Zell Miller may attend convention

[Freddie Stubbs]

GOP says N.Y. would be swell with Zell
By Geoff Earle and Klaus Marre


Some Republicans are hoping that sharp-tongued Democratic Sen. Zell Miller of Georgia will appear at the GOP’s national political convention this summer.

“It would be great if he could be there,” said Sen. Jon Kyl (R-Ariz.). “Zell Miller is a Harry Truman kind of Democrat. He tells it like it is. He’s plain-spoken. He doesn’t mince words. He’s the person he is, and a patriotic American.”

An appearance by Miller would help President Bush try to re-establish his bipartisan credentials at a time when he has lost his polling edge on such issues as education and the economy.

The centrist Democrat has aided the GOP’s political goals since he was appointed in 2000 to fill the term of the late Sen. Paul Coverdell (R-Ga.). Miller provided a critical stamp of bipartisanship to President Bush’s tax cuts.

[fujiyama]

20. HarryTruman

had a sense of loyalty and decency. If he were around, he'd tell for Miller to get lost

[MurrayDelph]

33. I think he is more

of a Peter Pettigrew Democrat.

36. Zell Miller is a George Bush kind of Democrat...

:hi:

[jpgray]

2. What a disgrace that man is to his state, and to our country

Many politicians are whores, but this guy gives whoring a bad name.

[WI_DEM]

3. they can have him

but if he had any integrity at all he would switch parties.

[cosmokramer]

14. OMG...

we agree on something! Horray! :)

Zell is a loathsome SLUG and a real disgrace to our party. Let the neocons take care of one of their own...

[no_hypocrisy]

4. Let him make his way to the grandstand and take formal conversion

in front of the congregation. Let him testify. Let him be baptised. Let him renounce his sinful past as a democrat. He will be free and obtain everlasting life.

[jbane]

31. It would look like...

The scene when Jimmy Swagart confessesd to whorehopping..errr..indescrition.
Can't you see Zell on the podium blubbering for forgiveness.

[Skinner]

5. I did learn one good thing from that article.

At least the he's not going to show his face at the Dem Convention...

For now, Miller is keeping mum about his plans. Asked whether he would attend the GOP convention, Miller replied, “I don’t know. I’m not going to the Democratic convention.”

[Chef]

7. Zero Miller

There ought to be a law against any republican invoking the name Harry Truman.

[rooboy]

8. Have him. The guy's a catfish. n/t

[Padraig18]

9. Zell Miller is a loathsome slug.

That said, I should point out that I have a higher opinion of him than do most of my fellow Democrats. :evilgrin:

[eileen from OH]

10. The CENTRIST Democrat???

If he's a "centrist," I'm Britney Spears.

11. Can we forcibly eject this knucklehead yet?

"He tells it like it is. He’s plain-spoken. He doesn’t mince words."
Which, if he were any Democrat critical of Shrub, would get him called things like "traitor," or "liar," or "another one o' them tree-huggin', pot-smokin', skirt-chasin', baby-eatin' LIEberals."

"He’s the person he is...."
Well, who else would he be?

...and a patriotic American.”
Kyl was probably thinking, "Unlike the rest of those damned hippie freaks."

"An appearance by Miller would help President Bush try to re-establish his bipartisan credentials at a time when he has lost his polling edge on such issues as education and the economy."
Shyeah. Only to people who don't know he's a DINO.

"The centrist Democrat...."
Centrist Democrat?! Har!

18. Welcome to DU Rob H.

If you hate Zell Miller, you've come to the right place.

[Rob H.]

30. Thanks for the welcome, Hippo_Tron

:7

[monchie]

12. Harry Truman Kind of Democrat???

Harry Truman would've bitch-slapped Zell this way, that way, the other way, and sideways. Remember, Harry was the guy who gave Republicans hell, not kisses on their behinds.

And let's not forget that the Republicans of his day loathed Harry Truman about as much as today's Republicans loathe Bill Clinton.

I love how the ReTHUGs always try to claim dead Democrats--who obviously can't answer back--as their own.

[cosmokramer]

13. Please, take him!

He is a disgrace to the democratic party!

Edited for typos.

[cmf]

15. Someone please hold my hair back

:puke:

A "centrist Democrat" ? Puhleeze. More like "Repuglican asshole who happens to have a (D) after his name".

[AntiCoup2K4]

16. Zell Miller is a Benedict Arnold kind of Democrat

Traitorous coward :puke:

[Doosh]

17. great, he can clean the toilets

[Hippo_Tron]

19. Somebody needs to tell Kyl to write an essay...

On how Zell Miller and Harry Truman are alike. Betchya he can't even form a thesis.

[JHBowden]

21. A Jefferson Davis type of Democrat maybe....

Harry Truman? No.

[in_cog_ni_to]

22. He should be BANNED

from going and he certainly shouldn't be allowed to speak. He should be banned from attending and arrested if he tries to enter the Fleet Center. :grr: With Democrats like HIM...who needs repukes????:nuke:

[liberalpragmatist]

23. Easy, my friend

Read the article - he might attend the REPUBLICAN convention, not the Dem one, wto hich he's said he most certainly will not go.

[in_cog_ni_to]

24. hehe...I guess I should read the article.

Why wouldn't he go to the repuke convention? He has been campaigning for the chimp. I STILL think he should be banned fron attending the Dem convention and arrested if he tries to go. He has NO RIGHT to attend our convention. He has betrayed every Democrat who voted for him. IMCPO

[Endangered Specie]

25. Make sure he's forced to sit in the very back row...

if you know what I mean.

[JerseygirlCT]

26. Centrist????!! nt

[mitchum]

27. I would rather have that lowlife motherfucker at the republican convention

he certainly doesn't belong at the Democratic convention

I truly detest him

[Razoor]

28. zell miller is a coward and a traitor

cant wait untill Georgia gets rid of him. I live in Georgia and cant stand him I hate having two repuke senators and a repuke rep in the house. he was a ok governor but something went wrong when he turned sides and endorsed the chimps campaign. good riddance we dont want you at the DNC convention anyway stupid traitor!!! :mad: :puke:

[mitchum]

29. I am a fellow Georgian who shares your disgust with that dirtbag

Somehow The Athens library's copy of his recent insane book was moved from the new arrivals section to a place amidst needlepoint and embroidery books. Don't ask me how...:)

[MoonRiver]

32. What a relief!

I thought you meant the Democratic Convention, and was sharpening my daggers for a response! The Repuke Convention is exactly where that shithole DINO belongs. :puke:

[TexasSissy]

35. Better that he go to THEIR convention than ours.

He's not a centrist Democrat. I'M a centrist Democrat. Zel Miller is a Republican in ideology.
