The always intelligent, yet ruggedly handsome, Thomas Burr, Esq. over at the SL Tribune wrote an interesting missive about Mr. Flip [Flop] Romney on the Out of Context blog this afternoon:

[…] It’s doubtful those lawmakers had read Romney’s comments in the July 2002 issue of Commonwealth Magazine in which he bashed the single-party dominance in Utah.

“I just came back from living in a state that was overwhelmingly Republican,” Romney told the Massachusetts magazine. “And a single-party system generates problems, in my view. In that state, the more extreme wing of the dominant party begins to have more and more political sway, and that de-energizes the great mainstream of citizens. They get turned off by politics and offended by the politicians and become less engaged in the political process.” […]

CHICK HERE for the rest, because, in it’s full glory, Thomas’ writing tends to shine a little brighter.
