Jack Kemp died yesterday, losing his fight with cancer. Though I disagree with many of his positions, I respected him as a principled and reflective man. Peace to his family.
I agree. In fact the one thing he added to the GOP was a strong sense of inclusion for many folks. Boy they could use guys like him now. He was one of the fundalmentalists that pushed in the 1970's for lower taxes, urging Reagan to institute his significant changes in the 1980's. He had an inclusive and interesting ideas as Secretary of HUD. A very stimulating person...and a good quaterback to boot. Rest in Peace and best wishes to his family.
I've met a ton of politicians, and Jack Kemp was very kind to a stranger like myself (unlike most politicians). He was a phenomenal human being.
