Zell Miller, on Dennis Miller's show, gave me an idea

[ComerPerro]

Miller and Miller, two sellouts to Bush...

Anyway...

Zell Miller said that service in Vietnam (and essentially the past) isn't important for this coming election. He said that what would really be important is what the person did after 9/11.

Well, I gotta say, I couldn't agree more. Let's run on this issue.


Let's see, what has Bush done since 9/11....

He pushed through the patriot act, which weakens our civil liberties, by envoking the memory of 9/11.

He has failed to bring those responsible to justice.

He has resisted the committe to invesitgate 9/11, he has denied them necessary funding, and he has classified essential documents in the name of national security.

He has started a war with a nation that posed to imminent threat to us, and the reasons listed for the war have been now proven to be false. In his rush to war, he has spread our troops too thin, cut their pensions, reduced combat pay, and is detracting from the "war on terror".

He has spent more money annually than anyone in history, and is posting the largest deficits on record, to the tune of half a trillion dollars a year.

He asks our citizens to sacrafice for a common good, yet he has annually passed tax cuts for our wealthiest citizens, who are sacraficing nothing.

He has allowed a murderer who spread mayhem throught the country by sending anthrax through the mail to go free, and now we have a similar attack by someone using ricin.


I could go on and on...

But ultimately, Zell Miller is right. What matters for this election is what people have done since 9/11.
Right now, as usual, Bush is a http://www.whitehouse.gov/president/gwbbio.html">miserable failure

2. You watched Zell Miller on DENNIS Miller?

Do you hate yourself or something? I can't even watch the talking heads anymore - esp. sellouts like that. I'm all about TiVO, moviewatching and donating to Clark.

4. Yeah, well, I was feeling brave

I had just listened to a bit of Michael Savage while going to the store, and watched OReally while eating. So, I was feeling a bit bold.

But now, I need several showers.

5. I started watching it....

but then I realized I just had dinner and did not want to give myself an upset stomach...so i read Paul Wadlman's new book on Budh....good read.

3. The good news is that the GOP is running scared

The very fact that Zell Miller is out there trying to spin for Bush on AWOL is important

[ComerPerro]

7. They are doing a damn good job of spinning AWOL

They are pretending that we are pissed because Bush was in the TNAG, and not actually in Vietnam. So the rhetoric we are getting is along the lines of, "There is nothing wrong with serving with honor in the National Guard..."

True, there is nothing wrong with it at all.

I just wish Bush would have, you know, served honorably. I wish he had enough respect for that duty to actually show up.
