From Bill Dew (Matheson’s opponent):
According to the study, Jim Matheson votes 88% of the time with Democrats, nearly as frequently with his party as Chris Cannon votes with Republicans, a clearly partisan trend that has increased in the recent two years. Conservative Republicans in the House such as Bobby Jindahl and Jeff Flake vote less (only 83% of time) with their party than Jim Matheson votes with Democrats.
Jim Matheson bugs me. I’m sure he is a nice fellow, but his ads make me cringe because I know he is lying through omission. His ads claim he is an “independent” voice but the data shows something else.
I’m sure Bill Dew is going to lose. He’s run a poorly organized campaign. He is actually far more representative of Utah than Matheson, but because of Matheson’s last name, Nancy Pelosi gets one more vote for her madness.
I won’t vote for Matheson, but I’m sure a lot of suckered gullible Utahans will.
