Comments about ‘Poll shows Salt Lakers most liberal of Utah cities and towns’

It looks like the LDS Church may need to move its headquarters to Texas since SLC has become one of the wicked cities of the world.

Really? SLC most liberal? Wow how much did that study cost? That is truly earth shattering!

I hope you didn't invest alot of money is this research, as it is so obvious that Salt Lake City is our most liberal city. Could you have pictured Rocky Anderson as mayor of any other city in the state? Still a great city with lots of great people.

I volunteer to help them move!

Bob Kjar,
Don't you see? Downtown rising is an LDS sponsored product meant to tip the downtown political balance back toward thier values.
2,000 new LDS voting residents.

Conspiracy theorists arise!

Nobody said SLC is a "wicked" city. Your political philosophy doesn't necessarily make you wicked.

Stop over-reacting and painting with such broad strokes.

Church members and even church headquarters can exist in a city dominated by liberal politics and go about their lives just fine. They do it all the time. There are Mormons in EVERY city in the world you know. And they don't just shrivel up and die or move to Texas.

Salt Lake City is turning into a liberal cesspool. I live in South Jordan and have zero reason to go into Salt Lake.

It's no coincidence, then, that it's also the best City in the State.....

Come on, right wing wackos, start your yelling!!!

It may be hard for Bob Bernick to believe, or maybe it makes him sad, but we don't actually wear labels in the city.

We're not jews in WWII Poland....

Let's make sure the Republican gerrymandering continues. Cut Salt Lake county in half and sure each half is linked w/ a good old conservative rural region. We can't have SL County having their own free thinking liberal representative in Congress. The world would surely end!

'Could you have pictured Rocky Anderson as mayor of any other city in the state? Still a great city with lots of great people.'

Agreed.

Watch out Utah. Your capital city is home of radical free-thinkers! The humanity!

The culture forces the liberal minority to congregate together. I work in Utah County, but I live in downtown SLC. There is just no way I could make myself live in a place as backwards as Utah County.

SLC better be happy that the Church Headquarters are there. Has anybody looked at the financial benifits of that? I think it is good to have polit ical diversity, it tends to keep things in balance.

Be careful Becker. Being more progressive on social issues and the environment does not always equate to being right, smart, or better. Not all of your so-called progress is good progress when exposed to reality and truth. Some issues or aspects of issues may be progressive but not always.

Utah County's reputation as the "kingdom of Conservatism" covers the entire state with it's blanket of Rebublicans.
If you have other views that differ from their majority, keep your mouth shut or watch out!
Just watch the news that comes from that part of the state!!!

Is that why the LDS is building so many Temples in the outlying areas of Utah?

Will they be moving "Temple Square"?

Who are the nutcakes who keep equating
Liberal with Evil and Wicked?

Such ignorance.

Jesus was Liberal.

Salt Lake City always a budget deficit. You liberals gotta get those Davis County conservatives to spend more money.

First openly gay council member? And why exactly is that a big deal? Why not vote for someone for what they bring to the table vs. what they prefer to practice in the bedroom?

I miss the old Republican Party, before they became the right wing nut-job hatemongers they are today.
