"Okay, I want proof. Chris Cannon has a lifetime 97 score by the American Conservative Union and posted a 100 last year and the year before that."
Those ratings are compiled based on specific votes. You have to look closer to see if the ACU even covered those votes and issues in question, especially since only some of this is getting House floor action.
Look closer at what Cannon has sponsored and supported:
1) "Chris Cannon is the author of the Student Adjustment Act, which would not only give illegals amnesty, it would also make them eligible for in-state college tuition and it would let them pay that discounted tuition with federal grants."

2) "Cannon’s bill, the Agricultural Jobs, Opportunity, Benefits, and Security Act of 2003 (AgJOBS,” H.R. 3142 (search), would make all foreign nationals who were illegally in the United States between February 2002 and January 2003 (which Cannon estimates is 11 million people), and who had also worked for 100 days in agriculture, immune from prosecution for the crime of entering the U.S. without a current visa, and then give them work permits.

I will be interested to see if the ACU put the CIRA Senate votes on their roster this year. The fact is that in recent years, there hasnt been many votes on this - there has been too little consensus to move things. But now, with the President pumping for 'comprehensive' immigration reform, there is action - and it is vital to send a message to DC to make sure the action doesnt take us down the wrong path.
Cannon falls in with McCain, Feinstein, Kennedy and liberals in supporting the "AgJobs" bill. The Senate CIRA is a monstrosity that 'compromised' between two bad amnesties - AgJobs and McCain-kennedy *and gave us both*. If Cannon is around to vote for this on the House floor - IT WILL BE TOO LATE, WE WILL HAVE LOST.
"I don't like seeing this guy being drug through the mud like a RINO." ...
If I was in that district, I'd vote for Jacobs. It's the conservative vote.
