It was part of what he said when we saw him just a few short weeks before he died. His talk was a great one, lively and informative. He said that quote with great emotion and showed his anger towards those who savaged her. I still have a signed book from him and remember our personal conversation fondly after he gave his speech. What a great, great warrior he was. He thought highly of her, spoke of her as our best candidate (this after she had announced she wasn’t going to run), he understood what she brought to the table.
Dear God, he was a great man. We know God holds him dear. I hope he is somehow watching over our TEA Party movement and adding guidance if he possibly can. :)
I’m so happy you were able to meet him and spend time together.
