Pathetic, in an outrageous way.

This is one of the most Republican districts in the country. Cannon has shafted us for years on one of the most important issues to the Republican base. And despite these two salient facts, no one but this idiot Jacob would run against him, at least this year.

The "right" has a long, long way to go ...

...Jacob had unlawfully given money to an immigrant family....

...Jacob’s “gambling problem”...

...Jacob had been telling audiences that 40 percent of prisoners in the Central Utah Correctional Facility were illegal aliens. This week, he had to admit that it was only 8 percent...

...Jacob is thinking that illegals who can prove they’ve been in the U.S. for 10 or 20 years would return to the their home country and obtain a FastPass which would put them at the front of the immigration line and allow them to return to the U.S. legally....

Most of these IMO are a matter of interpretation and spin, and not scandalous per se. But all paint a picture that Jacob's not the sharpest knife in the drawer when it comes to handling the press. And then he claims Satan is to blame...

Help turn your state into a red state. You seem talented enough and smart enough.

Do you know that Tancredo/Buchanan backed Merril Cook who was the third nominee for 3rd district congress. Cook lost in the convention, so they turned to the lesser of two evils.

Their support for Jacob is actually support for Cannon's defeat. Aren't they great!

"But I do wonder why the tancredo/bay buchanan PAC spends $40,000 on ads going after a 100% ACU conservative and spends nil on the Chaffee race.

You don't have to wonder or lose sleep tonite Dane. I'll help you .

Cannon's votes on immigration issues, as researched by Spiff.
You might want to go back and read his votes.

Immigrant funds flow to Cannon campaign

Pro-migrant groups have donated $58,200 in the past 12 days

Copyright 2006 Deseret Morning News

By Bob Bernick Jr. and Lee Davidson
Deseret Morning News

Just days before his Republican primary election, U.S. Rep. Chris Cannon is seeing more than $134,000 flowing into his war chest, much of it from organizations known to favor cheap immigrant labor.
The pro-immigration groups have given Cannon, R-Utah, at least $58...

Remember who he's runnign against. Jacob is the better choice by far. Just because he isn't "slick" with the press doesn't mean he's not a good candidate.

For the same reason they'll be hitting Chafee in September, because he supports amnesties. But you knew that didn't you?

Jacob supporters...don't be depressed about Cannon's last minute donations from La Raza type groups.

You need to look no futher than the special primary election in Ohio recently.
Pat Dewine (Senator Mike Dewines Son) was running for an open congressional seat.
He had ALL THE WASHINGTON INSIDER SUPPORT from many GOP Congressman and Senators including Clueless Lott and Whimp Frist.

He Had A 10-1 Ratio in Money over his closest foe.

He had the support of all the local papers.

Guess What? All the money, all the insider Washington insider support
and all the local newspaper support could buy him was a FOURTH PLACE FINISH.

Citizens of Ohio sent MiKe Dewine a message thru his son.

The citizens of UTAH are certainly capable of sending Cannon and Bush a message as well. We will have to see.

LOL! You left out the part where those contributions were coming from such "pro-immigrant" groups such as plant nurseries.

I guess you like your candidate, John Jacob, think the below is the spawn of satan.

Dane is from PA? Thats not even a RED STATE.
Maybe Dane should help turn his state RED with all of his wise wisdom, before
he gives his opinions to us who live and helped make our states RED.

Looks like Diane Irey is making some traction, hopefully there won't be any spiteful Republican PAC's such as tnacredo's and bay buchanan's, to put another obstacle in her way.

As long as she's not pro-illegal immigration, I'm sure there won't be any opposition from Tancredo/Buchanan.

Did you know Bay Buchanan lives in Utah. So I would assume she has a right to voice her opinions and spend her PAC money the way she sees fit.

What's your excuse?

Dane wants amnesty, he has spent the last 8 years attacking anyone who prefers instead to secure the borders while supporting politicians who don't. The pattern from him is as predictable as the earth traveling around the sun.

This is a very interesting comment Dane, I didn't know Bay Buchanan lived in Utah. Don't you think she has a right to engage in politics in her own state? Who are you to constantly chastise her for doing so? Someone from Pennsylvania no less.

To be honest, Bay has a residence in Alpine, UT. She isn't a resident as far as I know, but she might be.

But the big question is why?

Why does Dane want the hardworking people, in this country, to subsidize illegals' healthcare, Aid For Dependent Children, and in, Cannon's case, a free college education while the citizens of Utah have to pay, while employers who hire them (for their cheap wages) gets off with a free ride? The only conclusion I can come to is Dane is one of those employers. Why else the passion against the obvious.
