One Utah

Watching KBYU election night coverage. They said 18% of liberals in Utah voted for Hatch. What in God’s name are those people drinking? How can anyone claiming to be a liberal vote for Orrin Hatch? BTW, they’re predicting Hatch to win with 2/3 or the vote.
They are saying Christensen is losing […]

I’m really conflicted on this race. I badly want Christian Burridge to win. On the other hand, I hate to see Chris Cannon get off “scott free” for his particpation in advancing the distructive policies of this congress and the Bush administration (not to mention his own unethical conduct). In a very dark way, […]

From Utah Democrats
Last night at the BYU 3rd Congressional District debate, Republican Rep. Chris Cannon made claims that the President of the United States is hiding a learning disability.

So, either Rep. Chris Cannon is under the impression that a learning disability is something that should be hidden and ashamed of, or, he just joined […]

This could be the easiest $10 you ever made. Give a quick listen here.
Tom Grover and KVNU are giving away $10 A&W gift certificate to anyone who can identify an elected official or advocacy group in Utah that endorses incumbent Congressman Chris Cannon UT-3. The contest runs through tonight. Here’s the audio ad.
KVNU 610am […]

Governor Huntsman refuses to endorse Chris Cannon. So have Utah Senators Hatch, Bennett and virtually ALL other high-ranking republicans in Utah.
Maybe it’s because of Cannon’s endearing pleas of leniency for his former Chief of Staff David Safavian or Cannon’s repeated bigoted comments, or maybe it’s because of Cannon’s own ethics problems that no one will […]

Rep. Jim Matheson: In favor of real-life arbitrary arrest and torture of Americans but against fictional computer games like Grand Theft Auto.
LaVar Christensen: If the Democrats regain control of Congress they will surrender to terrorists, cause rising gas prices and falling moral standards, and even bring back the “hated death tax.” (We’ll be lucky […]

Christian Burridge gave Chris Cannon an ass whoopin’ on KSL, Tuesday I think.
Part I - Part II - Part II
This is the one where Cannon says no one in Utah is on minimum wage and if they are they need to go back to school and get a better job. You can watch just that […]

Article here. Video here.
Rep. Chris Cannon has served five terms in Congress with little to show for it. It’s time for a change.
His opponent in the 3rd Congressional District, Democrat Christian Burridge, is an articulate young attorney who practices consumer law. A former college debate champion, he has both a passion for advocacy and […]

Yep, you heard it here first. Its hard appreciate how mean and hateful Chris Cannon really is, but the more you listen to him, the more it sinks in.

I really want to be nice and talk about how great Burridge is, but then I am overwhelmed with anger toward this Cannon guy. I […]

Whew! Everything was going smoothly during a telephone debate last Friday hosted by the Provo-based Daily Herald until congressional candidate Christian Burridge mentioned Jack Abramoff and Cannon’s ethics problems.
Listen (.mp3) - Listen (.wma)
As if almost on cue, the mention of Abramoff caused Cannon to have a mini-meltdown. Cannon is well versed in the republican PR […]

Christian Burridge

Thank you everyone who corrected my assumption that Cannon’s “gaydar” statement would doom his candidacy. I have since become convinced that based on informal consensus, apparently, bigot-confirming-statements only serve to solidify the perception of Cannon’s worthiness to serve his constituents.
And thanks also to Tim H. for this gem as follows
And don’t miss this winner from […]

In reference to the recent public revelations of Rep Foley’s molestation of a minor, Utah Congressman Chris Cannon is quoted in today’s Deseret Morning News, “You don’t need ‘gaydar’ to understand he has certain dispositions,” Cannon said.
Well, you don’t need “bigot-dar” to recognize a bigot either. You just need to wait. Eventually, the bigot comes […]

…for one simple reason, Christian Burridge is a BRILLIANT lawyer (for the little guy), a brilliant man, and a devout Latter Day Saint. Christian’s grasp of the issues, politics, and public policy is legend. That’s why Cannon refuses to debate him.
On the other hand, anybody with a wit of sense knows Chris Cannon […]
