Zell Miller's Book Praises, Slams Dems
By JEFFREY McMURRAY
Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON — Former Georgia Sen. Zell Miller, the Democrat who gave a convention keynote speech for President Bush, said Friday he doesn't see another Republican like Bush coming along and there's a chance the Democrats could win the White House in 2008.

His new book praises one of the Democrats' potential candidates, Hillary Clinton, as "a warrior."

"I think the 2008 race will be wide open," Miller said in an interview. "I don't think you're going to find a Republican who can command the intense, personal loyalty the Republican base had for George W. Bush this last go-around."

Miller, a lifelong Democrat whose fiery keynote address at the Republican National Convention was received as heroic by some and treacherous by others, says Democrats are still going down the wrong path. But he says Republicans could follow them if they mismanage the economy and fail to control the nation's borders.

1. Jesus ANOTHER book?

Sounds like someone's after some $.

[mitchum]

13. And Scaife didn't even bother to bulk order the last one

No "bestseller" status for Miller

2. Just another party-line meme from the GOP

"Ooooh, don't run Hillary. Pleeeease. She'll hurt us."

The big picture focuses on plausible deniability of a dem loss (of the popular vote) when they steal the next general election. Apparently they believe that Hillary as candidate makes that so much easier to swallow.

3. Go to hell, Zell! and take Bush** and his PNAC cronies with you.

I heard on the local radio news this morning that Zell, slimey Zell, was hospitalized last night while delivering some speech and that he is recovering..... just sayin'.

4. An idiot praising a disaster-in-the-making

Zell's latest ploy in sending the Dems to almost-certain defeat in 2008 is to drink the Hillary Kool-Aid himself and promulgate the same fevered hype we get from some other outlets. I alone know dozens of dedicated, fervent Dems who will stay home or bolt to a third party if Hillary is on the 2008 ticket; they will simply not support the War Party/Pro-Corporate/Anti-Progressive Trojan horse faction of the Democrats that Hillary and the DLC represent. She's even more hawkish than Bush and the Rethugs in many areas in part since she's trying to prove her credentials in the Starting Up Unjustifiable Wars Against Innocent Brown People in Small Countries category. In fact, I suspect there's a pretty good chance that an Antiwar/Progressive third party would spring up if Hillary were to make the '08 ticket. Plus she'd cause GOP and right-leaning voters from every little nook and cranny of the country to raise money for the GOP and head to the polls in 2008; she's a good reason that the GOP hasn't already fragmented into 10 different squabbling factions. Of all the elections we need to win, 2008 is pretty high up there, since that will determine the course of so many crucial policies as well as the tenor of the Supreme Court and federal bench. Zell's Hillary worship is the sort of thing that could make us obsolete after '08. She's indeed a great unifier-- for the GOP.

As for Zell Miller himself, I find him to be atrociously, filthily reprehensible. He's one of the few people that I genuinely abhor, despise, loathe with an intense passion, which seems to be a commonly shared sentiment. (Deserves a Hallmark Card.) His turncoat act against the Dems in 2004 would have made Judas Iscariot himself blush. The only possible use for this jerk's book would be as a well-placed doorstop to wipe mud off your feet after wading in a polluted stream.

5. God bless him...

He is now a total lunatic and probably cries "CHARGE" as he pictures himself running up the hill with Teddy Roosevelt.
We have to stop hating this man for his obvious Alzheimer's disease and try to remember him for the democrat he was before his mind left him. And before the pukes decided to use him as their poster child.

6. And This Is What Is Making Me Sooooooooo.

Not in her corner. Something is going on. The Hillary that I once saw as a shining light. A real leader of her own, seems to be courting the Right Wing waaaay tooo much.

It's making me very nervous.

[safi0]

7. Don't you guys

Realize the potential goldmine in this. Other than Shrub and various members of his cabinet I don't know if there's anyone hated more by us rank and file Democrats than Zell. A Zell Miller endorsement if he chooses too, could single-handedly derail a Hillary presidential bid.

[ChiciB1]

8. You Make A Very Good Point....

But what if she plans to govern in the same fashion as those of Zell Miller's followers.

This is my quandary.

[FreedomAngel82]

15. I agree

Something is going on. I like Mrs. Clinton and all but not for the 2008 canidate.

[LittleClarkie]

17. And then there is her husband being a sudden Bush buddy

I smell a deal and a possible attempt at a dynasty. Am I being paranoid?

No sir, I don't like it.

[cobaindrain]

9. hmm, Zell praising Hillary, suggesting we can win in 08?

I hope this clown isn't trying to worm himself back into the fold for 08, we need to kick his elderly ass to curb.

[hatrack]

10. Fuck you, Zell

Nothing more or less. Just a hearty good old-fashioned "FUCK YOU".

[Vickers]

11. What Hatrack said.

:thumbsup:

[mapatriot]

12. Who cares???

Really now, who gives a shit what this pathetic, irrational red neck thinks or says??

[Wizard777]

14. What I've always liked about Hillary.

She's a compassionate bitch on wheels with the ability to bullseye the median. Just what America needs right now.

[Donna Zen]

18. And she believes in this war!

...she also thinks Syria needs to "be punished."

Just what Americas got right now.

[Wizard777]

20. I don't care how you promote it.

Crap on a stick will never be anything other than crap on a stick. I also understand the weapons applications of crap on a stick. It's still crap on a stick. If the smell of the crap doesn't drive off the agressors. You can hit them with the stick and get some of that crap on them. The combination could drive them off. But you still have crap on a stick.

[Donna Zen]

21. So you agree with the war in Iraq?

Interesting.

I don't.

Hillary does. She also agrees with the Patriots Act, NCLB, and I assume paperless voting--after all, she gave it her approval.

If I vote issues and you don't, I don't give a crap.

[Wizard777]

23. No it was a war crime.

As to how I vote. I believe that is private. But I don't mind sharing that.

1st - I look at the character of the canidate and their background. (That is where I am at with Hillary right now.)

2nd - I look at their position on the issues.

3rd - I have a 100% agreeance rule. I never vote for a canidate that I am in 100% agreeance with. They are an ass kisser and I hate them with a purple passion. Once their lips are planted firmly on your ass. They will reach up and stab you in the back at the first given opportunity. If someone made you put your lips on their ass would you do it? I know I would. Also If a canidate is going to give me everything I want. Then I have fellow American that won't get what they need. It's not all about me. It's about US.

Then I do the math and cast my ballot.

[valis]

16. No other Republican like Bush? Did they run out of retards ?

[loudsue]

19. This guy's a frikkin' schizophrenic without meds.

Hillary Hillary Hillary. I'm so sick and tired of the republicans running Hillary for the 2008 Dem ticket, I could SCREEEEAAAAAAMMMMMM!

Hillary IS NOT a Dem I would EVER EVER pick for my president.

:kick:

[zulchzulu]

22. Zell praised Kerry a couple years before he sold out...so it's irrelevant

Zell just needs to meet his Maker...he's proven he can suck the Devil's Member when given the chance and now it's time for him to pay for his sins. The old fuckwad...
