""I've taken showers," Jack Kemp loved to say, "with the kind of people most Republicans have never met." "

What the HELL is that supposed to mean? He thinks Republicans don't like to be around 'them niggahs'?

If I had heard him say this I would have been REALLY pissed!

Olympia Snowe might well have wished she could have been in the same shower with Jack Kemp and his buddies but I doubt any of them would agree.

I also doubt any of the football players would agree with the idea of taxing them into penury in their working years.

My daddy taught me not to speak ill of the dead.

I will remember Jack Kemp for the good man that he was. I will remember the good that he did for complete strangers.

I will hope that when I have left this life, others will remember me with the same dignity.

I guess we're not supposed to speak ill of the dead, but this was the sort of thing I detested in Jack Kemp.

Who cares. That means nothing. All the minorities Kemp knew had been to college and were earning top salaries. He did not associate with those in the lower income levels, and who dealt with the most problems.

People forget that, all those southerners living in red stats - that RINOs are so uncomfortable with - know more blacks, have been to school with more blacks, had more black friends, and interacted with more blacks by the time they finish high school than Kemp met in his entire life. Kemp always thought he had far more insight and far more solutions than he actually had.

Bullsh$t....."Big Tent" is code for sell-out of principles. The Republican abandonment of core values and principles IS what has destroyed the Party, and unless conservative values are returned to the Party, it's just Democrat-lite. RINO's are the problem!

For starters, the party needs a change of name.
