Jack Kemp Endorses McCain (thought Kemp was a conservative)
Monday, January 7, 2008 8:01 AM
U.S. Senator John McCain's presidential campaign today announced that Jack Kemp has endorsed John McCain for president.
"I am proud to support John McCain for president," said Jack Kemp. "John McCain is the only candidate who can be trusted to cut taxes, eliminate wasteful spending and enact conservative pro-growth policies to expand the economy. John McCain is the best choice to lead America to a more prosperous and secure future."
John McCain thanked Mr. Kemp for his support, stating, "I appreciate the support of my friend Jack Kemp. As an architect of the Reagan tax cuts and champion of pro-growth policies, I value Jack's advice and counsel."
Jack Kemp served as Secretary of Housing and Urban Development under President George H.W. Bush and as a member of Congress from New York for 18 years. A strong proponent of supply side economics, Mr. Kemp co-authored the 1981 Reagan tax cuts and later co-founded Empower America, a free-market think tank. He serves as a nationally syndicated columnist on economic and foreign policy issues.

Can this campaign get any weirder? I used to respect Kemp but this proves he's as wacky as McCain is.
The shark is a tiny speck in Jack Kemp’s rear-view mirror.
(Am I being too subtle?)
Kemp...The “Old Boys Club”
Spring must be early this year, RINOs appear to be in full bloom.
Rush said Kemp is an open borders/amnesty guy like McCain.
Exactly. Hopefully, Kemp’s endorsement is like a political kiss of death.
Yes, Kemp was awful in his debate with Algore, responding to almost every question with variations on supply side theory. It was so pitiful that even Mr. Optimist, Rush, couldn’t put a shine on his rotten performance the next day.
I recall having such high hopes that he would attack clinton for Dole after he was nominated and talked about running the ball down their throats to victory.
He was worse then pathetic.
Not around here, IMO.
John Q Buffalo Bill continues his legacy of disappointment (no offense Buffalo!!)
A lonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnng time ago I liked Jack Kemp. What the hell was wrong with me?
Kemp is the only one who does. He will be definitely be lonely out there on the campaign trail.
Dope/Hemp
Was Kemp the driver of the getaway car when McManiac and friends robbed the bank?
You mean Jack French Kemp?
Senators and former Senators stick together.
I don’t know. Can I take back my work on his behalf when he was running for president many years ago?
Jack who?
This is great. Now we eat Jack Kemp, one of the greatest spokesman for “Reaganomics” in the 1980s.
I’m an old New Yorker. I liked Jack Kemp, too...way back when. He kinda went out of the Public eye for a while (and I think there was a Public Housing scandal)...and simply lost his popularity.
