I don't have to contact my senators to stop voting for earmarks because they fight for their elimination every day. My senators, especially my senior senator, have been fighting wasteful spending for years. My senior senator backs up his conservative values with actual deeds. He doesn't pander to special interests and buy votes with earmarks. His conservatism isn't all talk but actions. I am proud of my senior senator. His name is John McCain.

     I am sick and tired of the self-professed conservatives bashing anybody they deem not qualified to carry the conservative flag. Read the Reagan Diaries and remember history. You, so called, conservatives bashed Reagan. Before his election and his first years in office Reagan was not considered conservative by the same people today who rip into candidates they say aren't worthy.

     If there were talk radio and the internet before the 1980 election we might not have had Reagan to look back on as the standard of the conservative movement.
