Utah race closes to virtual dead heat
Washington Times ^ | 6/26/06 | Charles Hurt

SALT LAKE CITY -- Rep. Chris Cannon, the five-term Republican facing a stiff primary challenge here over his stance on immigration, has lost a comfortable lead and heads into tomorrow's primary in a statistical tie, according to the latest poll by the Salt Lake City Tribune. The survey of 400 voters found that 44 percent of "likely" Republican primary voters prefer the incumbent Mr. Cannon, compared with 41 percent who prefer developer and political newcomer John Jacob, who promises to crack down on illegal immigration. The three-point gap is within the poll's five-percentage-point margin of error.

With "friends" like Cannon who would vote for Kennedy's (and all the other democrats') amnesty (not amnesty) plan, who needs enemies? I would think that the fact that all the democrat senators were for this (except a few in deep red states up for election this year) would be enough information to tell you which side conservatives should be on. Letting this amnesty BS go through will just accelerate the 3rd world socialist take over of this country.

You don't hear about it here, but I'll bet this issue plays different in different states. I don't know about Utah, but I do know that my sister is a business owner in a Mo town of 7,000 people. she likes the fact that Mexicans come and bring economic activity buying houses and cars. If they will take the jobs at the chicken processing plant, so much better.

Of course you won't. There is a small but very loud faction on FR, who are hispanic bashers.

A couple of days ago one of their biggest cheerleaders(extremely extreme extremist) pinged me to a thread about a illegal immigrant mass murderer getting justice in Texas(i.e his execution).

Of course the thread turned into a hispanic bash fest, while all the while whites are never such mass mudrerers such as ted bundy or jeffrey dahmer.

I guess to EEE, their names are jeffrey dahmerez and theodoro bundy.

Pure tancreepbot lies.

Chris Cannon voted for H.R. 4437.

The question is how he would vote (or would have voted) on Bush's amnesty (not amnesty) plan. Voting him out (or against him) will send a message to Bush that we don't want his amnesty (not amnesty) crap.

I am not a Hispanic basher. In fact, a soon-to-be son-in-law from Columbia told me there are no Hispanics. I am very concerned that illegals undermine a body of labor law it took us 100 years to arrive at. I am also concerned that Californians who will not face their problems suck all of the oxygen out of the air. Nationwide, illegal immigration is only half a Mexican phenomenon. We have more serious problems I have seen here than illegal nannies and landscapers. Try indentured servants from India and sex-trade slaves from Indochina. However, as long as local authorities think traffic stops and seat belt sweeps are more important, we are doomed.

Nope, why give you sadistic pleasure.

Anyway, Cannon is going to win.

They know full well that a defeat for Cannon is a defeat for Bush's open borders policy. They can't have that since they have been telling us for months how polls show support for Bush's "Comprehensive Reform" policy.

While a Cannon loss is a longshot, it is funny to think of Dane sitting there with fingers, arms and legs crossed, eyes squeezed tightly shut, exclaiming over and over, "Oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please..."

Yeah vote out a guy who voted for H.R. 4437, and when are you tancreepites going to start your jihad against J.D. Heyworth, who voted against H.R. 4437.

Anyway as you twist yourself into a rhetorical pretzel. I'll trust people such as James Sensenbrenner, who has given a ringing endorsement to Chris cannon.

Jacob will vote for H.R. 4437 as well. What we can be sure of is that he won't vote for Bush's amnesty (not amnesty) plan like 95% of the Rat Senators and 100% of the RINOs.

Whew dude, step away from the keyboard and take a break, get yourself a pepsi or a cup of coffee, and when you are calmed down, then go to your superiors at the DNC basement, to get further instructions.

Dane is panicking because the pro-illegal Republicans are getting their asses handed to them.

Attacking the Washington Times polls? What's next, when Brit Hume announces a Jacob victory, he'll say Hume has been paid off by the Tancredo/Buchanan PAC.

I have nothing against Hispanics Dane. Show me a thread where I specifically bashed them. It would have been pulled by the Mods.

You are really grasping at straws here, your pro-illegal Republican Cannon is circling the drain.

Chris Cannon voted for H.R. 4437.

And John McCain is against wasteful spending.

So what's your point?

You're the one siding with 95% of the Rat senators (I assume you're in favour of Bush's amnesty (not amnesty)) so take your own advice!

Uh EEE, it wasn't a Washinton Times poll. It was a Salt Lake Tribune poll. And I am the one who is attacked for not having reading comprehension.

Anyway I posted all of the Utah-3 Republican primary media polls, unlike the Washington Times, which also left out Jacob saying that satan is thwarting his campaign and his amnesty "fastpass" plan.

Cannon's vote for HR 4437 was a political move. Had he voted against it, he would have been railroaded out of the state GOP convention instead of fighting for his political life as he is now.

Nah, I'll take James Sensenbrenner's advice. Congressman Sensenbrenner is endorsing Chris Cannon(per reply #18 of this thread).

If the WashTimes is reporting it, it means that Cannon is in even more trouble than originally thought and the other two polls are bogus.

Anyway I posted all of the Utah-3 Republican primary media polls, unlike the Washington Times, which also left out Jacob saying that satan is thwarting his campaign and his amnesty "fastpass" plan.

The WashTimes didn't report it because (A) Utah voters don't give a damn about Jacob's remarks (B) Jacob plan is not an amnesty plan but a proposal similiar to what's in the Pence plan.

Are you in favour of Bush's amnesty (not amnesty) plan? If you are, wouldn't the fact that 95% of the Rat senators and 100% of the RINOs voted for it and most of the conservative republicans voted against it tell you that the Bush plan is not a conservative (let alone a good) plan?
