I'm going to post a personal story here since Dane likes to refer to Jacob as a creep....it isn't true.

I met John Jacobs during the campaign leading to the GOP convention. He is honest, conservative, and a straight shooter. I was impressed. I went into the race with my vote securely in favor of Chris Cannon....that is until I met him.

Chris never says anything...he dances around issues always trying to come down on the right side of whichever wind is blowing. He talks the talk (but not very good.) He comes across as simple-minded. You don't believe me? Find a link showing the guy talking, it will boggle the mind.

On Memorial Day, I attended the ceremony at the Veterans Memorial at Camp Williams. It was one of the only "official" ceremonies in Utah. Orin Hatch was the keynote speaker.

It was attended by a small crowd...mostly aging WWII vets or widow's of vets. There were a scattering of Viet Nam Veterans and people like me, parents of current military personnel.

Across the room, I noticed, was John Jacob and his wife. They sat in an obscure position, they remained obscure. No one knew them, or knew they were there. I watched this wonderful man brought to tears as the tribute was given to our heroes who have defended our freedom. Orin Hatch talked more about the songs he has written and what was going to be published and released, he talked about his own legislation and everything HE had accomplished, he talked about the sacrifice of his brother in WWII and his brother-in-law in Viet Nam....it was all about him.

Jacob was there...in the background, unobserved, paying tribute to the dead, with humility, respect and honor. It wasn't Jacob's day. He quietly left in quiet reverence.

He is a good man.

He is a good man.

You're a good man, but I wouldn't vote for you. "Good" is not a measure of competence.

Jacob's inability to explain his own "FastPass" immigration plan is a measure of competence, however, and he's not very.

Thank you for Post #54 too. I'm not surprised to see Hatch bloviating about himself when he should be respecting our brave men and women.
