Senator Miller Blasts Kerry at "Democrats for Bush" Rally

The Bush/Cheney campaign has unleashed its most famous Democratic booster -- Georgia Senator Zell Miller -- to make the case presidential foe John Kerry's policies are inconsistent with some of history's most popular Democratic presidents.

Miller -- a Georgian -- is the only Democratic senator to publicly back Bush's re-election bid. He made the attack in Washington yesterday against Kerry in a speech announcing his leadership of a national "Democrats for Bush" effort.

The popular former governor cited the policies of Democratic Presidents John F- Kennedy and Harry S- Truman in making the case that Kerry, not Bush, is outside the mainstream on issues ranging from tax cuts to war.

Miller said -- quote -- "John F- Kerry has the same initials as John F- Kennedy, but he has a far, far different view of what the government can do to help families prosper. John Kerry's spending and tax plan would stifle our economy and stall our recovery at the worst possible time."

I've been tired of Democrats treading lightly around Zell Miller. Long ago Miller stopped being anything that even came close to being a "principled moderate." Chuck him out. I look forward to the media discussing Miller's flip-flopping:


Just two years ago, Zell Miller sang John Kerry's praises in his home state of Georgia. Miller pointed out some of very same the traits that have inspired millions of Democrats, Independents, and Republicans to rally behind John Kerry's campaign to get America back on track and bring back jobs.

"As Senator Miller himself said, John Kerry is an 'authentic hero.' He has fought for his country on the battlefield and in the public arena. He has been a champion of balanced budgets, a leader in education reform, and powerful advocate for affordable health care and an economy that works for working Americans.

"Zell Miller's new leadership role will be a lonely post. Democrats, and Americans of all stripes, are tired of George Bush's failed policies and broken promises. The nearly 3 million Americans who have lost their jobs since George Bush took office are members of both parties. The millions of families who are struggling to pay for the rising costs of health insurance and the seniors who can't afford needed prescription drugs are both Democrats and Republicans. And the families of U.S. troops who were sent to Iraq without body armor to protect them are members of both parties.

"This November, millions of Americans of every political persuasion will unite in a powerful call for change, and they'll stand with 'an authentic American hero' -- John Kerry."
