There is no indication in your posts anywhere that you supported anyone before Jacobs' second-place finish except at that post, where your only indication of your opinion was you were glad that Cannon was pushed into a runoff -- you didn't seem to care about the person who would run against him.

These may have been your opinions, but you didn't see fit to share them with anyone.

The following interchange occured on May 21 just one week after the Utah convention. I am aware that this was not before Cannon had been forced into a runoff, but I think it IS before tancredo/Buchanon announced their support for John Jacob...and the rest is history.

Seeing as Cannon's lifetime ACU rating is 97% and his ACU ratings for the last two years are 100% each, I'm wondering which of his votes make him a RINO?

I wonder why we would let the ACU make our decisions for us. I think if you met the candidate John Jacobs and put his values of conservatism against those of Cannon, you would find Jacobs to be the more fiscally and socially conservative.

Issues that were discussed by Cannon, during the campaign leading up to the GOP convention, simply highlighted his stances...more government inclusion into our lives through "social programs," some of them being specifically geared toward illegal immigrants. He also exhibits a lack of fiscal constraint by these same programs.

His opponent, on the other hand, comes accross as more conservative. It was not just a vote against Chris Cannon, but also against another former Congressman from Utah, Merrill Cook. Of the three candidates John Jacobs shined in his conservatism. He is a self-made, independant, strong willed man, who has brought himself up by his bootstraps and cannot be "bought." John Jacobs is simply the better candidate....I don't care what the ACU tells me....And that is what grassroots politics is all about, meeting the candidates face to face, talking with them, examining there character and their record.
