Only the Good Die Young

Arlen "The Rat" Specter this weekend wanted to take a poke at fiscal conservatives by hinting that if only the Republicans would be willing to spend more money on undefined medical research, Jack Kemp "would be alive today".

What unmitigated gall! This is the attitude of a man who wishes to represent the people of Pennsylvania.

This man sickens me more every day. Too bad Jack did not survive his cancer, and worse for the nation that Arlen did.

RIP -- Jack Kemp

It is noted with sadness that yesterday former Cabinet Secretary and Congressman Jack Kemp died of cancer.

Jack Kemp epitomized the true concept of "Compassionate Conservatism". Jack Kemp understood that conservatism was the real philosophy of hope, because conservatism provided opportunity for everyone to keep what they earn, spend as they see fit, and attempt growth and success without burdensome government diktats.

Jack Kemp was a conservative lion of the Reagan Revolution. His voice and optimism will be sorely missed.
