In an unprecedented move, President Bush's campaign has scheduled a prominent Democrat, Sen. Zell Miller of Georgia, to make a prime-time speech to the Republican National Convention in New York.
Mr. Miller, who gave the keynote address at the 1992 Democratic convention that nominated Bill Clinton for president, has agreed to address the Republicans in prime time, possibly on Sept. 2 when the delegates will nominate Mr. Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney to head the ticket once again, confided a Republican with close ties to those planning the convention.

I think we'll see Ron Reagan at the Dem Convention.
That's a solid lineup. I know folks here hate McCain, but he has his useful purposes, and this is going to be one of them. He is going to campaign hard for GWB. If Lieberman had any integrity, he would too!
Very good point.
Leaving the democRats is like leaving the "Scientologists." And for the same reasons.
DemocRats are a quasi-religious cult.
They have a secret, patent-pending, copyrighted solution to the problems of human existence and personal salvation. Pledge allegiance to their dogma, swear fealty to the party machine, and your problems will disappear.
Of course Senator Miller had a standing invite to speak at the Fleet Center next month. </fantasy>
Daschell will be more or less deeply saddend and Kerry, Kennedy will belittle the 15 point Bush landslide as the product of hung chads and nasty absentee votes from overseas. I am sure that the Supreme court will be blamed as well.
Meanwhile the Democrats will get Kennedy and Gore calling their opponents Nazi's and Brown Shirts, stupid and evil. Promising to pay for everything, paid for by taxing only the "rich" (anyone with a job).
And they can't figure out why they are about to get creamed.
Ouch!! If you're a Dim, that's gotta hurt!
The Democrat Party of today is nothing like the Democrat Party of years past, as Senator Miller has pointed out. If you were from the south, you had to be a Democrat. Senator Miller's Democrat Party consisted of good, hard working people who were generous and willing to help out a neighbor. They went to church and sunday school and their children were polite and said "yes sir" and "no sir". They weren't involved in unions. They grumbled about high taxes and government intervention in their lives. And then one day they realized that their party had left them. And they all became Republicans. It happened all over the South. The only Democrats left in Texas are "yellow dog Democrats" They view their world through their yellow tinted prisim and are unwilling to see the world any other way.
The Democratic party of today has nothing but contempt for most Americans, including those of their own party.
Zell Miller loves America and is a man of principle, something the Democratic leaders sloughed off long ago in their determination to 'be like France.'
Give'em heck, Zell :)
Since Ed Koch is supporting Bush also and is the former Mayor of New York, they should let him speak too.
How much you want to bet Peter, Dan, and Tom talk thru Zell's speech or the networks won't show it at all. If McCain is saying nice things about Bush they'll cut away then too.
His book, A National Party No More, shares a place in my bookshelf.
Who is this racist from the democrat party? He needs to apologize to White people and angry people everywhere.
There are a lot more democrats crossing over than the DNC realizes. Many of them will tout the party line and then vote for President Bush.
I was told by several longtime party and political honchos last week in a liberal la-la land that the democrat party has gone so far to the left, it no longer resembles anything even vaguely familiar. They like Bush, and they approve of the way he has handled his tenure.
I don't trust that guy, he's got the biggest ego in town, and that's saying something!
Outraged? I doubt it. Deeply saddened? Sure.
