Too Deceptive for Presidency

To the editors:

It's good that Gary Bauer was challenged for his hypocrisy. He's willing to take on China's human rights abuses, but promotes the idea that gay people should be treated as second or third-class citizens. Bauer supports the use of lies and deception to get what he wants, despite the legitimacy of what that want is. With the country's present state, do we really want to elect another president who will use any and all forms of deception to reach personal goals? GARY RIMAR   Romeo, Mich., April 15, 1998
