WHY did Jack Kemp go to Koch and tell him this?? What was in it for Kemp? Sounds kind of school boyish tattle tale.

I don't know Kemp's motivation. And I generally don't like tattle-tales. Perhaps it should have been handled better by Kemp. Certainly Baker should not have said what he said.

The key thing for me, though, is that Republicans need to police Republicans. We don't need anti-semites. We don't need Larry Craig. We pay a price for having those people represent our party.

Good Grief! The Democrats are the anti-SEMITES!! If Jack Kemp was a REAL man, he would have gone to Jim Baker and gave him forty lashes....GEESH....and we are NOT the party of Perverts...the Democrats are!!

Kemp and Baker never got along. Kemp was always very pro-Israel and he was HUD Secretary at that time, which is the position that deals most with big city mayors.

Baker's antipathy for Israel goes hand in hand with the Bush family's closeness to the Saudi royal family. The only reason the U.S. came to Kuwait's aid in the first Gulf War was because of the threat Iraq posed to the Saudis. Baker and Bush 41 could not have cared less about Iraq's threats to Israel.

It’s why so many jews are democrats. The perception has always been that at least they have some influence there.
Too many high ranking republicans have given them ammo over the years.

What some people don’t realize is that Jesus is of Jewish lineage. Our beliefs are based on Jewish heritage. Our fight for freedom and independence goes all the way back to Moses.

Some people can only feel better about themselves when they put others down. That is true of any race. It is a shame.
