Salt Lake is a weird place. A friend of mine was the prosecutor in charge of white collar crimes in the 1970's. He had one of the highest case loads in the country. Fraud, misappropriation, embezzlement are rampant there. The politicians are as crooked as Mexico's. And that includes lots of "Republicans" or whatever you want to call the bastards. Hatch is just the most polished of them, and Cannon is the least. A fat, smarmy, lying pig is what he looks like and what he is.
Some people I knew had the theory that Utah is polarized into the sweet, gullible, true blue Mormons who believe anything they're told, and a cadre of opportunist filth who prey on them precisely because they are so gullible. Hard to say.
This time dear Chrissy stepped in the doo-doo and committed a crime. Soliciting illegal aliens for donations pretty much is a slam dunk - criminal from the get. We'll see how serious the FEC really is with this one. At any rate, he just gave a massive boost to Throckmorton, since this made it into the Deseret News.
I charged another $50.00 to www.Matt4utah.com this a.m., maybe I'll dump another few hundred there tomorrow. Cannon may actually be on his way out. Wanna help all I can.
Begging illegal aliens for campaign money and votes seems pretty desperate to me. I hope you're right that Cannon is on his way out but for some reason there hasn't been any recent polls out to know where he stands in that district.
Excuse me, but is there really good evidence of this? I always thought someone is presumed innocent until proven guilty? I realize that good people can go wrong, but until this came up, I've never heard of any wrong-doing by Chris Cannon! It would be sad if it were true; and he should be prosecuted and removed from office if it was. But lets wait until the facts come out, see if he is proven guilty in this, and stop denigrating Mr. Cannon, huh?
