Zell endorses the lying awol moron for 04

[Skip Intro]

Can we kick this DINO out of the party?

snip:

SENATOR ZELL MILLER OF GEORGIA, the nation's most prominent conservative Democrat, said today he will endorse President Bush for re-election in 2004 and campaign for him if Bush wishes him to. Miller said Bush is "the right man at the right time" to govern the country.

The next five years "will determine the kind of world my children and grandchildren will live in," Miller said in an interview. And he wouldn't "trust" any of the nine Democratic presidential candidates with governing during "that crucial period," he said. "This Democrat will vote for President Bush in 2004."

1. What a fucking shocker....

Asshole...I can't wait until this jackass retires...

[illini]

2. Arrg! Fascisism seeping into our own party.

:smoke:

[LuminousX]

3. Cockroach, anyone?

[AndyTiedye]

4. A Boll Weevil To the End

Any chance of getting a real Democrat in his seat?
Oh, right, it's Georgia, Diebold. forgetit.:-(

[GainesT1958]

12. Quick! Someone from Georgia call Max Cleland...

And BEG him to save your state next year!

Zell has to be one of the BIGGEST jerks OF ALL TIME... and now he can add "Quisling" to his resume. Just goes to show how much he REALLY "thinks about his grandchildren"...HA! :mad:

B-)

[Frodo]

43. Max can't help now.

He came close to keeping his seat by constantly pointing out how similar his vote was to Miller's (the most popular politician in the state). The Republican kept going on about how much more he agreed with Daschle than Miller.

Miller obviously won't be endorsing Max for senate next year.

[RobertSeattle]

5. Hmmm. Maybe Coulter needs to add a new chapter to "Treason"...

Zell just pissed me off. Mega Dino.

[fizzana]

6. The Democrats should offer the GOP a trade

Miller for Lincoln Chaffee.

[bif]

11. I second that.

.

[phillybri]

I mentioned this on a friend's blog last week....

Lieberman and Miller for Lincoln Chafee and Olympia Snowe.

Fuck Zell...They can have him for free...

[GainesT1958]

18. And while we're at it...

Let's encourage Olympia Snowe to come along in that deal, too!:D

C'mon, Georgians! Send us a REAL Democrat next year!

B-)

[Frodo]

37. WHY???

They've already got both of them.

[goobergunch]

7. Do you think he'll vote for Smirky at the Dem. Nat'l. Convention?

:puke: :puke:

He should be booted from the party. NOW.

[Cha]

8. zell is Not a Freakin' Democrat so he lies about

that. What else does he lie about and what else is he confused about?

I know a Hero ..Jim Jeffords who had a repuke label and got rid of it because of the bush tactics. I will think of him when the dumbshits of the world like zell miller make their ridiculous statements.

[tom_paine]

9. Miller is right, thenext five years will determine the future

And Zell desiresan Imperial Oligarchy as rife with lies and falsehood as the Old Soviet Union, where only one side is ever told and all news is Infotainment and the Inferiors of the Empire are rightfully ruled by the Superiors whom the Bushevik God (Satan) has ordained.

And no one thinks or reads a book that isn't Bushevik party Approved.

Some future...

Thanks, Zell, you fucking quisling. History shall record your bootlicking Treason in kneeling before Emperor Bunnypants*.

One wonders is Zell a dupe, or is he on the Bushevik Pay Corps?

[salin]

10. So where are all the Zell defenders now... you know... "well you can't

expect a Wellstone to win in Georgia..." I can think of several democratic georgia elected officials over the years that were oh so much better than Zell. Just had to get one more zig out, didn't ya Zell.

[eissa]

19. What a douchebag!

I support the call to have him booted from the party, or at the very least, deny him any support if he runs for re-election. What self-respecting democrat would vote for any repug, especially that moron who is currently "president"?!?!

Although I live in California, I'm in the central valley, which resembles Mississippi politically. Yet even the few conservative democrats we elect wouldn't say something that stupid. I have so many really disgusting words I want to use right now :grr:

[salin]

22. he has already announced that he isn't running for re-election

so he has written a book dissing the democratic party, and now he has endorsed Bush.

My understanding is that he was NOT reactionary as governor. So what the heck happened?

[ulysses]

29. I'd love to know.

My understanding is that he was NOT reactionary as governor. So what the heck happened?

No one ever mistook him for a raging progressive while he was in the state house, but no one mistook him for a damned Repuke either.

[jiacinto]

33. I defended him in the past

But this is indefensible. I have lost all respect for him.

When I first heard him speak at the 1992 Dem convention I was really impressed. It's a shame.

A Wellstone couldn't win in GA. That's the truth, but we can do better than Miller.

[salin]

42. we can, we have in the past, and we will in the future.

thankfully there is a huge range between zell and wellstone. That leaves lots of room. I would love to see Cleland run again.

[onehandle]

13. I voted for this fucker several times.

I'm calling the Georgia Democratic Party and confiming this.

[onehandle]

23. The Party had not heard this...

At least the person who answered the phone hadn't.

[bif]

14. Zell, you needle-dicked bug fucker!

Cut off his funds now!

[CMT]

15. no surprise here

I thought a few months ago he would head "Democrats for Bush" in '04. thank god he isn't running. I think he should just get the charade over with and switch parties. That he doesn't care for Howard Dean just vindicates Dean in my estimate.

[ulysses]

16. I'm not exactly speechless

it's just that I think I've used up all the words I can think of to accurately describe Zell.

pig fucker...check...surpassing fuckwit...check...cesspool of putrid effluvium...check...

:shrug:

[PROGRESSIVE1]

17. Zell Miller reminds me of another Georgian Senator...

Dick Russell!

Miller is a Dixiecrat, a George Wallace wannabe, washed up Confederate, left over POS!!!

Senator, you will not be missed!

He now can join with other great southern conservative DISluminaries as Trent Lott, "SUX"by ChamBS and Strom Thurmond!

:puke:

[Stuckinthebush]

20. The nine candidates need to come out together and say

"Zell Miller is not a Democrat and has never been a Democrat. He has used the Democratic Party to get elected in the South during a time when it was advantageous to do so. He used the label to be appointed to the Senate, and has voted with the Republicans on most every issue. Zell does not hold dear the tenets of our party, and he does not speak for Democrats in his state. If Zell Miller believes that George Bush is the man to ensure a safe, peaceful world develops in the future, and believes that none of the Democratic candidates have better ideas or intelligence, then Zell Miller has not been paying attention. It is way past time for the Senator to admit to his real affiliation and to quit masquerading as a Democrat."

[mlawson]

58. They should, but they won't.

DK and Al *might*, but the others will simply say, "Well.... everyone has a right to support whomever they please, after all, that is what makes America GREAT, etc etc"

:puke: and :argh:

Must be NICE, you know, mustn't EVER, EVER stand up and fight!!

[tritsofme]

21. Is anyone really surprised?

Do the pubbies even bother to run against him, or are they just content with his job?

[ulysses]

24. he's not running next year.

Chickenshit.

[denverbill]

25. And yet, people say Democrats have to pander to the South.

Screw that. If we need to nominate Democrats like Zell, I'm going Green. Who the hell cares if we lose Georgia, Alabama, South Carolina, Mississippi, and Texas anyway? If we sweep the Northeast, West Coast, and Midwest, we'll win in a landslide.

[PROGRESSIVE1]

Heck with the south! If we want to win we must.....

take the message to the heartland!!! To win next year we must win these areas:

Northeast, Westcoast, Midwest, Hawaii, DC, Louisiana, Arkansas, and West Virginia!!!

This will net us 290 Electoral Votes and a BIG White House in DC!!!

(Note)Louisiana and Arkansas are moderate southern states that can be won over with a candidate such as Clark, Edwards, or Kerry!

[Jim Sagle]

40. And don't forget Tennessee.

[Brian Sweat]

51. We don't need Democrats like Zell Miller

We need Democrats like Bob Graham and Bill Nelson.

[bluedog]

26. hey Georgia voters.....

has he always been a cut throat to his party....stop any and all his funding NOW...call his office and tell him what the hell you think of him did you people know this man was a bush light???

[onehandle]

31. I've complained several times...

Stopped giving to them two years ago.

Honestly, Georgia is lost. Rove and Ralph Reed have sewed it up tight.

[Skinner]

27. That backstabbing piece of shit.

Fuck 'im. :grr:

[leetrisck]

28. Unbelievable but not surprising

What a jerk

[jiacinto]

30. Fuck him

That's it. I have had it with him.

He should leave the party now.

[Democat]

32. He needs to be asked to leave the party

He is hurting us more than he is helping us.

Make him leave!

[in_cog_ni_to]

34. OMG! Zell Miller is not

a Democrat. That is obvious by the way he votes on issues and THIS!

What a F**KING a**hole!

I hope he loses his seat when he's up for reelection. He'll probably run as a repuke though...at least he should.

[onehandle]

35. This is his last term...

Rove replaces him with a Real Republican in '04.

[in_cog_ni_to]

39. Never mind..I see he's not running in '04 n/t

[w13rd0]

36. The nine democratic candidates...

...should bury their differences for a moment to appear at a joint news conference to announce that THEY are most certainly Democrats, but that Zell is most certainly not.

[SammyWinstonJack]

38. Disgusting!

:puke:

[Frodo]

41. Well, the chance of winning GA in '04 just went to zero.

And probably that senate seat as well.

He said he wouldn't endorse a senate candidate, but you know Zell will be with shrub when he visits GA and he's GOING to spend time in GA. Ang you know Burr will be right up there on the stage with him.

[PROGRESSIVE1]

44. We were not going to win Georgia anyway!

It's to conservative and entrenched with right wing zealotry!

It's the old south!

[KG]

46. truely

time to stop wasting precious resourses on state where the residents voted to return the stars and bars to the state flag.

[ulysses]

47. I don't think they've been spending a lot of resources here anyway

but I'm tempted to agree. The national Dems aren't going to be able to do much here. Be competitive where you can - hell, try running harder out west - but ditch the ghost of the southern strategy. We'll do what we can here in the meantime.

Anyone wondering how this might impact Zell's favorite 4th district congresswoman?

[goobergunch]

50. I don't think Majette has endorsed anyone yet (n/t)

[ulysses]

52. oh, I know.

I live here. Majette hasn't done much of *anything* yet.

Does it not throw Zell's support for her in an interesting light, though? I've really tried to give her the benefit since she won the nomination, but there's just been nary a peep from her office as the country has continued to circle the toilet bowl.

[Frodo]

49. Think about this first.

It was only three years ago that we had both houses of the legislature, the Governor's mansion and both Senate seats.

It could swing completely against us in just four years? The state hasn't changed THAT much - we're just not apealing to them anymore. If we aren't careful we are going to see a lot more "first Republican elected to that seat since reconstruction" news clipings.

There are enough southern states like GA out there who still have Democratic Senators that if we don't stem the tide we will be up a creek (how's that allusion?). The Republicans could OWN the Senate in perpetuity - and since we've now set the example with filibustering judges we could see generations of devestation on the courts.

I won't just say "screw the South" (if for no other reason that I have to live here)

[terrisel]

45. Zell is a Banker who Pretends to Be a Man of the People

He seems to look down on most Georgians now. He pretends to be a man of the people but actually he is a banker. Maybe the family business does better when he does what Karl Rove asks.

He seems to have evolved into the consummate opportunist. I do believe he was one of the architects of the plan to get rid of Cynthia McKinney-there was certainly a Bush angle there.

Zell loves to talk about how the Marines made him a man. I don't think he had the opportunity to serve in wartime.

[Deja Q]

48. What world?

Bush will destroy it either with his warmongering or his ineptitude.

Zell is a dipshit too.

The kind of world I want children and grandchildren to live in is far more desirable than the one he must be thinking of. x(

Fuck him. And not in the good way.

[dolstein]

53. Well, if it's any consolation, Miller endorsed Cleland in 2002

NT

[ulysses]

54. yes, he did.

And no, it isn't.

[dolstein]

62. What I meant was, the candidate he endorsed lost anyway

Frankly, I don't think Zell Miller's endorsement is going to make any difference outside of Georgia, and Bush doesn't need Miller's endorsement to win Georgia.

[ulysses]

65. heh

Fair enough.

I don't think that Georgia was a lost cause before this, and I'm not entirely sure that it is now, but this certainly doesn't do anything to help. I suppose, though, that I feel vindicated in a way now that Zell has proven himself beyond a shadow of a doubt the asshole I've been saying he was for some time...

[DarkNite]

55. Gee, what a surprise.

But not totally unexpected, since Zell didn't seem to care for any of the Dem candidates by the things he's said about them recently.

If Roy Barnes has any regrets from his time as governor right now, it must be appointing this fool to Paul Coverdell's Senate seat.

Even Gene Taylor, one of the most conservative Democrats in the House, has endorsed Wesley Clark. There's simply no excuse for this, Miller's a jerk. Both he and Ed Koch can go jump in a lake.






-DN-

[JVS]

56. Can he be purged from the party?

Because he really sucks ass!

[Q]

57. No surprise here...lots of NeoDems in the party...

...it's just that most of them aren't as honest as old Zellie.

[Iverson]

64. look! over there! a Green!

Why the criticism of Miller? You can't have 100% of what you want. The perfect is the enemy of the good. Besides, Democrats in his area are conservative, so he had no choice. Dems need unity at all costs, and Miller's electability is proven. Nominating a far left socialist utopian just won't cut it; centrism wins.

Is my meaning clear?

[Q]

67. Clear as date rape bipartisanship...

...

[Terran]

59. Jesus friggin Kerist!

Miller should be kicked out of the party. How the hell does a Democratic Senator endorse the opposition party's candidate without even knowing who *his own party's* candidate is going to be ??

[OKNancy]

60. I just can't figure out what happened to him

I vividly remember Zell giving a rip-roaring Republican bashing speech at the Democratic convention several years ago. He had everyone whooping and howling.

Was it a slow transformation or did he get scared by 9-11...or bought off?

[diplomats]

61. And if it weren't for Zell Miller

Bill Clinton probably wouldn't have been elected president, because Zell's early endorsement of him helped him win Georgia, and this came right after all his problems in New Hampshire. I have no idea what happened to him.

[Solly Mack]

63. This surprises people?

How? ...no surprises here.

Expected....

[jsw_81]

66. Fuck you, Zell

:puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke:
