Mike Lee has voted along conservative lines several times recently.  The number of Senators in the Senate that are worthwhile is shrinking.

There might be 20 people (I'm feeling generous) in the Senate worth spit to a conservative.

You're being overly optimistic.  You'd be lucky to find half that number in the Senate and House combined.

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."     -Ayn Rand-
