I was listening to Doug Wright on KGOP this morning when he said something that nearly stopped me in my tracks (explaining that brief delay on northbound I-15).

Doug and his simple-folk callers were bemoaning the price of gas and demanding action, when Doug blurted out:

We have had presidents who have stepped up and demanded more from Big Business.

Then Utah's unctuous Republican family-values mouthpiece went on to name them: JFK, FDR, Truman and Teddy Roosevelt.

Basically, Doug endorsed the Democratic Party.

OK, Teddy was a Republican, but few would argue he acted a lot like a Dem — he believed in government involvement in the economy and he beats Clinton hands down for protecting public land.
