From Deseret News archives:

Ron Paul a true conservative

I have been intrigued to observe the support and attention Mitt Romney has received in Utah. I agree with others who have come to the assumption that Romney's support in Utah stems from his religion, which is shared by the majority of this paper's readers. However, I am of the firm opinion that Romney does not represent LDS beliefs. His desire to "double the size of Guantanamo" and use "extreme interrogation" tactics (Orwellian doublespeak for "torture") shows that he rejects the Just War Theory supported in LDS scripture. In addition, Romney has also flip-flopped on important moral issues such as abortion and gay marriage. While Romney's conservative voting record is a bit murky, there is one man who deserves the attention of all true conservatives: Ron Paul. I encourage readers to do their research and not vote for Romney simply because he's a Mormon.
