Pappy O’Daniels would see a kindred spirit in Mark Shurtleff
Senator Robert Bennett is weak and politically bleeding. Another political shark notices and moves in for the kill. My guess is that Mark Shurtleff has been aiming for this day for a decade or more.
But.. he won’t get my support or money.
Not just because he supports illegal immigration. Not just because he supports gay marriage. And not just because he was slow to investigate minors marrying in Utah’s polygamist communities.
I’ll not support him because he, Bob Bennett & Orrin Hatch are birds of a feather. Political narcissists, sharks, angling for personal gain paid for by our resources.
He said “we need new blood” at his announcement today, and that is true. But a new person doesn’t mean new “blood”, if the blood is that of the same old career politician that has done our state and nation such disservice.
What we need is somebody who cares about Utah and this Country, not their next career stop.
My suggestion…. if you think the person has been thinking about the political office for decades… run away… fast.
