- Why do you single out Christians and conservatives? How many of the
- Colorado voters were Christians? How many were conservatives? If Pat
- Schroeder and the Aspen crowd are any indication, I'd say you are
- really stretching it to even suggest that conservatives have overrun
- Colorado. That leaves Christians, and I'd have a real hard time
- believing that the majority of Colorado citizens are of that
- persuasion. Gee, could it be that the _voters_ made a rational
- decision?
-
- By the way, since most charges like this tend to combine Christianity
- and conservatism, I'd like to know when conservatives got their lock on
- Christianity. Too bad about all those heathen liberals, eh?
