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...

[oyez]

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.

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.

[SandRat]

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.

[Rate_Determining_Step]

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.

"That's an old story. I just don't have any comment," said James Carville..."

LOL How can this be an old story, James? BTW, you look much better with the wastebasket over your head! Would you please wear it after the election next Tuesday?

One of the first Democrats the Party left behind was.... Ronald Reagan.

[I still care]

I checked the Conservative Union Record on Zell - he has a voting record of 56, which in my eyes makes him a true moderate (unlike Chuckie Schumer, who said he was a moderate with a vote rating of 6.)(This is a scale of 1-100)

By the way, Arlen Spector is in the 40s, which I guess makes him moderate too, but on the liberal side.

"Every honor I've had has been through the Democrats, and I'm not going to knife them in the back," he said."

Honor? ROFLOL, honor among thieves. Zell must be an old school democrat, the kind my grand parents voted for, he is as sick of liberals as anyone else it seems.

"Miller's criticisms are a special problem for Southern Democrats because he has played such a key role in defining the modern party across the region, from his early support of Bill Clinton to his widely imitated lottery for education."

Yeah, I'm sure they all enjoyed hiding behind his coat tail as a politician with an honorable, old fashioned, history, giving the nod to destructive modern liberal agendas to voters who trust him. Seems he's taken his coat off.

"In reality, the region has become "incredibly competitive," with power frequently shifting back and forth between the parties, said John Anzalone, a Democratic pollster based in Montgomery. Alabama, he noted, has swapped the governorship between the parties three times in recent elections."

This is true, the South has a throw the bums out approach to voting out which ever party has disappointed them.

"Georgia House Speaker Terry Coleman said he agreed national Democrats had in some respects "gone too far."

Yeah, so far that he doesn't dare detail in what manner they have gone to far. Treason, curlishness, theft, moral equivalency, the destruction of the nation, and that's just for starters.

"It just seems like the left wing of the Democratic Party seems to garner all the attention, and they've not left a lot of room for national moderates and national conservatives," Coleman said."

Yes, a parade of drunks, murderers, currs, fruits, nuts, and clowns, usually does garner alot of attention.

"I'm an unreconstructed, unrepentant, proud Southern Democrat. And my views have not changed. They've evolved like everyone else's," said former Rep. Buddy Darden, a member of the state Democratic Executive Committee

Nothing more unsightly than an evolving, revolving, democrat talking out of both sides of his mouth.

[ZULU]

"Sen. Chris Dodd of Connecticut, his young daughter in his arms, was approached as he left the Senate floor. Asked for his thoughts, he simply said "no" and rushed onto an elevator."

I believe Dodd started his career as a Limousine Liberal Rockefeller Republican, became and independent, and is now a Democrat. I suspect his co-traitor buddy Jeffords will do the same thing.

[StormEye]

""Every honor I've had has been through the Democrats, and
I'm not going to knife them in the back," he said."

But the DemonRAT Party would knife you in the back
in a heartbeat. That's the character of the creeps
(the Clintons, Kennedys, McAwful, Pelosi, Chicoms) that are
running the party. And what is "honorable" about being a Democrat these days?

[dwd1]

As I said on the other post, Clinton and the party leadership mortgaged the future in 94 and 96 and almost destroyed the conservative element of the party... Not the legacy he wanted.....

[BackSlidenDemocrat]

Can anyone blame Zell with the latest riff between the Democratic candidates over Deans racist, redneck, remark about southerners who drive around in pickups with confederate flags on the back window. I think a good lesson in history is about to happen here that shows what a sham has been going on when they teach about the Civil War in our public schools. Very few Americans associate it with the true issue at hand at the time and that was STATES RIGHTS.

[AmericaUnited]

Zell riles Democrats: Bush endorsement infuriates party faithful

Why?! Because Zell exposes with such clarity thier utter nakedness!

[Gringo1]

Zell has something the other Democrats do not.......a sense of what is right and the will to do it even if it goes against party dogma.

[The Wizard]

Zell Miller is the most loyal American democrat in their party

"That's an old story. I just don't have any comment," said James Carville, whom Miller recommended to Bill Clinton after the Democratic consultant managed his 1990 race for governor, moments before his head exploded.
