Richard Wright and Greg Prince in their seminal work on David O. McKay write of an experience that happened early in McKay's life.
When the Federales forced Utah to abondon their unique 2 party system and go with either GOP or Democrat, there were meetings held throughout Utah of the Priesthood. In these meetings, the chapel was usually divided down the middle with one half becoming Democrat and the other half becoming Republican.
President McKay's Father returned from one of those meetings sick...and he explained to his family that he sat on the side that became GOP, and he was ashamed of it and wondered aloud how he was ever going to be able to show his face in public again...as a Republican...
From that....................to UGLY baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaabies
