"True, but my rather pessimistic view point is just how many values voters are there anymore?"

70 million Evangelicals is the last count I saw and most vote Republican. Add 45 million gun owners who also vote mostly Republican.

But what the heck, run them out of the party by nominating Fruity Rudi and hope he can steal every rat vote from Hildabeast.

In all fairness, there is a large overlap between Evangelicals and gun owners. But it is a large number, something the liberal wing of the GOP (Ken Mehlman) would like us to forget.

In my thoughtful opinion most VOTED Republican. Have you heard of Pastor Gregory Boyd? Or how about Pastor Rick Warren going to Syria, North Korea, and kissing Senator Barack Obama from his church pulpit during a large conference there. This is turning into a much larger movement than most know. Sorry for saying so but let the ignorant be ignorant. Not meaning you of course.
