So, voting for Cannon because he is NRA endorsed (Pro-2nd Amendment) does not make you a one issue zealot? Get a clue, if you are voting for Cannon just because he is NRA endorsed (Pro-2nd Amendment) that makes you one. Unless you are pro illegal alien/amnesty, then that would not make you a one.

Sounds like Jacobs is Pro-2nd Amendment AND anti illegal alien/amnesty.

Exactly, which is why he/she is a one issue zealot.

You are correct. If both candidates are pro-2nd Amendment, the NRA goes with the incumbant. The NRA is a one issue organization, that is why I belong.

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

What, you think the NRA should make their endorsement based on immigration instead of gun rights?

Because both candidates are good on gun rights, but one is a jerk and an incumbant and the other isn't. NRA is backing the jerk. They do this more than is good for them.

You'd be hard pressed in the State of Utah to find ANY Republican that ISN'T for second amendment rights....they'd be shot!

BTW did you know it was Bay Buchanan that nominated Cannon at the State Republican convention. We delegates were debating if that was even constitutional since she was not a resident of the State.

I wonder what has happened for her to withdraw her support of Cannon. Oh yeah, maybe she just opened her eyes.

I mean, if any state supports gun rights, Utah does...

As far as the NRA goes, they're safe here.

I have to amend my last post. Bay Buchanan nominated Merril Cook for 3rd District Congressional seat.

In fact it was Tancredo/Buchanan that convinced Cook to enter the race....so the story goes. oopsie :o

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.

Everytime I bother writing a response to you, I always remember why I usually ignore you.

I did not critisize the NRA. That's lie number one from you about me.

Second lie- that Cannon is a good conservative. No good conservatives compromise our security, soveignty and culture.

Third lie- That illegal immigration is "one" issue. It affects national security, economics, social issues, heathcare, property etc...

Fourth Lie- I have ranked WOT,Judges, Illegal Immigration and Charater as the FOUR issues that override everything for me. Illegal immigration encompasses them all. You, on the other hand, are a notorious one issue poster. Defend the administration as right even when they are wrong. That is the only issue that motivates you.

If you cannot refrain from lying, or attacking the characters of those you disagree with, I suspect the number of postings you make would rapidly decline.

Regardless I do thank you and those like you. For years we've heard- Challenge them in the primaries! Then we heard, specifically about Specter and now Chafee, No! You can't challange a seat we risk losing otherwise because they vote with the Caucus! they then vote for Liberal legislation, but that never seems to bother you guys for long. Now we hear we cannot challenge a seat in a safe district for a Republican. Why don't you guys just have the guts to admit you are Liberals so we can talk in good faith? You don't want conservatism to advance, you are perfectly comfortable with the Liberals running the caucus.

I think You should Change the Title to "Illegal Alien Advocate Backs Cannon in GOP primary"

Also, that Good Conservative line you use in every line describing cannon is Hillarious.

"Latino advocate Tony Yapias says, he got involved after several people told him that Jacob had hired illegal workers. Yapias says it's hypocritical for Jacob to run on an immigration platform. Jacob's website says he will push for legislation to secure our borders."

You wouldn't know a good conservative if Barry Goldwater rose from the grave, walked up to you, introduced himself, and kicked you in the backside.

The thing is, the NRA should be backing the border enforcement candidate too.

How many illegals have broken into homes? How many are a menace to society to unarmed citizens?

Preaching to the choir here...once in awhile, I weaken and re-up for NRA membership, but then they do things like this...

Tancredo is the only truly strong opponent of illegal immigration. What's your beef?

He's for open borders and amnesty for all illegals. Do you need any other reason?

>> NRA Political Victory Fund <<

Hmmm... Did they rate him, or endorse him? Big Difference; the press usually calls positive ratings from the NRA endorsements when the recipient is politically correct, like Chris Cannon and Howard Dean.

Cannon is supporting Bush's amnesty. He has been courting illegals. Utah is being invaded, and Cannon just wants to give them benefits. His challenger is equally conservative on other issues, but he will enforce our borders.

Yeah that's why Cannon's opponent John Jacob set up a a dummie corporation for a Chilean couple.

Looks like Jacob had his own little guest worker program going.
