President Carter just validated Zell Miller's view of the current Democratic party. Party first, Country second.

Exactly! Zell just said that the reason he was at the Republican Convention, the reason he was supporting George W. Bush is because he feels it is in the best interest of his family.

Yes, it is sad. Anyone who keeps up with politics and history knows that the ideals that were once so highly respected in the Democratic party of long ago are now the ideals of TODAY'S REPUBLICAN PARTY. The dims are somewhere way out in left field - NOT representing the general American.

BINGO!!!!! WE HAVE A WINNER

Until I heard Zell, in an interview before the RNC, I didn't think there was one Democrat with an ounce of integrity. All I ever saw were Democrats stonewalling everything, not based on principal, but based PURELY on partisan politics. Zell Miller confirmed everything I have seen. He has not left the Democrat Party, the Democrat Party left him.

When I was growing up, I was taught to be a Democrat. I was fed the Democrat KoolAid. But Ronald Regan switched me to a conservative (note: not a Republican). My thought for a period of time was that Party didn't matter. Character of the individual mattered. And then I realized that an individual politician has to be backed by a party in order to accomplish anything. Thats when I became a Republican. In todays Parties, I believe there is still one Party, that for the most part clings to ideals, the Republicans. And one Party that clings to partisanship and power, the Democrats.

Zell has been a Democrat his entire life. Back when some politicians still valued character and integrity. He was away from the national Democrat Party for about 20 years, I believe. When he came back, it wasn't the same as when he left. Zell feels his Party was hijacked, and he wants it back to what it was. I wish it was to. I might disagree with alot of their stances, but at least it would be two parties trying to accomplish something to benefit this still great country, instead of one trying to benefit only their Party, and its socialist cause.

This really is the key point on this little exercise. This needs to be pointed out again and again.

Yep. Perhaps Jimmy "Malaise" Carter needs to listen to Zell a little closer.
