'Shamnesty' RINO falls on his horn....

Utah Republican Congressman, Chris Cannon, was whupped 60%-40% in his party primary by a youngster who ran against Cannon's RINO stand in support of Shamnesty for illegal aliens. Conservative on most score cards, but failing on the immigration question cost him his seat.

That's not a story you've seen on your MSM (main stream media), have you? They are quick to point out conservatives that lose elections because of their strong stance on immigration, but not the other side of the coin. And losing a primary by twenty points when you are a six term incumbent is of landslide proportion.

We've all heard that old expression that you can tell when a lawyer is lying; "When his lips are moving!".... but when a 58 year old, six term lawyer congressman says in an interview with AP;

"I'm actually pretty happy about last night's results," Cannon told The Associated Press. "I think I'll be able to do many of the things I would ordinarily do in Congress on the outside without having to suffer the sort of difficulties that come with that job."

...it give a whole new level of meaning to that expression about lying doesn't it! On the other hand, his elation over getting a spanking hasn't led to his endorsing the new Republican nominee, Jason Chaffetz yet! I reckon he's just partying too hard celebrating his loss....
