Senator Says His Party Out of Touch....

[burr]

<http://www.ajc.com/news/content/news/0903/05miller.html>

offers insanity as a reason for his book.

His claim, he was really a moderate all along. Just look at Carter and Clinton, they backed shrub's taxcuts and his decision to drill in Alaska. And damnit, it is time for the party to go south. Comprenda?

We aren't going to win the White House anymore, or even Congress...time to face facts. Just back your prez, do the goosestep, and everything will be loosygoosy.

From the AJC...
"According to Shirley & Banister Public Affairs, which is handling publicity for Miller about the book, the senator outlines in it his perception that the Democratic Party is no longer tapped into the concerns and hopes of Americans.

Miller, a former governor of Georgia, will question in the book whether the Democratic Party can field a successful presidential candidate in the future, according to Shirley & Banister.

Miller also will evaluate the campaigns of the last two Democratic presidents, Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton, and outline positions on abortion, welfare, gun control, the environment, education, immigration and national security that he believes are more in line with how Americans feel."

4. No kidding....

every neocon will read it during the 2004 convention. Maybe Zell's dream is to be shrub's keynote speaker, the Mario Cuomo of the Republican Party! :9

[MiltonLeBerle]

2. I agree with ol' Zell-

His party, the republiklan party is out of touch with American society.

9. Hey, you stole my response!

:spank: :P

[ButterflyBlood]

3. He pisses me off even more every time he opens his mouth

good riddance in 2004.

[pruner]

5. Zell would be the perfect running mate for Lieberman

n/t

[ButterflyBlood]

6. That's Nader's dream ticket

how much of the vote would he get then?

[realFedUp]

7. Zell could use some Cliff Notes

on the 21st Century.

15. Great line!

I will steal it! :)

[Eloriel]

8. Yeah, especially since he's so beloved everywhere,

popular, respected, sought after.

Sure, makes sense to me, Senator Turncoat.

10. I have to wonder...

... how he gets to work in the morning, given that hermetic bubble he seems to be living in....

Zell Miller a moderate? Oh, right, I see--it's political _humor_....

[burr]

11. insanity is a state of mind...

the insane view themselves as sane and everyone else as insane, the neocons view themselves as compassionate or moderate while seeing their opponents and the supporters as unpatriotic radicals who are a growing threat to America.

12. The DINO Party?

Zell, the real Democrats won the most recent Presidential election and the two prior to that. When did you take up fiction writing?

[w4rma]

13. Zell Miller's economic policies have done nothing but screw over the south

My opinion: 'I see one-third of a nation ill-housed, ill clad, ill nourished,' and Zell Miller and only Zell Miller can go to hell.

[Democat]

14. With friends like him, who needs enemies?

He's trying to destroy us from within.

[Zhade]

16. He must be a friend of the DLC.

Aka PNAC-lite.

[Voltaire99]

17. Proving Nader's point

Good ol' Zell: like Lieberman, or Breaux, or indeed like nearly all the prominent DLC Dems he rather nicely illustrates Nader's point about the vanishing difference between the two parties.

If the Democrats want to be relevant again, it would not be an unwise thing for the party to drive these unprincipled scum to the margins.

18. Zig Zag Zell can go straight to hell.

:mad: Zell is surpassed only by Tony Blair in kissing Chimpy's ass.

[dusty64]

19. This guy really is

over the top repig. I rarely call for someone leaving the Democratic party, but miller needs to go (he is blatantly undermining them). I desperately hope a REAL Democrat wins his seat to shut him up permanently.

[salin]

20. So it comes out just in time to... throw eggs into the democratic primary?

Great timing Zell, have to wonder if it is intentional... to sell books? Or something more... ?

[burr]

26. Is Zell the 21st century Einstein?

"Today National Democratic leaders look south and say, `I see one third of a nation and it can go to hell.' "

The reason Zell really voted for shrub's taxcuts, he was against them! He wanted to give the public a taste of what they would really do to our nation, and to the next generation. He wanted to show what tormenting the uninsured and workers not in unions would do to the south. And he hoped to demonstrate the stupidity of drilling in Alaska by supporting this.

Finally he hopes to show America the dangers of tyranny by giving us a one-party plutocracy. Isn't Zell brillant? :wow:

[Media_Lies_Daily]

21. Zell obviously longs for the days of Old Georgia...

...the one that existed prior to the Civil War. Women had little or no say about anything except running the household, minorities were kept fully-employed 24/7 against their will, and the term "yankee" described anyone from lands immediately to the north of the Georgia border.

[dawg]

22. Aaaaaarghhhh! I voted for that prick! n/t

[ixion]

23. if what Miller says is true (but I hope it is not)

then I am no longer living in America, but in 'Murikkka, and need to move ASAP.

[xJlM]

24. Who cares what Zell Miller says?

Other DINOs? I wouldn't waste my time reading this drivel...

25. We should have kicked his ass out a year and a half ago

Can you imagine the field day the whores are going to have with this book? "INSIDER TELLS ALL" He's going to be portrayed not as the self-absorbed, disloyal, Dick Russell wannabe fart that he is, but as a bold hero standing up to the out-of-touch-Dems who, unlike him, do not venerate our fearless leader.

If we'd have kicked him out right after he did that photo op w/ chimpy, we would have robbed chimpy of saying every one of his hairbrained initiatives is "bipartisan" because Miller supports it, put other wannabe Repubes on notice that party loyalty is still alive, and made his "book"j ust another screed by a disgruntled ex-employee.

27. Sorry but this goober was a sorry excuse for a Dem

..I concur with the sentiment that this republican-lite fool should have been deep-sixed by the party a long friggin' time ago...

But then that would require the DNC/DLC to grow a pair of balls and a spine...
