Rep. Chris Cannon, R-Utah “Precocious” Pages Egged on Foley…
What the hell? The longer I live in Utah the more I am embarrassed by our national political leaders. For example Chris Cannon has gone from being a questionable representative to being the Chris the Fool on the Hill. Cannon believes and has publicly commented that Congressman Foley should not bear all of the blame for allegedly sending sexually explicit messages to House pages. KSL Link
Rep. Chris Cannon, R-Utah said, "Frankly, this is the responsibility of the parents. If you get online you may find people who are creepy. There are creepy people out there who will do and say creepy things. Avoid them. That's what you have to do. And maybe we can say that a little more to the pages."
The Congressman also said some of the pages were "precocious" and suggested they were guilty of "egging" Congressman Foley into sending inappropriate email.
Rep. Chris Cannon, R-Utah: "You know, these kids are actually precocious kids. It looks like, just maybe, this one email was just a prank, just a bunch of kids sitting around, egging this guy on, you know. So, uh, the world's a complicated place, and we just have to do the best we can."
So Chris does it make it ok to do any of the following:
Rape someone because they looked “attractive”? After all it was their fault for being attractive. Murder someone because “egged me on to kill them” Or maybe rob a bank after all the money made me do it..
Suck it up Chris… Everyone knows that it is only one person’s fault here and it case your too dim witted to realize it, it’s Foley’s own fault for being a pervert. It isn’t the pages’ fault and it isn’t because Mark Foley is an alcoholic nor is it because of being molested by a priest or any other silly excuse. It is his own poor judgment and choice that did this.

I generally vote straight party- republican. Chris Cannon's comments are so repulsive I have not other moral choice than to vote democrat this time.

: 9:35 AM I saw on TV debate between him and his democrat opponent. With regards to raising the minimum wage, Chris said something like "no one in Utah County makes minimum wage!...people need to go out and get an education, get a job at McDonald's...." ummmmm...last time I checked, starting pay at McD's is minimum wage. What a moron! Does he think the drive-thru attendents make $20 an hour???? Does he really think no one in Utah County makes minimum wage? REGARDLESS of how one feels about the minimum wage issue, this man should not win based on sheer stupidity of his comments.

: 9:41 AM I too, will not vote for Cannon.
Did you see his blunders on KSL's interview last night? They were classic. I don't remember off hand what exactly he said but a viewer asked him a simple question and he went off on a rant that wasn't even sort of related to the question. He seemed very out of touch.
Unfortunately I am not supportive of raising the minimum wage. I don't think its the answer... I would rather invest (public or private through tax incentives) in education and job training for those who are adults for whatever reason are still making minimum wage.
