Zell Miller letter

[mkultra]

Have you guys seen this supposed Zell Miller letter. If this is true he is a total moron.


> George Bush vs. the Naive Nine
> By ZELL MILLER

As I live and breathe, and if -- as Hank Williams used to say -- the
creek don't rise, in 2004 this Democrat will do something I didn't do
in 2000. I will vote for George W. Bush for president. I have come to
believe that George Bush is the right man in the right place at the
right time. And that's a pretty big mouthful coming from a lifelong
Democrat who first voted for Adlai Stevenson in 1952 and has voted for every Democratic presidential candidate the 12 cycles since then. My political history to the contrary, this was the easiest decision I
think I've ever made in deciding who to support. For I believe the
next five years will determine the kind of world my four grandchildren and four great-grandchildren will live in. I simply cannot entrust that crucial decision to any one of the current group of Democratic presidential candidates.

Why George Bush?...... First, the personal; then, the political. I
first got to know George Bush when we served as governors together,
and I just plain like the man, a man who feeds his dogs first thing
every morning, has Larry Gatlin sing in the White House, and knows
what is meant by the term "hitting behind the runner." I am moved by
the reverence and tenderness he shows the first lady and the unabashed love he has for his parents and his daughters. I admire this man of faith who has lived that line in that old hymn, "Amazing Grace," "Was blind, but now I see." I like the fact that he's the same on Saturday night as he is on Sunday morning. And I like a man who shows respect for others by starting meetings on time.

That's the personal. Now, the political. This is a president who
understands the price of freedom. He understands that leaders
throughout history often have had to choose between good and evil,
tyranny and freedom. And the choice they make can reverberate for
generations to come. This is a president who has some Churchill in him and who does not flinch when the going gets tough. This is a president who can make a decision and does not suffer from "paralysis analysis."

This is a president who can look America in the eye and say on Iraq,
"We're not leaving." And you know he means it. This is also a
president who understands that tax cuts are not just something that
all taxpayers deserve, but also the best way to curb government
spending. It is the best kind of tax reform. If the money never
reaches the table, Congress can't gobble it up.

I have just described George W. Bush. Believe me, I looked hard at the other choices. And what I saw was that the Democratic candidates who want to be president in the worst way are running for office in the worst way.

Look closely, there's not much difference among them. I can't say
there's "not a dime's worth of difference" because there's actually
billions of dollars' worth of difference among them. Some want to
raise our taxes a trillion, while the others want to raise our taxes
by several hundred billion. But, make no mistake, they all want to
raise our taxes. They also, to varying degrees, want us to quit and
get out of Iraq. They don't want us to stay the course in this fight
between tyranny and freedom. This is our best chance to change the
course of history in the Middle East.

So I cannot vote for a candidate who wants us to cut and run with our
shirttails at half-mast. I find it hard to believe, but these naive
nine have managed to combine the worst feature of the McGovern
campaign -- the President is a liar and we must have peace at any cost -- with the worst feature of the Mondale campaign -- watch your
wallet, we're going to raise your taxes. George McGovern carried one
state in 1972. Walter Mondale carried one state in 1984. Not exactly
role models when it comes to how to get elected or, for that matter,
how to run a country.

So, as I have said, my choice for president was an easy decision. And
my own party's candidates made it even easier.

Note: Mr. Miller is a Democratic senator from Georgia and the author
of "A NATIONAL PARTY NO MORE: The Conscience of a Conservative
Democrat," published last month by Stroud & Hall.





I swear to God it just amazes me what some people will do when you get a little fear in them.

[girl gone mad]

1. He's a Superdelegate..

so, what's he going to do?

I'd love to see that one play out at the convention.

[BayCityProgressive]

2. Zell Miller is an idiot.

The media is giving him 100 times more attention than they gave to Jim Jeffords when he left the GOP and caucused with the Dems.

[ThoughtCriminal]

3. So Zel wants the Dems to nominate Bush?

eom

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

4. May I throw up now?

I feed my cats first thing in the morning, but I listen to classical music, so obviously I am not Presidential material. We have a moron in the White House who says "Bring 'em on" while letting soldiers go overseas without adequate body armor/Humvee armor and who will come home to few benefits and no overtime if they've served 4 years in the military.

Zell, the Dems aren't gonna raise taxes except to take back what the rich stole. The Dems are gonna take back this country and restore our Constitutional liberties. The Dems are gonna win this election and send the Chimp back to Crawfor where he can slop the pigs and maybe even learn to ride a horse, if he gets over his fear of them.

Meanwhile, if you wrote this letter, I suggest you change your party affiliation. We don't need any DINOs here.

5. He's endorsed Bush, so this letter isn't a surprise.

I think ol' Zell got hold of some of that mad cow beef.

[davidinalameda]

6. he and every Democrat who has endorsed Bush needs to be thrown out

of the party and not allowed to serve as a superdelegate or any sort of party official

[Devlzown]

9. I agree.

What kind of reception do you think a Republican Senator would get at their convention if he was endorsing our nominee?

[terrisel]

7. I guess they have a lot on him or senility has hit the Banker.

Miller Family business: Banking

Bush seems to be retreating from Baghdad the same way Nixon finally retreated from Saigon. Remember those people on the roof of our Embassy desperately reaching for the helicopter ladders ?

....and what were the years of murder and mayhem for? We trade with Vietnam now.

Zell Miller served in the Marines and makes a big deal out of it, but I don't think he ever saw combat.

[annagull]

8. Geez, is even Lieberman is too "liberal" for him?

He could have at least supported Lieberman, hell, alot of conservative newspapers did! I think that fact alone shows Zell is doing nothing but talking out of his ass because he is too much of a chicken shit to go ahead and change parties.

[Dob Bole]

10. He has the right to say whatever he wants, but....

I think the main reason he endorsed Bush is this:

We're talking about him right now, aren't we?

[Abigail147]

11. Why does this ignorant jerk get so much press attention?

Georgia's only redeeming quality is Jimmy Carter. These are the people, who still have a problem with evolution as a legitimate biological theory, and they gave us Newt.

All of us should emulate this stupid man, right Washington Post? MSNBC, come-to-jesus Howard Fineman, mentally aberrant Mr. Potato Head Russert, and last but not least that "angry" man, Chris Matthews?

[x-g.o.p.er]

12. My vote negates his

And there are a hell of a lot of more pissed of ex-republicans than there are pissed off ex-democrats.

[Sibanetta]

13. Turncoat Zell

Oh, it's true alright! There is a Hard=To-The Right-Wing Ideologue I know (another site) who LOVES Zell! Says Zell is a "True Democrat"...yeah, if that's the truth, then I'm the Czarina of all the Russias...the guy is a total turncoat and bumlicker! JMHO

14. "Julips and Dixie"!

He has to mention that damn Country "Music" again. He's obviously an idiot. The south is a lost cause. :puke:
