#2 It seems as though all the reasonable thoughtful people are leaving us too soon. Do they know something we don't??

#3 Thanks for your service Jack. You were a loyal and faithful servant. WolfDog....I recall the old saying "only the good die young." Guess that doesn't say much about me. :(

#5 Decent and generous person.

The Kemp-Roth act of the early 80s was an important generator of economic growth in that decade.

However, in his later years he coauthored a goofy report on Russia with John Edwards, worked Edwards on some phony baloney poverty workshops, worked with a fellow who was one of Saddam's oil-for-palaces accomplices, supported a number of Farrakhan initiatives and had a number of goofball things to say supporting amnesty for illegal aliens (disguised as immigration reform).

#6 Lest we fergit, BILL CLINTON widout solicitation person admitted to stealing two POTUS elections by fraud - only God knows how the US-World would've been under a GEORGE HERBERT second term, or a POTUS DOLE + VPOTUS KEMP.

IIRC POTUS NIXON back in the early 1970's once proclaimed "THERE WILL BE NO WHITEWASHING OF THE WHITE HOUSE/PRESIDENCY", or words to that effect ala the then-budding WATERGATE investigation - ALONG CAME THE SO-CALLED "MONICA AFFAIR" WHICH IMO WAS THE NPE'S WAY OF PDENIABLY "WHITEWASHING" A MORE SERIOUS INTERNAL EVENT OR CRISIS, AND DONE SO IN ORDER TO PROTECT USGovt INTEGRITY/
CREDIBILITY.

#7 Back in the late 1970s, my father thought Representative Kemp would one day be president. A shame he was wrong. May his memory be for a blessing.
