He was ahead of his times, I think. No one really saw things the way he did once he was gone....certainly not paul ryan who became just a little toady for the left.

Ryan, believe it on not was a Kemp understudy. I expected better of him.

Back in 1988 I had an official picture of Kemp hanging up at my laboratory workbench, just as a conversation starter, when he was running in the primaries.

Some may have a memory of one of those primary debates when Kemp declared straightforwardly -- "If George Bush is elected President, the Reagan Revolution is dead."

How right he was.

FReegards!

Why would you have expected better? Remember Kemp's lame performance against Gore in 1996?

yep was well aware of that, which is why I noted that ryan was NOT his successor.

I was a Kemp man in 88 for sure.
