Can anyone tell me why enormous pressure is not being put on Senator Miller to "come home" to the Republican party and return the Senate to the Republicans and the American people.

You already gave the answer:

Senator Miller committed a fraud upon the people of Georgia: he ran as a Democrat and then, after assuming his office, changed to Independent, although he often votes with the Republicans. (If he was a real mensch, he would have resigned and then run again.)

Think about it... :0)

I'm 99% certain he's a Democrat.

Miller is not an independent. He is a democrat. He has some good values, and is more of a republican than a democrat when it comes time to vote. But... he still cast a vote for Tom aschle to be the Senate Majority Leader.

I think he'll change to the GOP one day, but he is a democrat today.

Zell has never presented himself as anything other than a dem. I am not a Zell apologist...I did not vote for him. But he has served Georgia well in the Senate. He promised to represent all of Ga and he has done a fairly good job.

But he is a democrat. And a liberal one at that--but our view of liberal is not Shumer's view of liberal, which is why he votes GOP at times.

Uh, Miller has always been a Democrat. He was appointed to the Senate to fill the remainder of the former Paul Coverdell, who died suddenly while in office. Miller then won a non-partisan race for the remainder of the term, which expires in 2004.

I just finished writing to Mr. Miller, I'm a Georgian and I'm proud of him.
He IS an old-time Georgia Democrat, which is NOTHING like the NY or Vermont democrats.
Forget him changing parties, let's pray he doesn't change his values, at least he can lend some democratic support for some things.

What are you talking about? Miller is and always has been a Democrat. He did not become an Independent. Where did you pick up that tid-bit?
