    No doubt that glbt folks must feel frustrated and I guess they feel put upon by those who don't see it their way. I don't think the LDS Church was much involved in the Maine vote that rejected same sex marriage by about the same margin that California and every other of the 30 plus states did, so Reid Cowan's premise seems more based in bigotry against his former church. It is likely a lost cause to think that lbgt folks will be accepted the way they hope, especially with the massive coming populist backlash against the liberal, socialist, marxist rising movement in America. I suspect the lbgt's will be swept away as the nation returns to its conservative roots. That said, nobody out treat another unkindly.

    A Rose by any other name is still a Rose. A Thorn by any other name is still a Thorn. As for the relationship between Taylor Oldroyd and Steve Turley, just remember what they said in Star Wars, where there is one there is always another. The question is which one is the apprentice?

    We are a nation of laws but someone has to interpret and apply the law. And this committee was the body who made that application. I just think it in terrible policy to allow the accused to influence through intimidation and abandoning the opportunity for a secret ballot. That eliminated the body's ability to really vote their conscience. It was not an unbiased committee. And it was not an uninfluenced committee.

    And, does anyone realize that Brian Chapman was Mayor Elect Curtis's campaign manager, and Corey Norman, Curtis's new chief of staff, is on the Ut Co. GOP Exec Board with Oldroyd? And C. Norman's wife is Turley's secretary? Pretty interesting circle of influence....

    An elected party official doesn't have to be guilty of breaking a law in order to be censured or removed. They only have to be guilty of malfeasance, misfeasance or nonfeasance. A very good case can be made that Oldroyd's stopcindy shenanigans fall under one or more of those descriptors.

    Western One AKA Kurt Petersen. When are you going to realize that Cindy lost. Because residents of her district got sick of her not listening to them. The same behavior that you show in your position as the Joaquin Neighborhood Chair.

    Folks, last time we checked, we are a nation of laws. Taylor Oldroyd didn't break any laws, or even rules. You can't throw someone out of power just because you don't like what they did. If you can get yourself elected as a county delegate in March 2010, then in approximately April 2011 you can vote on who the next Utah County Republican Chair will be. Instead of just throwing pot shots using anonymous names, I would encourage you to get involved and try to make a real difference. The first step would be to run to be a Utah County Republican Delegate at your neighborhood caucus meeting in March 2010.

    Have they gotten off? Hardly. Just ask their "friends and neighbors" what they think of them.

    This is exactly the reason many good people have walked away from active involvement with the Utah County Republican Party.(becoming a delegate etc) This is so sad and frightening.

    LDS doctrine at one time discriminated against blacks, and Native Americans. Should they have the right to continue those practices also?

    Amazing how all discord and rancor leads to Steve Turley. Can he do no good with his position? Is there not enough positive activities for him to focus on our city? Shame on him. Anytime he sees someone upset, he runs to them like a vulture to dead meat. Then he preys on their weakness, and anger and pushes them towards actions which he feels weaken his opposition. It is his pattern, repeated so many times, including in his recruitment of someone to run against Cindy Richards. Those who work with him in business, or in government learn very soon he cannot be trusted. If you are in that position--run for your life.

    If he got off--then the constitution and bylaws of the local republican party are truly at fault. Can we as a party not do better than this creep?

    We are in a time when the drive for power and money at all costs goes unchecked. Intentional deceit won out. Many of those that tried to correct the Taylor & Turley lies are now being targeted and accuse of miniscual offenses. If Sterling has a conscience he is hurting right now. Fear of Turley, Taylor and Chapman would also be growing. It is yet to be seen if he has been a pawn or is part of the corruption. If he starts telling what he knows we know he has been a pawn.

    I have to wonder if the vote would have been different had the committee members been allowed to cast secret ballots. Taylor Oldroyd appears to have intimidated his way out of this one.
