Last month, I dropped off a baseball hat which said, “LDS Democrat”, to Sen. Bennett’s office in Salt Lake City.
Below is the response that sent back and thanking me for the gift.
It reads:
Dear Richard,
Thanks for the hat. I doubt I’ll wear it in public, but I’m glad to have it, nonetheless. I’m sorry the Examiner story didn’t cover my full remarks, but went with the sensational one liner. I applaud you and other LDS Faithful for your efforts to change the perception that many Utahns have of the Democratic Party.
Bob Bennett

Yeah, funny how the phrase "Utah Democrats are the anti-Mormon party" can be so easliy taken out of context.
Senator Bennett, you said it. It's a disgraceful and dishonest partisan pile of fetid election year propaganda. Now, pony up and own it.
That letter showed a lot of class.
He's a big fat chicken to not wear the hat. Kudos to Richard for sending him the hat in the first place. ;-)
Bennett is a good man. I applied for an internship with him, and made sure to check the "Democrat" box on my application. It wasn't a problem though. He hired me all the same. I had a great experience, and really do admire the man, even if I do disagree with a lot of his policies.
