Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada should be replaced by a conservative who respects the Constitution if we are to survive as a democracy.

Currently there is a candidate in Nevada leading Senator Reid in recent polls. Danny Tarkanian, who is such a conservative, has a 14-point lead right now..

His principles are with and for the American taxpayer, and he is against the bailouts and the socialization of America by the Obama administration and liberal senators like Harry Reid. Mr. Tarkanian has become Senator Reid's worst nightmare.

Senator Reid and the Democratic mentality of business-as-usual in Washington must be defeated if we are to survive as a free nation.

Looks like the people in Nevada and those across this great land of ours will wake up and support the Constitution and conservatism and defeat senators like Mr. Reid whose principles are on the wrong side.
