...convention. I felt the same way, and I have been watching political conventions since 1964, when I was a supporter of conservative Barry Goldwater. If I had been a Republican delegate this year, I would have walked out on Miller's tirade. That would also have spared me Dick Cheney's speech employing the politics of fear. To slot Miller with his venomous attack in the national spotlight as the keynote speaker says a lot about Bush's campaign strategy. Lowell Klessig Amherst Junction...

The implication, of course, is not only that Kerry is a national safety hazard...
...taffy pull continued. For one thing, the President's obvious skepticism about this National Intelligence Estimate stands in stark contrast to his wanton embrace of the NIE he received in October 2002, which said that Saddam probably possessed weapons of mass destruction.
