America's faith in freedom has been reaffirmed. With the re-election of President Bush, America recommitted itself once again to expanding freedom and promoting liberty. Only the 1864 re-election of Abraham Lincoln, the 1944 re-election of Franklin Roosevelt and the 1980 election of Ronald Reagan rival this victory as milestones in the preservation of our security by the advancement of freedom.

Only the 1864 re-election of Abraham Lincoln, the 1944 re-election of Franklin Roosevelt and the 1980 election of Ronald Reagan rival this victory as milestones in the preservation of our security by the advancement of freedom.The war was practically over by the 1944 election. What the hell is he talking about?
It's time to remember now that he's still a Democrat with a heavily statist bent. One can appreciate his stand in favor of Bush, but that doesn't mean his words should be taken as any kind of gospel.

Is this the article that Sean read today on his talk show?
To: inquest
In November 1944, the US was still looking at the monumental task of invading the Japanese home islands, an operation that was expected to cost the lives of more than 100,000 American soldiers, sailors, airmen, and marines.
To: inquest
I'd hardly call the war "almost over" in November, 1944. The
Battle of the Bulge hadn't even taken place yet.

Alright, brainfart on my part. But I still don't know exactly how essential Roosevelt's reelection was to our victory. What evidence does Zell or anyone else have the Republican candidate wouldn't have done just as well or better? The Republican might not have completely sold out to Stalin.

Hey, I appreciate a 'repost', as I can't stay online 24/7. So a repeat of some significant pieces benefits me as I may catch at least one of the postings. Who's complaining? Not me!

Zell's Got the beam and he still needs to lead. I'd like to see him on a ticket for President or vice-President. He is an outstanding individual and a Marine. He has the dicipline.

The lefties don't get it.
Monitoring DU (until they shut it down, I feel that they simply will never get it. Zell Miller gets it.
He is a man who issued a stern rebuke to his party, and was very courageous in telling the truth......yet I see that the left is still asking questions about what went wrong.
I would trade Zell Miller for a couple of our RINOS in a minute.

The most important part of the 1944 election occurred when Southern Senators got FDR to replace Wallace as VP with Truman. We might have lost the Cold War before it started if Wallace had been President instead of Truman.
