Campaign Highlights Inconsistencies Between Record and Rhetoric
WASHINGTON, June 14 /U.S. Newswire/ -- Team America PAC has launched a radio campaign in Salt Lake City, Utah. The purpose of the campaign is to make Republican Primary voters aware of Representative Chris Cannon's support for illegal alien amnesties and other benefits for illegal aliens even though he represents his record as having been tough on illegal immigration.
On his website, Congressman Cannon claims he's never supported amnesty for illegal aliens and never will. In fact, Cannon has not only supported nine amnesties for illegal aliens, he's actually co-sponsored six amnesties himself. Cannon claims to be tough on illegal immigration yet he's co-sponsored two bills that would reward illegal aliens with in-state tuition. He's voted multiple times against aiding police officers in the apprehension of illegal aliens. Cannon is currently co-sponsoring a bill that protects illegal aliens from prosecution for social security fraud.
Team America' Chairman, Bay Buchanan commented, "Chris Cannon is one of the most pro amnesty congressman in Washington. It is certainly understandable why he would choose to hide his atrocious record on amnesty from his constituents but that in no way justifies the hypocrisy associated with doing so. Utah voters have a right to know if their congressman is deliberately deceiving them, especially on an issue as critical to the nation as illegal immigration."
Team America PAC launched the ad campaign earlier this week in the Salt Lake City market. The radio spots use humor to expose Cannon's claim of being tough on immigration. Throughout the spot the announcer repeatedly asks, "Chris Cannon tough on immigration?" followed by the announcer's description of Chris Cannon's support for an immigration bill that's completely out of synch with most American's views. Over the top crowd laughter then ensues. The radio spot concludes by asking GOP Primary voters to support Cannon's Primary opponent John Jacob "to begin cleaning up the immigration mess Chris Cannon helped make."
Yeah right that is why john jacob set up a dummie corporation to get his pwn guest worker work program.
Uh no, cher did, with her public announcement that she is one of lou dobb's best friends.
When are you going to castigate lou dobbs for being buddy buddy with the hollywood left.
"Chris Cannon was one of the House managers who spearheaded the impeachment proceedings against Bill Clinton."
So was Lindsey Graham.
"Yeah right that is why john jacob set up a dummie corporation to get his pwn guest worker work program."
Now we're going full circle. Your slanderous garbage was debunked in #14 in this very thread, but there you go again.
While you keep using Cher as your red herring, you post stuff from a pro-amnesty newspaper that supports pro-amnesty Chris Cannon. Just wow.
The Beat Goes On ... I guess.
Dane, you're cracking up. While we are on this guilt-by-association riff, can we conclude the late Sonny Bono, GOP Congressman, must have been a 'cherite' too?
Do you have OCD?
Really? I wasn't the one who who set up the dummie corporation for the Chilean couple, it was your tancredoite hero, john jacob.
Uh no, cher did, with her public announcement that she is one of lou dobb's best friends.
Hmmmm.......You wanna read the article & show me where Lou or Cher is mentioned ???
YOU, in fact brought both to the thread.
So are you AGAINST the better & safer helmets for our troops, that Cher supports ??
Well exuse me for posting facts, if that's cracking up. I think you may have a future within nancy pelosi's office.
Put your resume in, and use this thread as a reference.
JMO, I think they will look kindly on your replies.
"All cher did was wear free bob mackie dresses, and spout off her hatred of conservatives, and you all take cher's words as the word of God, while she has never been in real political election herself."
Bizarre. Why are you bringing up Cher at all? Is she endorsing a candidate? Is she running for this seat? Who on FR gives a flip what Cher thinks one way or 'tother? Nobody except you! She's a Hollywood airhead and if she happens to be right or wrong about any particular issue just consider it random chance and irrelevent.
Angela Buchanan was treasurer of the US under Reagan. Pat Buchanan was a speech writer for the Gipper. I disagree with Buchanan on a lot of smaller issues. I usually agree with him on the big ones. The same people who shriek like liberals when Pat writes something expect us to support their moderates when we don't totally agree with them, but then insist we completely disown Pat because he is goofy on Israel.
These open borders people tell us not to desert the party, and to work within the primaries, but when we do, they come on here with their screeching attacks.
Cannon is La Raza's favorite Republican. They love him more than McCain. He should be defeated.
Even if Jacob wins you're still going to spin it somehow into a defeat. You'll probably accuse Tancredo of secretly hiring white supremacists to stuff the ballots or something.
Your above example is not a quoted Cannon statement.
"Why do the moderators allow Dane to destroy any reasonable discussion on any thread dealinig with illegal aliens? He hijacks every illegal alien thread and posts his obsessive rants against Tancredo and then expands his rants to include anyone against illegal immigrants."
ROFLMAO!! Oh, the irony!
After months of other threads getting 'invaded' by the illegal alien issue, now ... an illegal alien thread getting side-tracked into a Cher thread. ... precious!
FR would be boring without such amusements.
Maybe Dobbs had a Dennis Miller moment. Maybe he started seeing how much of an impact illegals were having and decided to take a more populist approach, I don't know, but I welcome him speaking about illegal immigration despite being a johnny-come-lately.
You really are a blithering moron. Just because Cher says that Lou Dobb's is HER best friend doesn't make Cher HIS best friend. I guess Vidkun Quisling said you were HIS best friend, then by your logic Quisling would be YOUR best friend.
Even by the slightist chance that the voters of the 3rd Utah Congressional district get caught up in bay buchanan/tancreso madness and vote in jacob.
I'll be here to voice the hypocrisy of letting jacob have his own dummie corporation to employ foreign born aliens, while you all like yourself were screaming for Linda Chavez's head while she showed Christian charity to a foreign born immigrant, and was disqualified from holding a Cabinet postion in the Bush adminsistration.
"You're a regular one man smear machine, aren't you."
The other open borders fanatics seem to be taking the day off.
