...Democrats' interest in Black Americans is "the biggest sham in the modern history of the country," says Kentucky delegate Al Brown, pausing to cheer for Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Jack Kemp. "The Democratic party has no greater love for African-Americans than does the Republican party. However, they have given all of the lip service, all of the unworkable social programs...
...American people have suffered enough in 30 years of the Reagan-Bush-Quayle-Kemp administration," Carter says. "It's time to take America back from the destructive, visionless Republicans...

Rollins worked for Reagan in 1980 and 1984, then ran Jack Kemp's ill-fated 1988 bid for the Republican presidential nomination. Still built like the high school wrestler he once was, Rollins is a nuts-and-bolts political operative who, friends say, was restless in the private sector and still angry at an Administration that had never embraced him.
