Seeing as Cannon's lifetime ACU rating is 97% and his ACU ratings for the last two years are 100% each, I'm wondering which of his votes make him a RINO?
Issues that were discussed by Cannon, during the campaign leading up to the GOP convention, simply highlighted his stances...more government inclusion into our lives through "social programs," some of them being specifically geared toward illegal immigrants. He also exhibits a lack of fiscal constraint by these same programs.
His opponent, on the other hand, comes accross as more conservative. It was not just a vote against Chris Cannon, but also against another former Congressman from Utah, Merrill Cook. Of the three candidates John Jacobs shined in his conservatism. He is a self-made, independant, strong willed man, who has brought himself up by his bootstraps and cannot be "bought." John Jacobs is simply the better candidate....I don't care what the ACU tells me....And that is what grassroots politics is all about, meeting the candidates face to face, talking with them, examining there character and their record.
