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.

That makes two of us!
lol...I’d say. *shaking head*
It seems that McCain has invoked these names in hopes that THEY will reach out to voters. I suspect that perhaps that is because the arrogant McCain is going to refuse to actually seek conservatives. He will demand that we flock to him...
The Republican hierarchy decided long that Mc Cain was to be the Republican nominee. Th hell with who the people wanted.
Another member of this forum told a another member who thinks as I do words to the effect of if you do not like it leave. I took this to mean me also.
If the Republican hierarchy want Mc Caine let them elect him.
As far as I am concerned ,it will be a family fight between Mc Cain and which Democrat gets the Democrat nomination. The end result will be a Democrat in the White House. Whether they will have a D or R after their name remains yet to be see.
This Kemp thing just PROVES beyond all doubt that this already failed campaign will flop bigger by far than DOLE/KEMP!!!
I have a right to vote that people died for and I'm greatful, but by golly, I also have a right not to vote for some lump-jawed liberal trying to act like I am gonna be compelled to hold my nose and vote for him!!!
In fact, in America I have every right to do whatever David Gold thinks is juvenile and stupid, whether it is, or isn't! In fact I resent and feel contempt for anyone who feels compelled to try to compel me to vote for ANY particular person or candidate! It's my business and I'll do as I danged well please, thank you very much!!!
WE’re screwed.
That's a pretty good benediction there, McGee!!! The country clubbers have finally wrested control of Reagan's Party away from us peasants with pitchforks... Sad day in the mornin!!!
Oh my goodness... I didn’t notice what an old thread this was! Thankfully, you didn’t leave that last erroneous reply just lying there!!!
Jack Kemp is another “elitist” Republican who wants amnesty for illegal immigrants to exist for cheap labor purposes.
Yes. Sierra Wasp shortened that for us to “WASS”
We are sooooooo screwed!
Yep... I thought about posting a vanity, but figured it was better here.
I notice that it was pinged to the “McCain List” in post #70 and none of those folks showed up to praise the endorsement of Mr. Kemp (small consolation.) On the other hand, the list-keeper hasn’t bothered to respond to my post #74, either, (evidence of apologetic behavior, IMO.)
FR and Talk Radio is becoming less and less relevent. Rather than looking at what may be wrong with our message, we would rather just say the World is Wrong. Enjoy the Pup Tent of politics.
Pray for W and Our Troops
He’s for cutting spending.
Vote solid Republican tickets and help to being the GOP back together.
He's for redirecting spending--into his own pocket.
I do not believe McQueeg is going to get the support of the conservative base—it just isn’t there. He’ll be lucky if he can just manage to pull in the faux conservative vote. It won’t be enough.
He deserves no such support from conservatives as he is antithetical to the very word.
He'll get a few off FR. Pfftt.
