Reply #9: Supporting the re-election of nominee of opposing party [View All]

[frank allen]

Supporting the re-election of someone from another party over the nominee of your own party is disloyal and unethical. If he doesn't want to be a part of the Democratic party, let him get the hell out. If he wants to change it, let him work to change it. But, to publicly trash it for the sake of creating controversy to sell a book is not the act of an honorable man.

If Miller looks at the array of candidates of the Democrats and finds NO ONE worthy of his support -- like for obvious example, if he finds all of their expressed views on the Iraq war as being FAR too "leftist" for his tastes and beliefs -- why is it so "disloyal" to support the person from the OTHER Paarty who DOES represent YOUR considered opinion? And, why SHOULD he "get out" of the Democratic Party? Further, you have done more than accuse him of doing this to sell a book, you have also pronounced him "guilty." So much for a presumption of innocence?
