Yep but bay buchanan and tom tancred want this good conservative out of his seat.

With "friends" like tancredo and bay buchanan who needs enemies.

[Knitting A Conundrum]

And the NRA wonders why I won't rejoin....

[SevenMinusOne]

With "friends" like tancredo and bay buchanan who needs enemies.

Agreed -- Tancredo has lost me with him forever with his action involving this race - He is nothing but a one-issue loser and is clearly starting to love the fame associated with being such more then he is anything else.

Cannon is a maggot ... kick him to the curb

[MaDeuce]

"Cannon is a maggot ... kick him to the curb"

Wo Wo Wo, wait a minute. I don't know a thing about this guy (and probably a lot of other Freepers don't either).

Explain why he is bad. If he is a supporter of our Second Amendment ... thats good. What is it that is so bad about him?

Guess it's too much to ask that a conservative be for the 2nd Amendment and against Amnesty for 12-30 million illegals.

/sarc off.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Cannon is a big-time open borders supporter.

[JCEccles]

John Jacobs, who is running against Cannon, would be just as strong a supporter of the Second Amendment.

Jacobs would be just as conservative all the way round with one important exception: he wouldn't pee on your leg and tell you it's raining like Cannon does when it comes to illegal immigration.

Cannon's radio ads are incredible. The man has been a one-man border destroying machine for years, but to hear his ads he's not only trying to close the borders, he's the hero of the hour, the illegal immigrant's worst nightmare.

[dennisw]

open borders shill..... that's what he is

[Soul Seeker]

Yes, it is simply unforgiveable to suppose anyone would desire a Congressman that wasn't only conservative on gun rights, but on the border.

Here's the deal. The NRA knows what it has with Cannon, so they back him. Because for them the ONLY thing that matters is how someone votes on the 2A. That's the sole reason they exist. To protect their rights guarenteed by that amendment. It's no different then a pro-life group, or Club for Growth (primarily centered on tax cuts, less spending and less government) when they hand out endorsements. They don't necessarily care where they stand on anything else, only the issue that is reason for their existence. That is how it works, and I have no problem with it.

This is no reflection on Jacobs, though, if you mean to imply otherwise. They'll always choose the solid record for the NRA over a challenger. Without regard to PARTY. They HAVE endorsed Democrats too.

And I'm still contributing to the candidate that will enforce the border. Jacobs. I see no reason to settle for someone that is conservative in some areas, but not on something that ranks with WOT/Judges in my book.

[Dane]

So you are just like the NRA, that you just criticized, just admit it, that you are contributing to an unknown one issue zealot, instaed of a good conservative with a good conservative record.

[bilhosty]

When it comes to saving this country I am a one issue man myself. Chris Cannon is a supporter of legislation that would destroy this country as we know IT. If you don't think bringing thirty million more Mexicans into this country and giving them minority preference in jobs over the rest of us shouldn't make us one issue voters what would? Compared to this gun control one way or the other is irrelevant. Do you really think Guns are safe anyway if the Dem's put nine people on the Supreme Court?

I'm still shaking my head about the illegal immigration situation
in Utah (as seen on TV).
I heard that something like 1 in 20 Utah residents have had their
identity stolen by illegals...yet Vicente Fox gets red-carpet treatment
and entre into the Utah halls of power.

What's going on? Is Utah just jockeying to be the premier province
of Atzlan?

I'm shaken my head that you think your unsourced hyperbole is believable.

Face it the NRA has endorsed a good conservative, Chris Cannon, and your unsourced hyperbole is not going to change that.

[JCEccles]

I can't explain some things that happen in Utah.

[axes_of_weezles]

you are for him, that's enough for quite a few folks to be against him.

The NRA has an advisor who is Muslim and open borders. Some of wish to have the United States of America in 5 years instead of Canamexistan.

Go ahead spend all of your money.

[Dane]

Republican Congressional candidate John Jacob is in the hot seat. Jacob supports cracking down on illegal immigration, but now he's accused of hiring undocumented workers. Critics are calling Jacob a hypocrite. But Jacob, who is running against incumbent Chris Cannon, insists he did nothing wrong. The controversy centers around a Chilean couple, whom Jacob admits he helped several years ago, at the request of his church bishop. He says, the man and his wife were here on student visas and the man is now close to getting his citizenship. Jacob says, he paid the man's wife for housework because she didn't want to take advantage of his kindness.

[samadams2000]

If true I want him to lose. I can always keep my guns but I cant get the government to stop the illegal horde.

[axes_of_weezles]

Tancredo has a better lifetime rating from the ACU.

How much are they paying you for your full time advocacy?

Not enough to do at the SPP and Bilderburg meetings?
