Jack Kemp lost me during a VP debate when ALGore said," Jack is one of the few GOOD republcians." Jack just smiled. He should have said -there are millions of GOOD republicans, people who help their negihbors and don't want government help. But all he did was take credit for being good and let us working stiffs roll under the bus.
Newt, Jack and a dozen Republican senators have no idea why the working man and woman like Sarah. She worked her way through college and raised a family to be proud of and did a little public service too. Million of us are doing this and not one damn leader ever seems to mention that volunteers actually get things done to help our country. We don't need or want the governments help.

It was even worse than how you remember it- Gore had just tarred Republicans as being a bunch of racists, except for Jack Kemp. And by accepting Gore’s praise Kemp was implicitly agreeing to Gore’s smear.
Kemp lost me and a lot of other Californians when he and Bill Bennett flew out here during the Prop 187 battle in 1994 and gave support to the pro-illegal alien side. A couple of self-righteous jerks who never had to live with the destruction of their own neighborhoods, but more than willing to inflict it on others.
