Trial balloon (ducking now): Dean should call for Zell Miller's head [View All]

[arendt]

Hey, fractious dems, can we all agree to hate someone
other than loyal Dems??

Here's my proposal:

Howard Dean blazes away at Zell Miller. Demands that
he be thrown out of the party for:

1) saying he will vote for Bush

2) sponsoring the total anti-democratic, if not treasonous
bill that would strip the Federal courts of the right to
intervene if anyone said the magic word "God" or
"Ten Commandments" or "under God". A sixth grader
would never try something so absolutely repulsive to
the Founders of this republic.

Zell Miller is pond scum. The Dems ought to toss him out
of the party. We just had the Mondale (failed) and Lautenberg
(succeeded) last minute Senate runs. I'm sure they could
find someone to run against Miller in the GE.

I'd rather lose Miller's seat with a REAL Dem, than win it
with him. Even if a Rethug wins, we are no worse of than
we are today. And, with a 3-way contest, the GOP would
probably win. Can you imagine the GOP ads: you want an
honest Republican? then vote Zell out of office.

Now, folks who like to complain about how negative us
Dean people are, is this not a positive suggestion? Dean
would be unifying the party, removing a traitor. If Dean's
anger is an "issue", let him use it inside the party, to
clean up the bums on our side of the aisle. Showing some
backbone. Differentiating us from GOP Dominionist
fanatics.

Is there anything wrong with this idea?
