Readers consider Rocky
Richard G. Smurthwaite
Bountiful
As a disabled veteran, I was ashamed at the conduct of my fellow Utahns in their treatment of our president.
Kevin Foster
Clinton
I just returned from the anti-Bush and war protest at Pioneer Park. What a powerful and humbling experience to feel the tears of the mothers as they spoke of their dead sons who had unnecessarily died in a very unjust war.
Alan Cunningham
American Fork
Rocky Anderson is doing a better job of undermining the faith of people than the terrorists.
Scott Layton
Salt Lake City
Good for Rocky Anderson. He has reminded us that the donkey is the symbol of the liberal Democrats. And evidently they've been dieting on loco weed again.
Jay Barney
Richfield
Unfortunately, President Bush — the man calling the shots — would view a pullout of Iraq as political flip-flopping and his ego would not allow such a change in policy.
Dennis Kostecki
Holladay
Pebbles — I mean "Rocky" — is at it again. Someone wrote "Rocky for President." It should read "Rocky for Rocky."
John Sweeney
Sandy
Mr. Mayor, please stop and think. When was the last time a raucous protest solved anything?
Jared Price
Salt Lake City
President Bush calls it spreading freedom, yet he ignores the calls of his people. He believes in eradicating the disease outside, while the body calls for help and attention.
Jonathan Darrah
Salt Lake City
The Veterans of Foreign Wars have held their conferences in Salt Lake City for the last 10 years. No more. This revenue is gone.
Paul Keil
Taylorsville
Rocky did what President Hinckley advises in his book. He stood for something.
Derrek Wright
Salt Lake City
Enough is enough. Rocky is better suited for San Francisco or Chicago.
Dean Stewart
Hyrum
Whenever I see a local politico making noise about a matter of national import, I wonder what's happening locally that he doesn't want us to see.
Ronald L. Dunn
North Salt Lake
You think you're voting for Rocky, and instead you get Bulwinkle.
Phillip Robinson
Orem
Congressman Matheson had the common courtesy to honor the presidential office, even if he doesn't agree with the president on many issues.
Paul A. Hanks
Salt Lake City
I didn't think Rocky could humiliate our beautiful Salt Lake City any more than he already has. I was obviously wrong.
Laurie Strasser
