"Well that so called Conservative District elected him in the first place, so it can’t be all that Conservative."

CO Springs is generally conservative on some issues (anti-labor union except for teachers and public employees, religious but "progressive"/romantic) but pretty far to the left on certain other issues (feminism, environmentalism, big government, other regulatory,...). Many in Pueblo are Democrats on social issues and labor/welfare, but they tend to be more against environmentalism, against animal "rights" issues and much more in favor of uranium mining and other production on the Range).

Really, both political parties are influenced by romanticist/"progressive" (feminist, homosexualist, fond of foreign interests) sentiments while being anti-labor, divisive, etc.
