This is a rush transcript from "Hannity & Colmes," February 15, 2008.
ALAN COLMES, CO-HOST: ...Former vice presidential nominee and McCain supporter, Jack Kemp, penned an open letter to these critics. And he wrote. quote, "you gave them your best shots and he took it like a man. Now as he head toward the nomination, I urge you to continue to be critical but to do so in measured ways that will not damage his ability to win in November." Joining us now to explain further, Jack Kemp, Secretary Kemp, welcome back to "Hannity & Colmes."
COLMES: ... Are the conservatives who are attacking John McCain or differing with him, depending upon which person you're listing to, what the tone is, hurting the Republican party?
KEMP: No. I, you know, eventually, you want them to be on board a McCain campaign, I think the Bible says very clearly who "he who wrestles with us strengthens us." And I think John has been strengthened by going through this. I hope that as you pointed out, in quoting my letter, that the criticisms are measured here as he comes closer to the nomination so that when he does run against Barack or Hillary, he's not weakened to the point where we end up electing somebody who would wave a white flag to Al Qaeda or end up putting Supreme Court justices on the Supreme Court who are to the left of where the American people are.

The deal with Mc-moderate is this...without a country there can be no policies. I disagree with many of McCains actions and statements, and I will vote in two years after the election in hopes of limiting his actions and helping decide the USSC appointees through a Conservative Congress. But none of this matters compared to safety. Barry HUSSEIN Osama and Shrillary are on their way to destroying our country. Will Barry stand up to the religion of his father and the terrorists that are bred through it? No! Will Hildegarde do anything different from her husband with reducing military size and continually not backing our troops? No! McCain will! His liberaliefs are damaging as we all know. But without safety there will be no policies. Hold your nose...vote against the Two-Headed monster...take a stance on righting the Republican party like it used to be after he is elected! Again...No safety-no country-no policies!!!
Hey, Jack - piss off, I’m not voting for McCain.
To Get Support, One Has To Give Support!
“...uh, Jack. I know Winston Churchill. I worked with him. Johnny McCain ain’t no Winston Churchill...”
Hey Peter:
Thank you for your support.
XOXO
Love always,
B. Hussein Obama
2007’s #1 Most Liberal Senator
Don’t you love it when the politicians blame the voters for causing their candidates to lose instead of blaming the party for running losers for candidates?
Memo to Jack Kemp:
Go find algore and have a nice little “debate” rematch, mmmkay? Maybe you can discuss global warming and throw that debate as well.
“List of non-conservatives:
1) Reagan
2) Bush 41
3) Bush 43
4) Kemp
5) Romney
6) Blah, blah blah.”
Adding to your list:
Steve Forbes, Jack Trent, and Jon Kyl and Trent Lott
Kemp: “Sean, do you think Steve Forbes, Jack Trent, and Jon Kyl and Trent Lott would come on board the McCain camp if he weren’t right on going forward on lowering the corporate rate, expensing all investment...”
But naturally Hillary and Hussein are such fine conservatives, they deserve to be elected, instead of McCain. (/sarc)
Kemp will soon have McCain on the same defeated band wagon as he and bob dole.
Cripplecreek’s response to Kemp.
Bite me.
PS. Also remember that conservatives unhappy with Bush I for not being conservative enouch who voted for Ross Perot gave us 8 years of Bill Clinton and launched Hillarys political career.
As I said, the best kept secret is that conservatives are the best asset the Democrats have. History proved it, but conservatives still dont want to learn that the only thing that matters is the CONSEQUENCES of your actions.
(I am not talking about all the sensible, pragmatic conservatives, only those who put their egos and demands ahead of the wellfare, even the survival of the nation, and throw tempertantrums, enabling Democrat victory and Democrat takeover of the US government all three branches
we do not need RINO leftists trying to shove libs down our throats.
For sure, but I'd vote for Richard Simmons before I would vote for McCain.
I think that is a done deal, a significant number would not believe him.
FoxNews may be the most responsible for the division of the Republican party and the McCain candidacy.
They treated all the conservative candidates like dirt.
Rudy and McCain were given special treatment.
But naturally Hillary and Hussein are such fine conservatives, they deserve to be elected, instead of McCain. (/sarc)
_______________
Lol...naturally.
I forgot to list Haley Barber (Mississippi Governor) as one of the closet liberals who support McCain. You know, the good people of Mississippi that voted for ole Haley are about as liberal as they come. Down there, they are more liberal than the good people of Vermont./ sarcasm.
Your choice is McCain vs. Hillarobama.
It’s time to wake up and smell reality.
Any conservative not voting for McCain is effectively voting for Hillarobama. Do the “conservatives giving their lives in theaters of war for their country” want to have their sacrifices be for NOTHING?!!! Because that is exactly what will happen if either Hillary or Hussein will become president and Commander in Chief of the US.
Yup, those dirty rotten Conservatives.......
The Democrats outnumber Republicans by over two to one at the polls, thanks to all those moderates and independents who aren’t loyal to any cause but their own.
So let’s make the party more Liberal so they will like us more and have something they want....candidates like McCain are a start...... s/
You know the sarcasm and exaggeration things you use on every post? Not real effective. Just sayin'.
Sounds more like he's digging in than reaching out. Conservatives will get nothing but disrespect and abuse from McCain.
