Should Zell Miller be allowed to the convention?

[ButterflyBlood]

Poll question: Should Zell Miller be allowed to the convention?

n/t

[rucky]

1. Let's Give Zell a Chance...

to look at all the Democrats right in the eye & explain why he deserves to be there.

Something tells me he'll decline anyways.

[oasis]

2. Not just "no"..........but, "hell no".

[MASSAFRA]

3. Which convention?

eom

[MikeG]

4. Wasn't he on "Green Acres"?

[koopie57]

5. No

no other admitted republican would be welcome there, why should he? It is sort of like knowing a wolf is dressed in sheep clothing and letting him in the hen house cuz he says he is a sheep. Letting Miler there makes about as much sense as my stupid analogy *LOL*.

[corporatewhore]

6. The Republican Convention

[LeftCoast]

7. Hell no! We don't let Republicans speak at our convention!

If he does speak, I hope he's booed loudly and throughout the entire speech.

[Hippo_Tron]

8. He shouldn't be invited, Tar and Feather sounds reasonable...

If he walks in. I wonder who would be less welcome at the convention Zell, or Nader.

[mmonk]

9. I don't think Benedict Arnold

was allowed at the constitutional convention. I see no good reason Zell Miller should be allowed.

[Padraig18]

10. Sure! How else are we gonna throw eggs at him?

:evilgrin:

[RightO]

11. Yes

Of course he should. He is a democrat isn't he? Just because he is conservative democrat doesn't mean he should be shunned does it? That doesn't sound like very democratic thing to do, shunning people.

[ButterflyBlood]

12. being a conservative Democrat isn't the problem

that POS endorsed Bush. Why should he be allowed to the convention to choose the nominee when he doesn't even support the nominee?

[mmonk]

13. People who actively campaign for the opposition

aren't real democrats. New poster, eh?

[leyton]

17. He should not be allowed to speak.

But I think he should get a seat, because he's at least voting for Daschle. And I imagine he's probably given the Democratic party a boost Georgia, and he helped us out in the past. But no speech for him.

[koopie57]

19. actually

I would prefer that Dashle steps down, or gets forced down.

[Hippo_Tron]

23. He doesn't mean that he's voting for daschle inside the caucus...

Which he may very well be doing but that's not the point. He votes democratic/daschle for organizational purposes and didn't switch to the Republicans when Jeffords came to our side. Because of this, he had my respect until he endorsed Bush.

[ButterflyBlood]

24. not enough in my view

the convention is about choosing our nominee and boosting his campaign. He doesn't support the nominee, so why should he be there?

[Hippo_Tron]

25. The convention is a big political rally for the nominee, after he's chosen

Zell Miller doesn't support the nominee and thus should not be invited.

[IndianaGreen]

33. Zell Miller has endorsed Bush for reelection and will campaign for him

The Georgia delegation should yank Miller's superdelegate credentials.

I expect to see Zell on TV attacking the Democrats and defending Bush during the convention.

Miller already said that he is forming a Democrats for Bush group.

[WillyT]

48. Dude, What Happened To Your Profile ???

:shrug:

You're REALLY new here, ain'tcha???

:evilgrin:

Welcome... I guess...

:shrug:

[zulchzulu]

14. Make Zell wear a Bush button at the convention

The rest will happen to him after that. Maybe put acid in his coca-cola.

[jansu]

15. Read why he shouldn't be allowed in anywhere.....

On February 11 , 2004 Dominionist leaders in congress made their move; they introduced a bill in both houses called The Constitution Restoration Act of 2004. Among the sponsors of the bill are Rep. Robert Aderholt (Alabama), Rep. Michael Pence (Indiana), Sen. Richard Shelby of Alabama, Sen. Zell Miller (Georgia), Sen. Sam Brownback (Kansas), and Sen. Lindsey Graham (South Carolina).

Can anyone name things really for what they actually are. Clean air act, No child left behind.....

[Bake]

43. That act, if passed, would be soooo unconstitutional.

Even a conservative Supreme Court would strike it down. I don't think even Fat Tony wants anybody telling him what cases he can and cannot hear -- as evidenced by his refusal to recuse himself in cases involving his hunting buddies.

Marbury v. Madison: It is distinctly the role of the judiciary to say WHAT THE LAW IS.

Bake

[jansu]

49. Too bad we can't try them for Treason!

Think what kind of a mind set could come up with this bill.....Anti-American. You have more faith in those sitting on the Supreme Court than I do. Look what they did to place Bush in.

[Exgeneral]

16. Wait ! I wanna change my vote!!!

I didn't see "tarred and feathered" until too late!
If that whore knows what's good for him he'll stay home.
But maybe he likes public abuse.

[Piperay]

18. Several years ago

(I think back in the 1980s) Miller DID speak at the convention and he wasn't half bad but the guy is now a TOTAL asshole and has no business speaking, he's supporting chimp. :mad:

[West Coast Democrat]

20. Does Zell want to attend?

I would be surprised if he wanted to have anything to do with it.

[BruinAlum]

21. Only as a pinata

[Hippo_Tron]

26. Better yet, how about we invite shrub as a pinata...

That would be so much fun.

[West Coast Democrat]

22. He'll probably write some article about how he wasn't welcomed...

at the convention, and how he was so shocked at being treated that way, etc.

[LibDemAlways]

27. Hell, no.

Turncoat traitors have no business at our convention. At any rate, he'd first have to have his lips surgically removed from the chimp's ass before he could make the trip anyway.

[John_H]

28. Only if he comes with the sole purpose of kissing my ass.

[Zynx]

29. No. He is a Republican and the worst traitor in recent history.

[searchingforlight]

30. He can act like a repug all he wants. His seat will still count as a dem.

and that is one more seat toward the majority.

[TomSeaver]

32. Why?

He is a Republican and would just be a listening piece for Bush

[daveskilt]

31. Zell is so bad - I may vote for Johnny Isaakson

that way we can run an actual democrat in 6 years if zell is voted out

[mgarretson]

34. hmm...

When I first saw that question I was willing to give him the benefit of the doubt... That he's still a Democrat, albeit a conservative one... But then I remembered that he endorsed Bush (who could forget?!?) and that solidified my stance... As an elected official what does it matter if he calls himself a Democrat when he endorses a man despised by most Democrats in an election year?

Zell's a joke... I hear he used to really bring home the beef in his early days but his slide towards the Repugs seems to have also been a slide to irrelevance.

Zell and W. make me :puke:

Best,
Mike

[kodi]

35. is it possible that miller gave the gop the dems senate computer codes?

miller has declared for bush. he has no legitimate purpose at the democratic convention, unless he wants to stir up shit and if he does i hope to hell a couple of senators, namely hillary clinton and barbara boxer beat his frigging ass with a crowbar.

[stldemocrat]

36. computer codes

I was wondering the same thing.

[Dhalgren]

37. Sure, why not?

He seems to be your typical, mainstream, Democratic Party centrist. He'll probably have a cabinet position before it's all over.

[ButterflyBlood]

38. how many other mainstream Democrats have endorsed Bush?

or spoke out in support of Roy Moore?

[Dhalgren]

39. How many mainstream Democrats

have you haerd say "Vice President Cheny and I have the same view on gay marriages"? How many have said, "Bush has not gone far enough in his war of terrorism"? "How many have you heard say "Homeland Security Agency is not funded enough"? Or "We need 40 thousand more troops over seas"? Zell Miller? I'm just glad he's not running for president - ABB, right?

[corporatewhore]

40. Ditto

[ButterflyBlood]

41. you are using Nader-esque tactics

Nader claimed there was no difference between the parties by using out of context quotes and stances while completely ignoring every single issue they were different on. You are doing the same to argue that there is no difference between the frontrunners and Zell Miller.

[Dhalgren]

42. You feel that certain Democrats fall too far outside of what you

consider to be "good" Democratic behavior (or stances or ideals) - so do I. You draw your line on a particular area of the sand - I draw mine in a different area. I am not a Nader supporter and I don't use his tactics - any more than you use those of the Republicans.

[jsw_81]

50. You're comparing Kerry with Miller?

Give me a break!

[pezcore64]

44. Yeah.

Why not? hes a democrat. whether you like it or not ;)

besides, hes not even running for re-election is he?

i say let the man die thinking hes not crazy. haha.

[jsw_81]

45. I would say no

It's one thing to be a conservative southern Democrat, but it's quite another when you've endorsed the Republican candidate and written entire books bashing your own party. We simply cannot allow that kind of behavior in our party.

[DEM FAN]

46. Fuck NO. He Belongs At The Other Convention.

:puke: :puke: :puke: :-(

[liberalitch]

47. Shuned.... amish style.

Push out of the tribe like in the clan of the cave bear
sent to the shed like a redheaded step-child
taken snipe hunting
