Zell Miller is what southern men used to be...an interesting Democrat. Bless 'is heart!

[Guillermo]

Now with Gephardt saying he doesn't want the votes of those who wave the Confederate flag...

Gep don't have to worry 'bout me.

Of course the Democrats abondaned the new South. They prefer the old South as that is how they operate these days.

[Cicero]

I suppose if he had jumped ship right after the last election and become a Republican, something like Jim Jeffords, they would have praised him--not.

Somehow or other the news media haven't given Miller the same attention Jeffords got. I wonder if that shows some sort of bias on their part? They are, like the Democrat politicians, studiously ignoring him, in hopes that few voters will notice.

Let's face it, if JFK were to run for President today, he would be a Republican candidate. This speaks as much for the Democrat Party's drift to the left as much as the Republican Party's drift to the left. In government, conservatism is dead.

To the Dims, it's "The Agenda Uber Alles".

The current RAT party is the party of the homosexual activists, the environmental whackjobs, the corrupt union thugs, the insane women of NOW, the scum-sucking trial lawyers, the welfare cheats, the Jerry Springer watchers, the incompetent and failing teachers, the minority victicrats, and the anti-American anti-war zealots.

[doug from upland]

I forgot the leftist college professors.

If they are torked now just wait til Sen Zell Miller comes on stage to campaign for Bush/Cheney. There better be lots of ambulances around the Dem HQ with cardiac qualified EMTs in them. They be needed.

[Hazzardgate]

Turcoat Jeffords gave the Democrats the Senate.

[Torie]

All in all, a bit much, and some of which I dissent to, but you are more right than wrong, which is why I concur that the Democrat party is currently in a desquamate mode. That is not heatlhy for the polity.

Now with Gephardt saying he doesn't want the votes of those who wave the Confederate flag...

Gephardt said that?

[SwinneySwitch]

I think JFK was a lifetime member of the NRA!

Give 'em Hell, Zell!

[Guillermo]

"I don't want to be the candidate for guys with Confederate flags in their pickup trucks," Gephardt said in a statement. "I will win the Democratic nomination because I will be the candidate for guys with American flags in their pickup trucks."

Washington State had a good conservative Democrat in Henry (Scoop) Jackson who was fiercly anti-communist.

And end of an era. Now, save Zell (and maybe Breaux) they're all pink.

[Jorge]

Thanks for the quote.

That statement alone loses him the support of many, many southerners. Gephardt isn't to smart.

[Guillermo]

Imagine a Republican saying "I don't want to be the candidate of those who were FUBU clothing."

Zell is on Arkancide watch! Jefford's had courage and Zell is a turncoat, according to PravdABDNC.
