W. Cooke of the National Review<\/a> sat down with Tim Knight and Luke Wagner to talk about the recall elections in Colorado.

A lot of people are very upset about being ignored, so finding vocal moral support hasn\u2019t really been a hard sell. <b>There\u2019s a lesbian couple that\u2019s been very happy in helping us.\u201d I raised my eyebrows at this. \u201cI start there,\u201d he adds, \u201cbecause people say to me, \u2018Well, they couldn\u2019t possibly be interested in helping you.\u2019 Well, sure they can! They care about protecting themselves, too.\u201d<\/b><\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>A desire to protect ones&#8217; self is not limited to white, conservative, male heterosexuals. Likewise, being ignored by those that supposedly represent you in the various legislatures pisses people off including more than just gun rights advocates.<\/p>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;\" class=\"sharethis-inline-share-buttons\" ><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Charles C.
