Shamnesty Republican Chris Cannon defeated in Utah primary
Every time an immigration enforcement proponent loses a seat in Congress, the open-borders Wall Street Journal and their ilk use it to argue that Republicans need to support shamnesty to maintain political viability. The WSJ falsely framed the 2006 midterm election losses of GOP Reps. John Hostettler, Randy Graf, and J.D. Hayworth as electoral rejection of strict enforcement of immigration laws–conveniently ignoring the fact their opponents campaigned to their right on the issue.
Well, what will the WSJ and company say about what happened today to one of their favorite shamnesty/DREAM Act shills, GOP Rep. Chris Cannon? The six-term incumbent went down in flames in the Utah primary, defeated by Republican Jason Chaffetz–an underfunded political newcomer who made opposition to illegal immigration, rejection of amnesty, and support for tough deportation policies a top campaign issue. Cannon outspent Chaffetz 7-to-1 and had the entire GOP establishment from the White House on down backing him.
Cannon’s open-borders supporters can spin it all they want. They’ll shamelessly accuse the same voters who stuck with Cannon for six terms of incurable bigotry. But the simple fact is that voters finally got fed up with Cannon’s constant water-carrying for La Raza and MALDEF (watch him proudly boast, “We love immigrants in Utah. And we don’t oftentimes make the distinction between legal and illegal. In fact I think Utah was the first state in the country to legislate the ability to get a drivers license based on the matricula consular and of that I am proud.”) They got sick of the lies and arrogance (for my personal experience with the bloviatingly crude, rude, and clueless Cannon, see here.) They got sick of Washington business as usual.
Now, this is real hope and change from a real maverick–a Republican running unashamedly and unequivocally as a conservative:
He favors deporting illegal immigrants, abolishing the Education Department and cutting a slew of federal programs unless they can prove they’re working.
Via the Salt Lake Tribune:
Jason Chaffetz’s promise to change Washington, starting with Rep. Chris Cannon, resonated with Republican voters, who appear to have ousted the six-term incumbent in a Republican primary tonight.
“You rock, and you rocked the Republican Party,” Chaffetz told supporters gathered in Springville, shortly after polls closed. “We’ve done this all with volunteers, with no free meals and no polling. We’ve done it the right way. You can never convince me that one person can’t make a difference.”
… Chaffetz fell 10 votes shy of eliminating Cannon at the Utah Republican Convention, forcing him to a primary. Cannon out-raised Chaffetz by nearly 7-to-1, had the endorsements of President Bush and Sens. Orrin Hatch and Bob Bennet, and spent tens of thousands of dollars on polling.
Message to pro-immigration enforcement, anti-amnesty, pro-secure borders forces: Yes, we can!

Just in from the NRCC:
T-03 (R, Cannon)
In a Republican stronghold, Jason Chaffetz defeated incumbent Rep. Chris Cannon in Utah’s 3rd District. After a strong showing at the Republican Convention in May, Chaffetz ran a grassroots campaign that centered on changing the way Washington does business—a theme that will be equally pertinent during the general election in the fall. Jason Chaffetz proved he is a tough campaigner with an effective message. There is no doubt that he will be the next representative for Utah’s 3rd District.
Jason Chaffetz attended Brigham Young University, where he was the place-kicker for the BYU football team and earned his degree in Communications. Chaffetz later served as campaign manager and Chief of Staff for Governor Jon Huntsman.
History: The 3rd District was carried by President Bush in 2004 with 77% of the vote and in 2000 with 75% of the vote.
Geography: The 3rd Congressional District is located in the central and western parts of Utah. The district includes all or part of the following counties: Beaver, Juab, Millard, Salt Lake, San Pete, Sevier and Utah Counties.

Yes indeed!
Tiny correction - I think you meant “backing” not “baking” though he did get roasted.
These idiots just don’t get it, do they? Shamnesty is what defeats them. Don’t they ever learn?
Oh. Wait.
Sorry. Dumb question.
Please don’t ban me for too long.
One down, a whole Congress to go. Anyway, it’s a start.
B E A U tiful!
Whoa—Chaffetz ROCKS! More politicians like him, please!
Finally some good news in the fight for the soul of the Republican Party. I confess I have been rather pessimistic as of late, mainly because of a certain Arizona senator, but primary victories by Chaffetz and Tom McClintock offer a glimmer of hope.
The GOP keep telling conservative -patriots that they have to
VOTE for the LOTE (in other words-do as we tell you!)
Utah voters –you did well–you like freedom - I can see!!
Here’s some interesting factoids about Chaffetz. I apologize if I’m the only one who didn’t know this–but if I’m not, read on: Chaffetz used to be a democrat, but seems mainly due to family connections. His dad at one time was married to Kitty Dukakis before she had met and married the MA gov. Which exlains why he had been chair of “Dukakis for Utah.” Sounds like the family really was the influence more than anything else.
He eventually figured out that his political leanings really didn’t match the dems, and while he was in the process of deciding that his leanings were really much more conservative, he cemented his convictions when he heard Ronald Reagan talk in person at an event he attended.
Welcome to the fold, bud. Glad to have ya’ and may you be joined soon in congress with other like-minded individuals!
There’s still some life yet in Republicans.
This is great news. Hopefully the Republicans will see that this is a sign and start actting like conservatives
Every little bit of good news is most welcome.
This “good news” is only an exception. Wish the white house selling out the country to abyone with a peso or a petro-dollar, GOP has nothing to show for itself except greed and corruption. If GOP cared, it would support a patriot Tom Tancredo, R-CO. Not that Chaffetz’s victory is anything to be be-littled.
Hearty congrats to both, an American champion and to Utah voters!
Just say NO to open borders…get that chief?
Politicians of UTAH, from both parties, sell their voters out: http://ourcaucus.com/
Lesson: Politicians are where money is.
If there was only some way of getting this news to McCain…..
A Ronald Reagan Conservative!?!?! We need more. The RINOs that are leading the party are taking it down a rathole. RR transcending party bringing Conservatives of both stripes together. We need another RR (and not 4 years of a Carter, er, Obama!). And McCan’t ain’t it!
Great news for conservatives everywhere! Let’s all fan the flames of this victory and get it to spread throughout the country.
I couldn’t find anything online at WSJ, going out to find a hard copy. Hope to at least see the facts there.
At last, a bit of good news for conservatives!
Jason Chaffetz for President !!
Seriously, here’s a guy McCain should learn something from. Jason Chaffetz is the true maverick in the Republican party.
I am glad you stayed up late for this story Michelle. It is the best political news we’ve had all year.
Go Jason Chaffetz!
Send them home one at a time…one at a time…We can do this…
Now….let’s hope McSpain hears about this.
Reality check anyone?
Congrats to the folks in Utah who threw out the RINO. It’s too bad the people in SC sent Lindsey Grahamnesty back to Washington for 6 years. Stupid is as stupid does.
It’s early yet but this could be the feel good story of the day.
Be it illegal-immigrtion or terror, booting out corrupt and timid politicians is the only answer. Congratulations to Utah voters for learning their politics well!
Congratulations, again!
Wish someone like Chaffetz would run here in Virginia. We could certainly use him. Maybe he can run on stopping the tax increase for transportation, by taking the money we pay out for the illegals to settle “comfortably” here, and using that.
McCain threw his ex-wife under the bus. You think he cares for Americans?
My Senator, Saxby Chambliss is running for re-election in November. If he loses to some democrap, the State of Georgia, and the nation will hurt. Senator Chambliss is a strong preponet of secure borders and no amnesty.
It does not matter which party the politician comes from, as proven here: http://ourcaucus.com/
What matters is their record on “issues”.
And we are stuck with Juan McAmnesty…
Note to Martinez the sell out in Florida, see-ya!
I’m not sure if it will change their viewpoint, but I do know that the WSJ is having a major reshuffle of their editors. Their EIC, Thomson, is still there so perhaps the tone won’t change.
Or perhaps Rupert has had enough of this kind of stupid anti-common sense reporting.
Good News! wait for it, wait for it…
No! It’s still Good News!!! yay!
Wow! The people are waking up! Or, at least, they’re not in as deep of an unconscious state!
I like the quote on the front page of Chaffetz’s website.
Imagine a Republican candidate that is “guided by the Constitution”, “committed to integrity and personal responsibility”, “loyal to” his constituency, and “dedicated to conservative principles.” What a novel concept for a Republican these days.
I agree with Michelle…
Now, if only I had a representative like that here in my district in TN.
I’m liking Jason Chaffetz more and more, as I read over his campaign website.
I like his “Right Plan for Immigration“.
I wonder what the chances are of enticing him to East TN?
Crash and burn Cannon… oh wait, that already happened.
Congrats, Utah and Chaffetz! We need more like you.
Good news to hear. Chaffetz is just doing the jobs other Americans wont do.
Glad to see a victory on this one, maybe something will change there for the better.
Here’s hoping.
I believe this is how we’re going to take our Party back. One election at a time.
When Lindsay Grahmnesty won in South Carolina, illegal alien supporters said that showed Republicans like and support them.
How will those same people spin this?
That’s why conservatives must concentrate on getting their local conservatives elected!!
Let the messiah have the presidency. He won’t be able to turn into the anti-Christ if congress is truly conservative. Not republican or democrat…. Conservative!
Michelle, why are you awake at that hour of the morning?
Or in other words kick possumus in the buttimus.
It is RINO season it is, no bag limit. A Republican running as a Republican, now that is a plan. Thank you Mr. Chaffetz and Mr. Cannon Will Not be missed.
Restores my faith and makes me believe again. Kinda like Christmas in June. Yee. Hah.
That’s right baby PRIMARY these jerks and send them HOME!!!!
Great news and thanks for letting us all know Michelle!
What great news.
How funny that his former step mother was Kitty Dukakis, thanks for the info #9.
In any event, I really am happy about this election. It’s great news. I wish Juan would get a clue as well.
Polls show that immigration and domestic oil production are winners by a long shot in the up coming election. Now, if only the Republicans are smart enough to use these issues.
Great News out of Utah …
For those that read my post (#15) in the “What the McCain campaign doesn’t need” thread yesterday which outlined what we needed to do to take back our government … this falls right into step 3 of the 3 step plan I presented …
It really will work folks …
I hope that Senators Hatch & Bennett are watching closely
Wonderful news! So many posters on this thread get it and those dolts in DC don’t have a clue. We lost two seats in the south because the Dhimms outconservatived the RINOs. I made the word up so if anyone else wants to use it feel free.
As has been posted by me and many here, concentrate on your local elections. If we can get good conservatives back in office it will not matter who is sitting in the whitehouse.
My wife e-mailed to congratulate him and got a personal reply back from Jason Chaffetz in less than 20 minutes. She’s trying to entice him to run in a few years for president.
So glad to see an incumbent driven away. I’m not voting for any incumbent, including Tom Tancredo, who has been a HUGE supporter of enforcing immigration law, but for all his rhetoric, he has done nothing. I’d like to see term limits which, IMHO, prevents entitilement entrenchment and accepted bribery by elected “reps”. I am glad to learn that Utah conservatives did not re-elect an incumbent, especially a RINO one!
I must admit that I knew nothing of this election out in Utah. Suffice to say, that I am going to be studying the entire history of this primary and the message that Chaffetz successfully implemented and HOW it was implemented… this is great stuff and needs to be cultivated ….quickly!!!
You can’t get banned for dumb questions #3 or the trolls would never get back on.
Come on Illinois, let’s get rid of Dick “turban” Durban. Go Conservatives !!!!!
While we are at it, I have an idea, get ride of Obama and all his Chicago cronies. Vote Vote Vote Early and Vote Often.
It is outstanding to finally see a RINO thrown out on his butt. I am very happy for the folks in Utah and only wish I could say the same about firing my questionable Congress critter Simpson, but he won easily in Idaho. Hopefully this is the pebble rolling down the hillside that starts the landslide to clean the RINOs out of Congress so we can actually get someone to start shrinking our bloated government, lower taxes, protect our sovereignty, and come up with a realistic and workable energy policy hopefully by letting the private sector solving the problem.
Congrats to Chaffetz! Here’s wishing him luck in office.
Amen to that!
As with truly progressive, thinking, African Americans who figured out what it means to be American and not a victim, growing numbers of successful hispanics identify themselves not as Mexican or “latino” but rather as American. Once that sea change happens in the heart of man, no amount of lies or race baiting can turn them from the truth. Let’s just hope the Democrats and marxists don’t succeed in destroying the American dream first.
In the meantime, let’s get rid of these pandering country club RINO dinosaurs as quickly as possible.
LMAO. Love it. But don’t expect the RNC to make changes. They will find some other reason for the loss. Afterall, they are 100% sure they have the winning strategy of pandering to the open borders groups. It would take about 100 of these primary victories with every single supporter of the winner saying it was because of illegal immigration, then maybe, BIG MAYBE, they would get the hint. But I doubt it seriously
Well, I don’t know why Bush supports RINO incumbents, like Cannon and Specter, against conservative opponents.
The charitable answer is they think the incumbent has a better chance to win. The un-charitable answer is that Bush is himself a RINO.
Too late now, but perhaps the real conservatives in the party should huddle up before primary season in 2012, and hash out which one conservative has the best chance of winning, so we don’t repeat the situation of about 5 real conservatives and semi-conservative splitting the base vote, while the one RINO pulls in independent and Dem leaning voters in the early primary states.
I sent money to Hunter, I decided based on personality and biography, he was more electable than Tancredo. Can you imagine if Tancredo had thrown his support to Hunter early? Might have made a difference.
Late in the game, a lot of people (like Limbaugh) encouraged people to vote for Romney, because he was clearly better than McCain, but whether it was his fairly recent position change on abortion, residual anti-Mormon bigotry, or just that McCain had built too much momentum and his buddy Huckster stayed in the race to skim off religious conservatives and voters uncomfortable with Mormonism who would not vote for a RINO like McCain, it was all too little and too late.
Scariest rumor in a while- McCain considering Kay Bailey Hutchison, our country club Republican Senator, as his running mate.
She isn’t a RINO in the league of Collins, Snowe, Hagel or Specter, but she isn’t a real conservative either.
HOLY COW! REALLY?! What a breath of fresh air amidst the stench of usual D.C. manure. Wow. A Republican with real gonads.
Lord, may his attitude and beliefs multiply throughout the land!
There’s hope…a small spark, but hope, nonetheless.
Hoo-ah!
Henryinga,
Didn’t Chambliss support the Amnesty Bill last year? Maybe he converted after the people handed him his arse, but I doubt it if he’s a “strong proponent of secure borders and no amnesty”.
The spin will be ‘it was Bush’s fault’, and that he lost ‘because of his attachments to Iraq’. They they will explain how people want ‘change’ and ‘hope’ and bla bla bla ….
…an angel gets its wings!
Whoops! I read that wrong. let me try again-
Every time an immigration enforcement opponent loses a seat in Congress, an angel gets its wings.
The biggest problem facing this GREAT COUNTRY, ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION. The incumbent crowd of SHAMNESTY BACKERS doesn’t see this. Well, MR. CANNON does now. Could be a wake up call to the rest of the RINOs out there. 60% to 40%, MR. CANNON, that was not a defeat, that was officially an ASS WHUPPIN’. GOTTA LOVE IT. SI SE PUEDA, YES WE CAN!!!
Let me tell you folks, this was a hard fight! Too many of our fellow republicans here in Utah blindly stay with incumbents long after they’ve proven their worthlessness. Jason Chaffetz worked his bum off to just squeak by in the local convention. Cannon threw the kitchen sink at him. But the word was getting out, especially just before the primary when Cannon voted in favor of the Merida initiative.
Just a couple of personal eyewitness reports… our little town had its summer celebration parade just recently… Cannon rode in his luxury “staff car” waving to the crowd while his children surrounded him almost as if a security team… while behind him some ways, Chaffetz was on foot walking the parade route shaking hands and mingling with the crowds… In local radio interviews Cannon repeatedly stressed all of his experience and programs he supported… Chaffetz continually referred to his support for the constitution, fight against illegal immigration, and support for core conservative values while proving to the public he could run a fight against Cannon without any campaign debt!
Yesterday at the polls there was hardly a soul in line… the apathy of the voting republican public is very obvious this election year… which means every vote counts!
Get past the McCain problem… and start focusing on electing conservatives who can outvote the RINOs!
Hmmm. Wasn’t Rush a placekicker on his team? And doesn’t Rush hold a Doctorate in Communications?

K.B. Hutchison is a loser. She’s a Sen. from my state.
When I applied for V.A. med. benefits, I was refused. I asked both Hutchison and Cornyn for help. Cornyn responded promptly and within a short time I got a letter from the V.A. establishing my benefits. Three (3) months later, I got a questionaire from K.B. Hutchison asking everything but my shoe size. She’ll never get my vote for ANYTHING.
.
Yayah! My only regret is that I’m not in his district, so I can’t vote for him. (I’m in the 2nd Congressional District, while Chaffetz is running for the 3rd.) I was just telling my mom a couple of nights ago how desperately I wanted to see Cannon lose: he supported shamnesty and was one of those GOP establishment types who was waaaaay too cozy with his power. I hope Chaffetz wins two terms, does the best he can, then steps down; Cannon’s six terms is far too long.
Maybe that’s because something happened on 9/11 that captured our attention. Do you recall what that was pueblo?
(Hint: No Mexicans were involved.)
Just curious, but what are you implying? I agree 100% with pueblo. Not just because of securtiy issues from muslim radicals. Most illegal immigrants (95% or more) are hispanic and they too are the biggest problem. No country can allow unlimited immigration, especially unskilled poorly educated immigrants who can live better here off entitelemtns than they can working in their home country. This applies to legal as well as illegal immigants. Eventually, the numbers will degrade the quality of life, stress natural resource, and will break the backs of the middle income taxpayer having to support them. Not to mention, since most are poor and from cultures with a socialist leanings, once they reach critcal mass, they can vote themselves more of the public treasury at will. Eventually, the capital that drives our economy will be be redistributed. So, I don’t really care what country they are from, I see illegal immigration as totally unacceptable, as well as mass legal immigration.
Wait, wait, WAAAAIIIITT, Michelle!!! I thought this whole biz about illegal immigration was a non-issue, perpetrated by nothing but a few of us foaming at the mouth hardliners/restrictionists/nativists. That’s what the WSJ and all of the more reasonable, civilized, “moderates” in the Republican party tell us, along with the McCain fans, with their brilliant campaign slogan “Shut up and get on board.”
Are you telling me that regular voters (as opposed to us mouth breathing nativist troglodytes) acutally care about illegal immigration??? Who knew?
Yes, my fellow Americans, you can. And so it begins.
Hurrah for Jason Chaffetz and the state of Utah! I’m thankful for every small step in the right direction.
#30, henryinga: “Senator Chambliss is a strong proponent of secure borders and no amnesty.”
That’s what he says now, but it’s a position we citizens forced upon him last year, with our calls, faxes, and emails. Remember, he and Senator Isakson were in on the infamous Shamnesty Affair from its secret beginnings. They were right there with McCain, Kennedy, and Bush, trying to sneak one over on us.
We Georgians have our senators under control for the time being, but I don’t trust them any farther than I can throw them. If we were fortunate enough to have real Conservatives run against them, I’d say, “Throw the bums out!”
Can we just send copies, lots of copies, to McCain, and hope that it sinks in?
The media is already trying to spin this! One report blamed the Cannon Loss on Bush, saying that our conservative base in the 3rd District was upset with the non-conservative choices Bush made (although our District has a high support level for Bush).
Cannon is stunned… he says, “obviously the voters are upset about something.”
They just won’t admit that people were voting for conservative values.
Incumbents need not apply. Vote for the anti amnesty politicians.
To DIE HIPPIE, DIE:
You are absolutely correct, no MEXICANS were involved in 9/11… I do consider TERRORISM from radical MUSLIMS a big problem. However I consider ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION a more immediate problem. TERRORISM is 2nd on my list of priorities. The reason you ask? RADICAL ISLAM has already stated “they will take over the world in the name of ALLAH, if it takes 10000 years”. Well, HIP, we don’t have but 15, maybe 20 years to win the “war on illegal immigration”. Because, where I live in PHOENIX ARIZONA, in 15-20 years if you do not speak SPANISH, you will no longer be able to do business… Over reaction, and hyperbole you say. Just a month or so ago my wife was in a local TARGET store. Looking for someone to help. Could not find anyone on the floor who spoke or understood ENGLISH. When she questioned management about this, she was told, “there was nothing he could do,he had to hire these people” Any questions “my HIPPIE BROTHER”??? 15-20 years or 1,000 years???
Well, if conservatives want to recapture the Republican Party, this is how it’s done. In the primaries, one at a time, over a prolonged period of time.
The Republican Party didn’t lose its way overnight, and it won’t be salvaged overnight. But working from within to change it pays dividends for those who persevere.
The trick is not to throw the baby out with the bathwater. I have a “squish” Republican senator to represent me: Gordon Smith. Did I vote for his opponent in the primary? You betcha, even though Smith crushed him. Will I still vote for Smith in the general? Yeah… because reshaping the party is going to take many years, but in the meantime I’ll still take a squish Republican over a donkey. At least the squish “gets it” some of the time, instead of being reliably wrong all of the time — something I can count on in a donkey.
Chaffetz shows the way: if you want to take back the party, it’s going to result not from a thunderclap but a long march instead.
I agree with Boomer..Idaho needs to get rid of both Simpson and pro-illegal, Widestance Craig. Widestance’s days are probably numbered, but replacing Simpson will require a new, charismatic politician like Jason Chaffetz.Let’s hope the winds of change in Utah will blow across the borders into Idaho and beyond. Congrats to Jason Chaffetz..best news I’ve heard this month.
I am looking in my crystal ball to the year 2012. I see President Jindal and his newly elected Vice President Chaffetz! Hope is still alive.
The citizens of America need to take back every congressional seat one at a time till we get congressmen who once again value what Lincoln said: “A nation, of the people, for the people and by the people”
It is about coming into this country legally and protecting our borders.
GREAT NEWS!!
It’s what American citizens, Rep. and Dem., want - see the only poll that offers all three choices.

Man killed in home
JD Hayworth was saying on his radio show yesterday that at least one of thess men said he was Mexican Military. He (JD) also said they were wearing Black BDU’s, helmets, shirts saying Phoenix Police and carried AR 15s. Mexican Military carring out raids in Phoenix. Hmmm, this is not far from where I live.
Yes, he’s stunned that lying about his record and pretending to be conservative right before the election didn’t work this time like it has in the past. Cannon’s ads claimed that he lead the way in the fight against illegal immigration. He certainly did know what voters were upset about and tried to reinvent himself, but it didn’t work. He built his house[seat] upon shifting sand and it fell.
Jason Chaffetz - winning in spite of the Republican party rather than because of…
I wonder how much support he’ll get from the GOP come November…??
McCain should learn a lesson from this, but he won’t. He’ll probably pick Fonzie Rivera as a running mate.
Probably little or none from the national GOP organizations. That is why I support candidates I believe in directly. The national GOP organizations cannot be trusted to support real conservatives. They do no address my concerns when I write to them or respond when I complete their stupid self serving surveys. So I DO NOT trust them with my financial support.
yes!
Support? If history is any guide, he’ll be lucky if the GOP is not running attack ads against him.
I want to print out about ten zillion copies of the news story about this and mail them all to McCain.
“See Mr. Maverick? Conservatism is not dead.”
Actually, Weary Citizen (#75), most of the illegals are not hispanic. We just notice the hispanics more because they are the one who have caused the greatest negative impact with the creation of “press 1 for english”, bilinqual signs, the dumbing down of the education system, crime and demonstrations for amnesty. There is a very large group of illegals who have overstayed their visas. We don’t notice these illegals as much since they can learn english quickly, are educated and don’t commit crimes.
What’s up with the Judges Today? Special order 40 suit tossed. Illegal invaders get another win.
WHAT??????????
