"Greetings, it's me again, giving more advice…."
It was April 17, 2008, and Jack Kemp, the one-time Buffalo Bills quarterback turned congressman, presidential candidate, Bush 41 HUD Secretary and 1996 GOP vice presidential nominee, was at it again.

On tax cuts.
And while he was at it, in typical Kemp style, reminding his fellow Republicans about the GOP's heritage of economic growth -- their legacy from party founder Abraham Lincoln.
Kemp has been recently identified in the six-part Fox News history of the conservative movement hosted by Brit Hume, The Right, All Along: The Rise Fall & Future of Conservatism, as the most important Republican of the late 20th century who never became president. He won that label not because of his titled political positions or a personality frequently understated as "ebullient."

Telling a COMMUNIST to not raise taxes was pretty stupid. With all due respect.
Exactly.
