Is Zell Miller ever going to go away?
Seriously, are we stuck with him for the rest of this campaign?

Is there some deal we can make with his publisher, where we agree to buy a bunch of his books if he will just give it a rest?

4. big difference
there's an enormous gulf of intelligence between Biden and Miller.

Biden actually has thoughts that are worthy of being broadcast, agree or disagree.

Not so with Miller, he's a total zero, on a level with a Dennis Hastert.

5. Biden is a tool.
He was all pro-war before the invasion. I saw him on The Charlie Rose show and he was all gung ho. Now he is trying to hide that fact.

3. Does anyone think it's possible that
he's being blackmailed by the BFEE? That's the only explanation I can think of, because I just find it so hard to believe that he's actually pulling this shit, and he seems so zealous about it.

7. It is odd for Zell or any Dem. Senator
Edited on Mon Nov-10-03 07:11 PM by rumguy
to be doing this in the run-up to a major election...it's perplexing and wierd. I saw him on Chris Mathews and he was even trashing Clinton. Why the hell even stay in the party if that's how he feels...and why didn't he leave earlier? There's something amiss with 'ol Zell.

8. probably just an egomaniac
that's the way he struck me in one of his interviews, he giggled when the interviewer read him one of his own quotes, with one of his phony downhome sayings.

He probably feels slighted that the dems aren't taking his advice, or something like that.

10. Zell ain't gonna fade, not as long as the whores love to hear him....
trash Dems. From here on out, put Zell on ignore. It is the only way to deal with him.
My own take on Zell is that he came to Washington expecting to become part of the senate Democratic leadership and got stiffed. He's getting his revenge. What he says doesn't stand up to an argument, but then most of repukes blatherings don't.
Having said this, I will predict that the whores will tire of him, and he will go the way of the dodo bird.

11. Not Soon Enough.
Zell Miller is no longer a Democrat. He was once a fantastic example of a moderate Democrat, but apparently came to the conclusion that the Democratic party no longer represented HIS idea of "The Big Tent".

He would rather break the Democratic party, than understand that the party is evolving, and assist in it's successful evolution. If the party evolved in a way that pushed it further in the direction of Conservative southern Democrats, everything would be fine for Miller. He seems to think that his view of Southern Democrats is the only view. All Southern Democrats are NOT conservatives.

To betray his party speaks volumes about what type of Democrat Miller has really been all of these years. He has not always been a bad Democrat, just a "Fair-weather" Democrat that wants things His way, or no way at all.

He will be a thorn in the side of the Democratic Party until the End of his days. Such is his bitterness with the Party.

12. why doesn't he support Lieberman?
he has no credibility. There's no way Miller can seriously claim that Lieberman is too far to the left.

He's like the flip-side of the dem bashers on the left that never talk about Kucinich.

15. I expect Zell Miller to croak in a barroom fight before he leaves D.C...
so don't worry about him being a thorn in our side. That mouth of his is producing more political enemies which could never be imagined, he is likely to walk across the street one night and be rolled over by joe-sixpack in one of those four-wheel drive pickups he's so fond of! :nopity:

13. Would it be possible to kick him out
of the Senate Democrat Caucus? That would shoot him down, hopefully.

He'd be a politician without a party.

14. Zell Miller is just another neocon
who will go away in 2004, and go down in history as a bad part of America's dark years.

16. Someday, when sanity prevails
Zig-Zag Zell will be on the list of Quislings that helped enable this miserable, rotten period in history to happen.

When Sen. Paul Coverdale died of a stroke, the Democrats begged Zell Miller to take his place. This is what they got.

19. using the term "neocon" where it doesn't apply
such specific terms should be kept to where they specifically apply..

22. Since his main issue is the war
and many dlc friends of Zell are in the PNAC what is not accurate about this statement.

18. probably not
Edited on Tue Nov-11-03 06:50 AM by Aidoneus
If there's a combined ounce of brains between the top planners, the Republicans will probably make good use of him for Dear Leader W's run to be partially elected again.

A continued shift to the right will make future Zell Millers more likely.

21. Elect Dean
prove him wrong and humiliate him. It would be divine justice if we won Georgia. Georgia is a tossup so if there is one southern state we focus on it should be his.


Zell is a coporate cocksucker, and and extremist dlcer. He loves classwar, but only if the rich win. He wants to spank black people some more and keep the South for cheap labor businesses.
