Senate Majority Leader Killpack… A Bad Day
February 21st, 2009At yesterday’s press conference…
It was disheartening to hear Senate Majority Leader Killpack attempt to twice talk over and drown out
the only question that really mattered yesterday:
“What does the Senate President have to say to the gay community?”
I would love to also hear Majority Leader Killpack speak to how his party can allow the slander and mis- treatement of voters and taxpayers who have engaged the Senate in good faith.
Senate President Waddoups… A Bad Day… And A Respectful Request
February 21st, 2009The gay community and its supporters came to the Legislature this year in good faith.
As citizens, they presented, debated, and lost with respect and grace.
It was hard to watch such a respectful group of people slandered and maligned by Senator Buttars. But we expect such things from him.
It was harder to watch President Waddoups. After all, he is the President of The Senate. The place where they came as voters and taxpayers to seek redress.
Let Senator Buttars speak for himself. He does not need the Senate President.
The people of Utah need the Senate President.
President Waddoups, I respectfully ask that you publicly reassure Utah that as the President of the Utah Senate, you will not tolerate any Senator to slander or mis- treat those citizens who come before your body.
Senator Chris Buttars… A Bad Day
February 21st, 2009He says he has nothing to apologize for
and those who also believe that no gay has any morals… or that they are like radical “Moslems”
aggressively defend him.
But perhaps you don’t know what’s actually in the interview.
Perhaps you are unaware of the way Senator Buttars talked so flippantly… even boastfully… of punishing gays as Bishop.
Talking about their temple recommends…
Did you hear about that? No?
A Resolution To The Senator Buttars Scandal… Tomorrow?

The Utah Senate will tell us how they plan to deal with the Senator Buttars thing.
The Senator Chris Buttars Interview
February 18th, 2009None of us were present at the interview.
Senator Buttars claims he was given the authority to approve the content that featured him.
I don’t know how that changed the content of the interview. Had the promise not been made, would Senator Buttars have acted differently?
Who knows.
The true mystery to me is why Senator Buttars believes he would ever have veto power over the content of a documentary film.
That’s what blows my mind. Not so much that he asked for it. A lot of people request the privilege.
But the idea that he thinks he would actually get to approve the content…
Seriously. On what planet?
Find A Way To Dismiss It
February 11th, 2009“We knew he would do this”
“He’s never been a real Republican”
This is how nervous Utah Conservatives will sidestep the gay rights issue.
By dismissing Governor Huntsman.
Too bad.
