is he grumpy, but he also becomes a commie.Originally posted by Clark Addison View PostNo offense to Robin, our resident Tea Partier, but while I am sympathetic with some of the goals of the Tea Party, it is quotes like this that make me wonder what some of the leaders of the movement are really after:

LOL. Maybe we just need to "dig a little deeper on this Huntsman fellow and his red commie leanings. We can start by finding out where he's been living the past couple of years. What linguistic abilities he might possess...Originally posted by YOhio View PostPity Mrs. Huntsman when her husband is having a bad day.

We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf
