I’d like to tell one of my favorite Jack Kemp stories. He’s in Congress, on the floor making remarks about taxation or something. His wife and a young daughter are in the gallery. Some man behind them harrumphs, “What does he know about economics? He was a football player.” The daughter turns around and says, indignantly, “My daddy wasn’t a football player: He was a quarterback.”As others have said today Kemp did for Bob Dole's campaign what Sarah Palin did for John McCain's. He fired up the conservative base, but unfortunately as in Palin's case, wasn't able to push the top of the ticket past the Democrats.
Kemp was a good example of how conservatives should operate, and his example is one that needs to be followed today.
