I saw Miller on a cable TV talk show one night. She’s arrogant as hell. Obnoxious, too. Her entire schtick is that the GOP has been taken over by the “radical religious right” and that in her father’s day the GOP was “tolerant”. Like Bill Moyers, she has a mythical view of the past, acting as if abortion, homosexuality, and public nudity were accepted, cherished institutions until Jerry Falwell & Ronald Reagan rose to power in 1980.

Try as I might, I can find no record of her father promoting abortion or homosexuality during his political career. He was a rock solid GOP conservative from the Buffalo area of New York. Yet she rants on and on about how, by opposing abortion and same sex “marriage”, the religious right has stolen the GOP away from people like her father.

It reminds me of Moyers’ idiotic assertion that when he first got involved in politics in Texas back in the fifties, you didn’t see politicians trying to ban abortion or same sex “marriage” like you do today. He says this is proof that Taliban-like fanatics have taken over the GOP. Uh, Bill, the reason you didn’t see politicians talking about abortion or homos circa 1956 is because abortion was illegal and same sex “marriage” wasn’t even on the radar screen. Even Democrats took a conservative position on those issues back then.

sounds like a daughter rebelling against her dad’s
politics...like Rebecca diMornay, the actress daughter
of the late Wally George.

Yes there were such things as conservative Dems once.
Miller has probably gotten more and more angry on air but
libs LOVE to hear from fellow angry libs (lib talk radio’s failure
is basically its blend of conspiracy theory ranters,
NPR-style snoozers, and unfunny comedians.)

Whatever THEY accuse US of, you can bet they’re looking in a twisted mirror.
