Cancer claims conservative Jack Kemp at age 73
Jack Kemp Dead at Age 73
Today we lost a true American Hero, 7 time All Star AFL Quarterback for 13 Seasons and private in the United States Army Reserve. Jack Kemp died today at age 73 after a long fight with an undisclosed form of cancer.
The nine term congressman from western New York was a model Conservative serving as Bob Dole’s vice president pick during their unsuccessful 1996 republican presidential bid.
Kemp supported a ban on abortion and immigration reform, more than we can ask of most of the so called conservatives currently in the house and senate, Arlen.
Unlike his liberal counterparts Jack believed in sticking to his principles and code of morality he could be judged by. He represented an era of unabashed conservatism that should serve as an example for future “conservative” candidates.
Just as Sarah Palin breathed conservative CPR into a dying campaign late in the 2008 presidential race, Jack Kemp should provide the necessary motivation for a new generation of young conservative minds to aspire to great things, without compromising our beliefs.
Thanks Jack, for 73 great years of unapologetic partisan politics.
