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.

Frankly, considering Bush's longstnding tendency of reaching across the aisles, this isn't particularly surprising.

"I can't imagine what they hope to get out of Zell Miller -- do they really think they need help with angry white males?" said Brad Woodhouse, spokesman for the Democratic National Senatorial Committee.

Within a few years the Republicans and the Democrats will be one big happy family and one giant political party. Zell knows this, as does the Bush administration.

This is what the open borders policy is all about. Who ever rules in America will rule the western hemisphere politically.

Since Ed Koch is supporting Bush also and is the former Mayor of New York, they should let him speak too.

HA!HA!...w/All these Nationally Known Democrats stumping for GWB...Maybe, the GOP should have a "American Democrat" Night @ the Convention this time. :))

Me thinks the Dems would be more compassionate, more caring, more understanding,,,, ah forget it.

They hate a turncoat just as much as we would. Anyone remember "Brady?"

I think we'll see Ron Reagan at the Dem Convention.

I'd be utterly shocked if he wasn't there.

He reminds me of the "alternate definition" of credit (see below):

Definition of Ron Reagan Jr:
---saying what we don't need,
---with credibility that he doesn't have,
---appearing at a convention that I won't watch.

...alt. definiton of credit:
--buying what you don't need,
--with money that you don't have,
--to impress people that you don't like.

His Followers will be Zellocrats.

There are millions of zealous, life long Democrats who are lost,leaderless and fearful. What will become of me? What must I do? Will daddy or grandaddy kill me for having such thoughts? Will the union forgive me?

The Zealot will offer forgiveness, soothing words, kind and conservative thoughts, all wrapped up in forgiveness. The way will be lighted, straight and narrow. All the Zellocrats have to do is follow.

I expect they will.

In his speech, Zell Miller should remind voters that Kerry WILL raise taxes if elected. WILL, not MAY.

Besides Miller I wonder how many other democratic senators will vote for Bush or Nader but not JOKER.

They might not advertise it but me thinks that Lieberman and Breaux maybe a few other will secretly vote for Bush.

For other reasons look for Hilary to vote for Bush too.

Democrats expressed outrage yesterday on learning that Mr. Miller would go so far as to address the "enemy's" nominating convention less than a month after the Democrats are expected to nominate John Kerry to head their ticket.

If THAT statement doesn't profess party before country to the point of the liberal minded public to question the DNC's lack of country's concern I don't know what will!

Lest we forget, the polls show Bush and Kerry neck and neck and this election will be a close one! /sarcasm

Ah, the POLITICS of FEAR, DIVISION and HATRED (the essence of the Democrap Party) is all they have to offer!

The Democrap Party should be renamed the Al-Quida Public Relations Representatives! They sound like the Tom Kean Follies!

Interesting...Dubya can get Zell to give a speech for the Republican Convention,
but Kerry can't lure McCain to the second highest spot in the land (even if it's
"worth a bucket full of warm spit").

Maybe this is a sign of a turning tide...at a "Time For Choosing".

Watch the Democrats line up a New York Republican...
a weeping widow from 9/11...and give the "Michael Moore"
type of endorsement for Kerry....this is the modus-
operandi of the old/new/half-ass Democratic party with
a few well placed Soros coins..courtesy of the biggest
four-flushers since Clintoon spread his manure around...
Terence N. McCaulife...Jake
