Jack Kemp is just the remedy for Bob Dole's struggling campaign for the presidency [THE REPUBLICANS, Aug. 19]. Kemp offers the vitality the Dole campaign needs to defeat the charismatic Bill Clinton. A longtime supporter of Reaganomics, Kemp is well liked among conservative Democrats. His record with minorities will help Dole attract the minority votes he needs. As the election approaches, Kemp will prove to be the wisest choice Dole could have made. SETH FINCK Jacksonville, Florida Via E-mail...
This combination of Dole and Kemp shows two men so eager, so desperate for power that each has jettisoned his most deeply held ideas. This ticket offers the worst of both worlds: Kemp's economic ideas and Dole's social agenda. ROSALIE L. TARABINI Fort Bragg, California...
...Walter Mondale in 1984 said a tax hike might be necessary, and lost to Reagan in a landslide. George Bush's 1988 "Read my lips, no new taxes" pledge earned him the White House. Clinton's 1992 offering of a middle-class tax break all but assured his victory. Dole's promise of a 15% tax cut is unachievable. Its only purpose is to garner votes. For the sake of American politics, let's hope that this ploy doesn't work. RAJU GOYAL Phoenix, Arizona Via E-mail...
Kemp represents inclusion, compassion and ideas. Together, Dole and Kemp represent victory, and will send Clinton and Gore packing. GERRY DICKINSON Mount Pleasant, South Carolina...
...Dole seems to be a decent, caring, hardworking man. We should all have his perseverance. Will he win in November? Probably not. It's not very often that a nice guy finishes first. CHRIS GRAVES Manakin-Sabot, Virginia Via E-mail
