You know how many conservatives get disgusted with the fact that 90% of the black population votes Democrat election after election, and how so many on the right are quick to point out that the Democrats "take them for granted"? Do you think the same can be said for many conservatives with respect to the Republican Party? I certainly do.

I must admit, that is a compelling point. I hadn't thought of it that way before.

I'm not saying that there aren't Republicans for whom I would vote. In fact, I was more than happy to cast my ballot for Bob Schaffer in the 4th Congressional District here in Colorado. He's one of the best Constitutionalists in the entire Congress. Unfortunately (actually, fortunately), he won't be running again next fall because he promised to self-limit himself to three terms. He's keeping his word (though there were MANY in the GOP leadership in the House who tried to persuade him to break his promise) and not running.

The good part is there are at least three VERY conservative Republicans lining up to run for the GOP nomination. I'd vote for any and all of them, and am having a tough time deciding who to support in next summer's primary. The good part is the the election is basically decided at that point because of this district's makeup.

On the flip side, we have Ben Nighthorse Campbell in the Senate. Not even gonna get started on him. Wayne Allard is better, but only slightly so. I wouldn't vote for either of them (and haven't).
