“To the victor go the spoils” applies to politics as well a war. But there’s got to be a limit to how much those who consistently lose can take. In Utah, the Democratic Party consistently loses. In fact, the name Democrat in Utah has become synonymous with losing. One would think that Utah’s current state of affairs might be a wake-up call, not just for Democrats, but for all freedom-loving Utahns.
With each new Republican victory begetting even more Republican victories, the ominous specter of ubiquitous Republican control becomes an ever-present danger. With the governor’s office, the attorney general’s office, the Legislature and the Senate all under Republican domination, cherished constitutional freedoms like proportional representation and checks and balances are threatened.
