...said the little Quisling Aztlan cheerleader who injected Cher into this thread.
And who is publicly calling for the dismantling of the Education Dept.
It ain't tom tancredo, it's Chris Cannon.
Uh it was lefty hollywood icon, cher, who stated on C-Span that she is good friends with tancredo sycophant, lou dobbs.
Conservative Republican Tom Tancredo has won 4 congressional elections and will win another this November despite the lies and smears from leftists like you. How many have you won, Vidkun?
None and I freely admit that.
Of course I also didn't renege on a campign promise to self term limit myself to three terms, as tom tancredo did, nor do I set up PAC's to go against congressman that have 100% ACU ratings as tom tancredo does.
That is a lie. Cannon's lifetime rating is lower than Tancredo's. As is Cannon's other scores from conservative organizations.
Another lie from Vidkun 'Dane' Quisling. That's like saying the sun came up this morning. Hey, isn't it time for another moronic Cher reference or pic?
Nope need to, I made my point that cher seems to be good friends with tancredo sycophant lou dobbs.
"And who is publicly calling for the dismantling of the Education Dept."
Not that I even think it's politically practical, but there is something amiss about saying a 10-year incumbent is for something that manifestly has not happened and will never happen so long as Rep Cannon is in office. It is a talking point at odds with his actual votes:
http://www.chriscannon.com/Issues/education.html
"Against the backdrop of decades of increasing federal involvement and funding in our local schools, with little apparent benefit, I voted for the NCLB as a catalyst for needed change. Accountability, targeting resources toward real needs and closing the achievement gap between disadvantaged students and their peers were basic intentions of the NCLB, and after throwing billions of tax dollars at education without such accountability, it made sense to try to enact some common sense reforms into the manner in which federal assistance is used in our schools."
This is from hos own website. He closes with ...
"However, even with those modest improvements, the bureaucratic implementation of NCLB has made it clearer than ever that the only real answer is to get the federal government out of our classrooms."
That would be great, if only we had a "Federal Govt out of the classroom Act" with over 100 co-sponsors, including Cannon. NCLB went in the opposite direction, with more Federal money and more Federal direction.
NCLB set in motion accountablity in public schools and anything the teachers unions hate, I'm for.
That's true. You beat the ever-living stuffing out of that strawman. An absolutely meaningless display and a total waste of posting space.
What irrelevant point or relationship are you going to drag out next, beat to a pulp, and declare victory over?
Does Chris Cannon know that you're posting on his behalf? He'd probably pay you not to...
As in your getting paid by alan keyes to post for him has produced electoral victories.
And also I'm not being paid by any political entitiy.
As usual, you're making stuff up.
I don't think that contention is accurate. This suggests he is still for legalization:
Your link doesn't give us a post June 2004 direct quote from Cannon. Cannon's remark isn't in quotes. It's a second hand account from an unnamed source.
Using a similar low standard let's take a look at Cannon's opponent, John Jacob.
Aw, now you gone and done it ! ;-D
Go Jacob !
"Your link doesn't give us a post June 2004 direct quote from Cannon. Cannon's remark isn't in quotes. It's a second hand account from an unnamed source. Using a similar low standard ... "
What can I say? It's a MSM report on Cannon's meetings with constituents. The Journalist says "recent", which we can take to mean this election cycle.
If you want to add usual MSM grain o' salt, fine, but I dont see *any* evidence to support the contention you are making, and some evidence contrarawise. Do you have even a single quote from Cannon that "I was wrong, I changed my views." None. So why assume that he has?
The vote on HR4437 was just to get it in conference where the Bush/'comprehensive' team gameplan was to substitute the House bill for something a lot closer to the Senate bill in conference. The plan would work too, if pesky conservative didn't get all up in arms about how horrible this Kennedy-written Senate bill was.
"We love immigrants in Utah. We don't make distinctions between legal and illegal."
Tag line material.
But if Tancredo had a phony matricula card & worked off the books for 12yrs. you would support him, right ??
And also the person you hate, Chris Cannon,
I'll WAIT for you to find ANY POST where I say I hate Cannon or anyone, for that matter.
