JMO, Mr. Eccles, you seem to have much personal experience in the stupid vote.
Why do I think this endorsement is more about collecting money than distributing it?
I'm going to take a person's opinion(JCeccles) on the internet as the "truth".
I doubt that Chris Cannon is running away from his record, but is running on his record of being conservative on taxes, the 2nd amendment, abortion, and a whole other issues that concer real conservatives, not one issue zealots like you and Eccles.
I can just see and hear Bill Clinton grinning as he hears one of Cannon's ads: "Man, I could take lessons from that guy!"
Because Tancredo ran away from his own proposal when Pence took it up.
When it was offered by Tancredo the bomb thrower, that was all right. But when Pence took it up, it suddenly looked as if it might actually pass--and that would leave Tancredo without an issue to run on and raise money on.
Well, Cannon has a 100% rating from ACU in 2005 and in 2004. Lifetime: 97%. The ADA rated him a 0% in 2000-2002 and 2004-2005. In 2003, he got 5%.
I am not eager to throw a guy like that overboard for an unknown.
Hot issues change Mr. Dane.
And we will see if the Bush/Cannon/Senate immigration approach is what rural america wants. Why isn't he running the "Comprehensive Immigration Reform"
ads he has supported until he was forced into the runoff?
I'll tell you why. He's seen the polls. They are telling him to dump the Bush/Senate/His past Record on immigration reform to save his job.
Don't cha love a man of principle?
I think that Tancredo enjoyed being a cult Congressman, the favorite of a small amount of people. When he's faced with the possibility of getting something done, I don't think he wants to have anything to do with it.
It is interesting, isn't it?
For all the Big talk by the open borders lobby/GOP sycophants about how pro-enforcement people are fringers...Cannon is pretending to be one of us to win the primary.
So if manages to keep his seat, is this a victory for open borders? No, because he isn't running on open borders. He's running on the House Plan.
Jacobs is hoping to slip in as the "un-Cannon." Cannon has a sterling record, and is being endorsed by the NRA.
Jacobs is endorsed by Bay Buchanan.
Do the math.
That's amazing for a candidate who is running in a quixotic quest against an incumbent in a primary. Usually these guys are declarative. They take risky stands and try to rally the base. I wonder what this guy's beliefs really are that make him so evasive?
Linda Chavez does the same thing and it is "off with her head", by the immigration zealots.
The plot thickens!
No wonder Tancredo supports Jacob. They are blood brothers when it comes to hiring illegals.
What is your problem with Tancredo? You have a problem with someone speaking the truth about immigration?
He's all grift, and no deeds.
You have a problem with someone speaking the truth about immigration?
Let me know when he starts to do so, OK? He punked out when his OWN EFFING BILL GOT PROPOSED BY SOMEONE OTHER THAN HIMSELF!
Do you know any 'undocumented aliens' personally?
Ask John Jacob, he did exactly what Linda Chavez did, but I don't see you all calling for his head ala like you did with Linda Chavez.
They seem to forget to ask why Cannon, an entrenched incumbent was forced into a runoff to begin with. I mean how many incumbents are forced into runoffs by unknowns?
One Reason: Immigration
Cannon also had a runoff in 04 and won it handily with 60% of the vote.
Oh I forgot you guys disregard electoral history, nevermind.
