Smart Dem to vote for Bush in ’04
2003-10-30
Hat tip Protest Warrior
Complaining that the anti-war rhetoric used by some of the Dhimmicrat Democrat beauzeaux moonbats presidential candidates is putting the lives of American soldiers at risk, retiring Sen. Zell Miller, D-Ga., announced Wednesday night that he was backing President Bush for re-election.
Ethel, get the salts!
Asked about the harsh attacks directed at the Bush White House over the Iraq war, Miller told Fox News Channel’s Sean Hannity: "It makes me ashamed. It’s a disgrace for anyone to talk about - talk like that in a time of war." Miller then blasted his fellow Dems. "Using this war for political advantage can only give hope to our enemies. And when you do that, that’s going to cost lives."
But I thought Dean said dissent for the sake of dissent was noble, that it's true freedumb of speech? Do you... ummm... dissent from that statement?
The Georgia Democrat added that while he didn’t question their patriotism, "I certainly question their judgment."
"And their IQ."
"You know, if some of these folks had been living back [in] that April night in 1775 when Paul Revere came riding through, saying, ’The British are coming, the British are coming’ - if Howard Dean was living back then he would have yelled out the window, ’Shut up, I’m trying to get some sleep in here!’
Sounds like Dean all right.
"It’s a disgrace," Miller reiterated, before endorsing President Bush. "I’ve given this a lot of thought. I think that George Bush is the right man in the right place at the right time," he told Hannity. The lifelong Democrat explained, "The way I see it is that these next five years are going to be crucial in determining the kind of world my grandchildren and great-grandchildren live in.
As free people or dhimmis.
"And I don’t entrust that to any of these folks that are running out there on the Democratic side." Miller said that Bush "reminded me somewhat of Churchill. I think he’s got some Churchill in him. He understands the history of freedom. He knows where it came from and he’s not afraid to take a side. That’s the kind of man I want in there as commander in chief."

#8  OK lemme 'splain myself--if you look back on Congressional history--the Southern Democrats often provided the majority by voting with GOP lawmakers--the Democrats were always a "house divided" NYC/Boston/Cleveland/Chicago Democrats were not the same politically as a GA Democrat--ever--finally Nixon with his brilliant Southern strategy was able to break the lock on the South in the GOP favor--just look at Texas --how many judges came out of the closet and joined the GOP?
.com might know--but it was a major sea change--and the Dems hold NO statewide offices there now the same thing has happened in the SE--it will soon be the solid South for the GOP The one thing I WILL give the GOP credit for is even their half/assed liberal GOP members from the Northeast vote in goose step with their political masters ion Dallas and Houston

#5  He was a GEORGIA Democrat in '62. Given what that meant on the great issue of the day, it's not entirely a bad thing they changed.

On the other hand, I don't agree with Zell Miller about much, but given the big issue of this day, Bush may be my first Republican Presidential vote since Ford, too. If we get the WoT right, we can fix the rest later.

#4  NMM, Zell Miller is not a republican. He is a Democrat from 1962. He didn't change; the party did.

#3  Perfect summary of the political situation - and echoes the precise reasons I will vote for Bush. I don't vote by party, never have, and don't buy into the whole program of any of the organized looters, er parties. But the WoT is as real as it gets and as important as it gets: survival.

He's on the right track, but if Bush indeed rises to Churchill's level of leadership, we are well and truly a fortunate country. I hope Bush fares better at the hands of American voters than Churchill did with the Brits - and I will do my part to see he does.

Kudos to Zell Miller, class is rare, and Thx for the post!

#2  Zell Miller is about as much a Democrat as Tom DeLay. I guess he's a "Quislingcan" a/k/a Southern Democrat
