GOP aims to pull a 'Dukakis' on Kerry

GOP aims to pull a 'Dukakis' on Kerry: "Minnesota Sen. Norm Coleman noted that liberal filmmaker Michael Moore, director of 'Fahrenheit 9/11,' had a seat of honor at the Democratic convention.
'We had Michael Moore in the presidential box, someone who said Americans are stupid,' Coleman said. 'Michael Moore sits with President Jimmy Carter in his box. Is that the foreign policy coming out of this convention? Does that demonstrate the party's commitment to make tough decisions?'
While Republicans praised Clinton's speech Monday night, they turned on the Democrats Tuesday and claimed they were making false statements about the Bush White House record. The Republicans said Democrats are exaggerating the threats to Social Security, Medicare and a federal program that put extra police on the streets."
