The 1996 bill was the result of a ten year effort kicked off by this:

And tonight I ask you to give me what 43 Governors have: Give me a line-item veto this year. Give me the authority to veto waste, and I'll take the responsibility, I'll make the cuts, I'll take the heat. This authority would not give me any monopoly power, but simply prevent spending measures from sneaking through that could not pass on their own merit.

Ronald Reagan 1986 SOTU

Both of the Texas Senators sponsored over a BILLION dollars in earmarks in 2008-2009.

Kay Bailey Hutchinson was bragging that she had raided the treasury for over nine BILLION dollars.

They are anything but conservative.
