Can you imagine even *one* lone congressional Democrat giving this speech? Actually, a number of congressional Democrats have given very similar speeches. Conyers? Doubtful. Obama? Hell, Obama supports most of what Anderson is criticizing here. I gather Vaj is quite unfamiliar with the records and positions of either of these Democrats. The mayor's speech was terrific, more eloquent than most. But this... This is a program for taking back the country, if the Dems wanted to use it. But they'd rather side with Bush. Against the rest of us. ...is utterly absurd and smacks of Vaj having been thoroughly taken in by the favored storylines of the mainstream media (none of which, by the way, have seen fit to report on the mayor's speech).

Actually Salt Lake City is less than 30 percent minority. Several other Utah cities have a higher percentage. And elderly people are *less* likely to be liberal than younger people. The others try to get out to the suburbs, out of the city limits, to live and generally commute back and forth to work. I think this would be especially true of solidly republican states like Utah and Texas. Houston almost always has a Democratic Mayor.

Some of the Mormons I have known tend to be all over the place politically. I think because the Mormons were victims of persecution some of them tend to cast a critical eye towards what is going on in the world.

http://www.sltrib.com/utah/ci_3762929 Yes, SLC is quite liberal. Surrounding communities in SL county are more conservative -- with liberal outposts. I would guess places like Park City are liberal. As would be the mass armies of dope-smoking snow boarders :). To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!'
