Globe reporters saw Romney's people enter church headquarters? And they then interview a few people and come up with this tripe? Kind of a huge stretch on their part, IMO.

BTW, ridicule and scorn happen at BYU all the time too. Have you ever given a "liberal" opinion during class at BYU? |

BUT, it appears uncontested that two BYU deans did write people from their school account urging them to vote for Romney. Read my first post for my thoughts on that issue. |

Imagine that it was Samuelson who sent out the email to people urging them to vote for a certain candidate. Now imagine the candidate was Nancy Pelosi. Would Samuelson still have a job? Probably not. And why? Because it would appear that he was speaking on behalf of the university (even if he wasn't). People in positions of authority at large institutions MUST be cognizant of how their messages will be interpreted. http://www.sltrib.com/ci_4540194 MANY people (including many conservative Mormons) think the deans did something wrong here, not just liberal hoya.

What do you wish for us to say?
Do you wish for us to fall upon our swords and state these heinous BYU individuals should all be gassed because they sent out emails from work? Do you wish we would execute all conservatives so there'd only be liberals? But then again who'd be around to tax to pay for your useless, expensive government programs? Would it have been more perfect if they'd not emailed from work? Stating the obvious. You beat an anti-conservative drum so often, it's no longer effective. Perhaps the Globe will make a mountain out of this moehill, but it is but a moehill. Romney's chances of doing anything are so minimal, it makes sense his people might speak with persons logically more inclined to support him than going to Harvard and asking for Harvard's support. How that university offers it, is the choice of the university or its members.

If anything, I'm laughing at the people who get suckered by this sensationalism. It exposes their inability to be rational.

Once again, this is not a conservative/liberal issue. As I asked Rocky, what would you think if the tables were turned and it was Samuelson sending an email to support Pelosi? Answer how you would feel about such a situation and your answer should be the same for this situation. BTW, the "university" CAN'T legally offer its support. Its members can, but not in their capacity as representatives of the university. Last edited by Cali Coug; 10-24-2006 at 07:46 PM. |

I no longer give a crap what Samuelson does as he doesn't appear to be benefitting the university.
I no longer expect politicians to be moral, just consistent in their voting. I don't care if somebody sends out an email to friends. Obviously if somebody in authority sent out an email that looked authoritative, I'd inquire further, especially if it didn't agree with my views. But, I wouldn't get excised about it. Leaders and administrators do stupid things.
