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.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Still pimping Sensenbrenner. What if Tancredo had endorsed Cannon? You'd then say Cannon is being paid off by the Buchanan/Tancredo PAC and go into a coma.

[Dane]

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

LOL! IOW, if the New York Times or Wash Post is reporting only one poll, then the other two polls are bogus.

Dude, I don't if you are naive or deliberate, but as of now I would put my money on the latter.

[Free Dominoes]

That's what I figured. It would have been political suicide to vote against it, so he voted the right way for once (on immigration).

[Dane]

Still pimping Sensenbrenner.

Well if you are saying that Sensenbrenner's endorsement of Chris Cannon is "pimping", so be it.

I'll let readers on FR decide if Congressman Sensenbrenner(in your words) is a "pimp".

[Dane]

That's what I figured. It would have been political suicide to vote against it(H.R. 4437), so he(Cannon) voted the right way for once (on immigration)

So when are you going to start your tancreepite jihad against J.D. Haeyworth, who voted against H.R. 4437.

Whew, this is great entertainment watching you all do your sidewalk contotionist routine.

Someone tell me why Hayworth voted against HR 4437. He seems to be against the illegal invasion of America.

[Spiff]

Cannon is supported by and endorsed by the racist, pro-marxist National Council of The Race (La Raza) because of his support for their radical agenda.

Despite his recent outright lies about his position on border security and immigration reform, Cannon's voting record on these issues are atrocious:

Voted on House floor against amendment to HR 4437 to end visa lottery in 2005

Cosponsored legislation that includes provision to increase chain migration in 2005-2006

Voted against amendment to prohibit immigration increases in Free Trade Agreements in 2005

Voted for sanctuary policies for illegal aliens in 2006

Voted against amendment to end special amnesty for certain Central Americans in 2006

Voted on the floor of the House against amendment to require implementation of entry-exit system in 2005

Voted on House floor against amendment to clarify local law enforcement's authority to enforce immigration laws in 2005

Voted in favor of sanctuary policies for illegal aliens in 2005 H.Amdt. 288 to HR 2862)

Voted in favor of sanctuary policies for illegal aliens in 2005 (H.Amdt. 138 to HR 2360)

Cosponsoring bill to reward illegal aliens with amnesty in 2005-2006

Voted against amendment to increase interior enforcement in 2005

Cosponsored bill to create an amnesty for illegal agricultural workers in 2005-2006

Voted against enforcing federal laws against sanctuary policies to protect illegal aliens in 2004 (H.Amdt. 655 to HR 4754)

Voted in favor of sanctuary policies to protect illegal aliens in 2004 (H.Amdt. 583 to HR 4567)

Cosponsored amnesty for Colombians and Peruvians in 2003-2004

Cosponsored so-called guestworker program to create amnesty for illegal aliens in 2003-2004 (HR 1684)

Cosponsored bill to reward illegal aliens with in-state tuition rates and amnesty in 2003-2004 (HR 1300)

Cosponsored bill to reward illegal aliens with amnesty in 2003-2004

Co-sponsored bill to reward illegal aliens with in-state tuition rates and amnesty in 2001-2002

Co-sponsored legislation to grant amnesty to over 2 million illegal aliens in 2002

Voted FOR Section 245(i), a form of amnesty for illegal aliens in 2002

Voted in favor of a four-month extension of Section 245(i) in 2001

Cosponsored bill to create an amnesty for illegal agricultural workers in 2003-2004

Voted AGAINST killing pro-illegal-alien Section 245(i) program in 1997

Cannon deserves to be defeated in the REPUBLICAN Primary election.

"ACU 100% rated conservative, Chris Cannon"

If his ACU ratings are so high (and that may true)
Why is he in a runnoff with a novice?

It is because he has been Bush's point man on the open borders policy
and amnesty and it looks like Citizens in Cannons district don't agree.

[moehoward]

wow

Eventually, they wil move upward and take the jobs of your sons and daughters
and your friends sons and daughters jobs. By the time you realize it, it will be too late.

[Dane]

Below is the link to the recorded House vote on H.R.4437. You will notice Chris Cannon Is a "yea", J.D. Hayworth a "nea".

As I aksed you before, when does your jihad against J.D. Hayworth begin?

[tennmountainman]

Thanks for the great research Spiff!!!

Your hard research speaks alot louder than the polls being floated here!

FACTS! Not opinions!

[tennmountainman]

You might want to take a look at his voting record as researched by Spiff.

FACTS. Cold hard facts. No lies.

[Robert A Cook PE]

Interesting. Particularly with Mexico's el jefe presidente coming up to actually campaign FOR the guy....

(Well, not exactly, but he DID leave Mexico to make a major speech in Utah SPECIFICALLY about immigration, right?)

[Dane]

Uh Spiffy, when does your jihad begin against J.D. Hayworth begin?

He voted against HR 4437, unlike your "anti-christ" Chris Cannon who voted for it.

I'm going to post the link to the roll call vote again.

[Spiff]

As I aksed you before, when does your jihad against J.D. Hayworth begin?

As soon as a stronger Republican candidate on immigration reform and border security presents himself in the Republican Primary in Hayworth's district. That's not going to happen any time soon as Hayworth, despite his unfortunate vote on 4437, is one of the strongest on this issue in Congress. Hayworth, a conservative Republican, is a member of the Congressional Immigration Reform Caucus and enjoys relatively high ratings from border security and immigration reform organizations despite the hit that the heavily weighted voted on HR 4437 did to his scores.

Now, stop trying to change the subject.

"With "conservative" friends like who needs enemies"

Enemies? You should be thanking those of us who protested against the Harriet Miers nomination. Instead, we got a proven Justice with a conservative record.
His name is Samuel Alito.

[Dane]

Why is he in a runnoff with a novice?

Because the Utah nominating convention was inundated by one issue zealots, who it seems would rather throw out a 100% ACU conservative(Cannon), for a candidate(Jacob) who thinks his petty adversity(i.e not getting enough campaign contributions) was caused by and singled out by satan.

[Dane]

As soon as a stronger Republican candidate on immigration reform and border security presents himself in the Republican Primary in Hayworth's district.

Yeah right, and the Pope is Jewish.

You all are so transparent in your animus towards 100% ACU rated Chris Cannon.
