Moderation In Resolve No Virtue

Leftist LA Times reporter Ronald Brownstein is disappointed that the Republicans did not present a more moderate face at the opening day of their convention.

When former New York Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani and Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) were named to headline the Republican National Convention's opening night, most analysts in both parties took it as evidence that President Bush's campaign wanted the gathering to project a message of moderation.

But in their speeches Monday night, Giuliani and McCain signaled that the real mission for the Bush campaign this week was to send a message of strength.


I've got a question for Brownstein and his fellow weanies. How can one be moderately resolute in the face of a foe that is committed to our annihilation?
