Comments about ‘Web sites dish dirt on Curtis, Seegmiller’

Seegmiller's positions have been exposed so now he lies.

Article, "I don't want to legalize marijuana" says Seegmiller (2008)

Candidate survey he was asked to "Indicate which principles you support" He checked the box next to the sentence "Allow doctors to prescribe marijuana to their patients for medicinal purposes."

Seems like a fairly clear contradiction here.

How incredibly unethical! How can politicians stoop so low? I cannot believe that we will actually elect these crooks! Is your integrity worth winning the office, boys?

A pox on both of them.
Utah deserves better than either of these hacks.

I didn't say that....I was just thinking of a friend, they are picking on me - they lack ethics. Yet another attempt by the Democrats to sling mud, run, hide and then play victim. Isn't that just another attempt to reform things like Phil Reisen did, oh wait - the demos blocked that from being heard because he was a victim too.

Yea, that poor lonely minority party is just so picked on by the unethical.

Give Jay credit.

He answered the survey like a true liberal Democrat. Nothing hidden.

He's for same-sex unions, legalizing marijuana, higher taxes, and public funding of abortion.

That takes true grit to say what you believe in the reddest state in the nation. May not be the best move to get elected but true grit it is.

I've sent mail beating the living tar out of Greg Curtis for three straight elections but not that he is exposing my positions I'm going to run and whine.

Poor little martyr boy.

Curtis is crooked, and who knows if Seegmiller is any better. Do we vote for change or do we vote for the same old crooks? Sounds similar to another election.

This is the same reason the Democratic party tells their candidates not to fill out these surveys. So they can parade around as conservatives.

I know Jay personally and know his views on abortion, same sex marriage, and illegal drug use have been misrepresented by the Republican party. Curtis knows this too. Yet they continue to advertise this falsified information.

I am amazed the Republican Party would stoop to these tactics. I would hope Greg Curtis is not a part of this.

so mabey jay is not perfect but at least he has not tried to pay anybody off,i think jay is being hammered on these topics wich are false and the rep. party knows where jay stands on these issues and they are not true i just wish everybody could see things for what thay are and not what is being made up to make him look bad just to pick up those extra votes once again we se ethics being thrown out the window thanks again greg

Looks like Seegmiller is getting cooked in his own juices. Gay marriage. Abortion. Pot smoking. No wonder Curtis still wins re-election after re-election.

I just can't believe this is what we are arguing about just 12 days before the election. The Republican party can no longer rest on their merits so they have to create lies. Jay Seegmiller is a good man that has time and again said that he is anti abortion. Where the heck did this Marijana thing come from? How ridiculous. Curtis has proved time and again that he is not worthy to run the Legislature and has used his office for political gain. Now that it looks like he is going to be beat he has no choice but to start these lies that can not be defended before the election. This is the same tactic that was used years ago in Sen. Niederhauser's race to railroad his opponent. Throw out accusations that can't not be proven and throw them out late so that people can not prove them wrong. These are the people we want running our state? I think not. Forget about republicans and Democrats lets vote for American's and this is not American.

We need to hold the Republicans accountable for trying to paint good honest Mormon Democrat as a liberal pot smoking, gay marriage, abortion loving liberal. I know Jay Seegmiller and he is a good honest man. I have been at most of the debates and he has continually stated that he does not support gay marriage, abortion, and smoking marijuana. This Evans guy needs to be fired as the head of the GOP Leadership in Salt Lake County. I hope Greg Curtis did not have anything to do with this. The shady deals and special interest monies that Curtis has been involved with should be fair game to debate but trying to paint Seegmiller as a socialist is just immoral. We need to hold our own ethics committee at the ballot box and send Curtis, Hughes, Waker, and Buttars packing. Vote Democratic and save Utah.

On one of his radio appearances, Seegmiller admitted that he believes that government run health care is a possible solution. And that he wants to mandate that all people buy health insurance.

He also admitted that he opposed the constitutional amendment on marriage.

He also admitted that he opposed the school district split.

So you don't have to listen to the republicans to find out that Seegmiller is a closet liberal, listen to his own words, he has the interview linked to his website.

Seegmiller is counting on us being too lazy to check out what he really believes.

Seegmiller is in, Curtis is out.

Seegmiller says he is pro-life? Rubbish. The Democratic Party WILL NOT give their nomination to someone who does not uphold their values. And with each candidate, the party bosses ask the explicit question about their support for abortion. If they do not support abortion rights as cherished by the party leadership, there is no nomination. I know, I once ran as a D and each of us was asked that question. I was so disgusted with the back-room deals that I stopped associating with the Democratic Party. Seegmiller is not being fully honest with the voters of our district regarding abortion.

does anyone really believe that seegmiller forgot or just skipped over the abortion question by accident? that is just hard to believe and no one should.

Sales tax off food; CHIPS (Childrens Health Insurance Program); tough animal cruelty law; and record funding for public education - this is the record of Greg Curtis. Absent his leadership, and as evidenced by many failed attempts to have the sales tax removed from food, this would never have happened. Without offense to Seegmiller, or his party, the facts are that he can propose all of the progessive legislation he wants but it will not be passed. If in fact he and his party had the ability to do anything, can you imagine the tax increases to meet their promises to UEA? Seegmiller is likely a good person but his progressive positions are so far to the left that he will find himself isolated and without influence in the legislature.

Simple:

A vote for a freshman minority party candidate vs the speaker of the house...

I guess you can vote for a can-do-nothing representative or someone with a track record for getting stuff on the agenda and passed.

Do you want your representative to be able to get something accomplished or not? Depending upon your answer, choice is EASY.

I don't like everything the Curtis has done, but I'd much rather have all the good things he has ACCOMPLISHED rather than a minority party candidate unable to push the most vanilla flavored legislation...!
