1. I wonder if he can have his superdelegate status stripped.
I know that his endorsement of Bush is grounds for dismissal as a party officer here in Texas, so anyone know?

2. He does give us 1 more to the majority in congress
which would let the dems set the agenda even if he voted repub every time.

BUT if he were a repub we could run a real dem against him.

3. Miller being a Dem is like horse manure on houseplants.
Its good for the plants. But, it sure does stink up the house.

4. it doesn't matter
we don't have the majority with him, and he never votes with us anyway. He just needs to come out and become and a Republican.

5. He had the gall to say last night there is not a democrat
who could do a better job than Bush (i guess his self included). If those are his views why is he in our party? And why do we let him?

10. he doesnt need to vote with the dems
Having the majority means deciding what gets voted on even if zell votes with the repubs every time he is one towards the majority that we want back...

Of course after the coming landslide in November we wouldnt need him anymore for the majority and if he was a repub we could run someone good against him.

6. I believe his term is up this year
and I know he's not running for re-election. Apparently he was a decent governor but took a right turn after election to the Senate. He was on H&C yesterday and made the statement that he could not think of a single Democrat that he would vote for vs. the chump.

Interesting point is can he be fired from the party? I think the repukes did so with David Dukes at one time but that was in a primary IIRC. To have him as a superdelagate is a joke to the process and spirit of the convention.

7. He really needs to.
I cut Zell alot of slack.

But I don't cut him slack for endorsing Bush. Its time for Zell to go the way of Richard Shelby and Phil Gramm & Ben Nighthorse Campbell and make it official.

8. I loved Jimmy Carter's recent comments --
-- about Zell. If they were dismissive and critical, good. Zell deserves it.

Zell Miller exhibits the symptoms of people who are death-haunted. His extreme fear of death and dying propel him to more and more extreme reactionary positions and thinking. Hence the tax on indecent programming proposal and all the other far-right religious crap he's working on with Richard Shelby.

Death-haunted or not, I think we need to chip in and have a huge cargo plane fly over Zell's house and drop a metric ton of orange jello. But in summertime, when the flies are thick in Gerogia.
