MANASSAS, Va., Aug. 10 /Christian Newswire/ -- Richard A. Viguerie, Chairman of ConservativeHQ.com, issued the following statement, regarding the Republican primary results in Colorado and Connecticut:
"In Tuesday's Republican Senate primary elections in Colorado and Connecticut, the voters favored candidates who are unfettered to Washington Republicans.
"If elected in November, Ken Buck and Linda McMahon will increase the members of the small government constitutional caucus in the U.S. Senate.
"Republican primary voters are continuing to move the Republican Party significantly to the right. The 2011-12 Congress is likely to be the most conservative ever.
"Thanks to President Obama, Speaker Pelosi, and Majority Leader Reid, the conservative movement has been re-launched stronger than even in the Reagan years."
