After a battle with cancer, Jack Kemp has passed away at the age of 73. I pray he was right with the Lord.

This was the amazing part that stuck out to me in this story...

Through his political life, Kemp's positions spanned the social spectrum: He opposed abortion and supported school prayer, yet appealed to liberals with his outreach toward minorities and compassion for the poor. He pushed for immigration reform to include a guest-worker program and status for the illegal immigrants already here



So even though he had core principles.. he appealed to Liberals. Amazing and shows how far we have skidded down the slippery slope.
