LETTER: Paper needs balance

Editor,

The headline for Monday should have read “Vote Republican, we do!”

I don’t have a problem with the front page article. It was well written, the problem was the overall content of the paper. Three pictures of our fearless leader’s right-hand man made the paper. Now I know his pit stop here is a big deal, even though he probably spent more time in the restroom and buying jerky at the 7-Eleven, at least he stopped. But being the day before elections isn’t a partisan approach to the content of the paper more appropriate?

It is already a sin to be liberal in Utah so we need to keep our higher education institutions fair and free-minded. I have to wonder why anybody would vote Republican in Utah anyway. If the Bush administration got its wish we would be nothing but oil drills and nuclear waste dumps. Don’t think so. Bush would have all possible sites in U.S., including Utah, explored for oil and natural gas. His power plan for the U.S. includes 1,300 new nuclear power plants. Nevada has the money from the casinos to fight against the dumping of nuclear waste.

Utah, on the other hand, spends its money on the welfare theft of polygamist families we don’t want to talk about. So where will the waste go? Right in our backyards.

Next election try to be more balanced.
