A vote for a Democrat is a vote for the likes of Barney Frank chairman of the finance committe who said FM and FM were doing ok a month before they collapsed. All our problems came to us the last two years. Who was in charge? I thought the Dems ran Congress. Now we are to vote for Obama who wants taxes up. And we don't have enough spending we are to have a trillion more of that? The problem with the Republican Party is not the conservatives, but the RINO's. I do not perceive Jason as a RINO

Okay, for starters, all of our problems did not occur in the last two years. It is more like the last 16 years. Both parties' administrations have contributed to this problem. Yep, back in the "glory days of economic prosperity" of Clinton, the beginning of this crisis was underway. I received an e-mail about it and, before someone tells me to check my facts, I did. This article was published in 1999 by the New York Times. Here is a link to NewsBusters, but if you don't trust that, go to the NY Times archive. The article is there as well. Both parties have caused this problem and need to find a way to solve it. Although, I am not convinced that bailouts are the answer. http://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/p-j-gladnick/2008/09/25/1999-ny-times-article-revealed-true-cause-current-fannie-mae-crises

So, we should just throw in the towel because there may be a majority of Democrats in DC? If we are for returning to the core Republican principles of fiscal responsibility, which got away from the party in recent years, we don't roll over and play dead. We send someone to Washington who can help solve the problem. If we become complacent and only vote the way we think everyone else will vote, that is surrendering our right to think. Jason Chaffetz has run a fiscally responsible campaign. That was something that impressed me in the Primary and the situation hasn't changed. If he can do that in a hotly contested Primary as well as the General Election, then he can do it in office.

Mr. Hawker, or anyone else, may endorse the Democratic opponent, but policies not endorsements determine my vote. With the economy on everyone's minds these days, voters need to take a closer look at Jason Chaffetz fiscal policies. I think they'll like what they see.

Throw in the towel??????????? I am talking about picking it out of the toilet!

Did you enjoy how Cannon's votes helped Utah? NOT!!!!!!That is the reason he got the boot not because of Chaffetz's brillance.

Hell the voters would have picked a chimp if he had a (R) in front of his name (and still it would have been a wise chouice).

I was a state delegate. I voted for Jason then, and also for the primary. I have tried to be supportive since.

Jason doesn't have any paid staff/people helping him, as far as I know.

I was planning on having a sign up in my yard and voting for him again.
