Wow, all the left side guys sure seem upset by the Miller speech.
Actually
by the whole convention if I'm reading correctly.
The Zell Miller speech frames the righties for what so many of you are.
First, many of you define truth as whatever set of facts serves your
political
interest at the moment. You justify this by claiming that "politics is a
dirty
business", when you bother to justify it at all. Zell Miller praised Kerry
as a
"True American Hero", long after Kerry had taken the same positions that
Miller
cited in his tirade at the Republican convention.
Second, many of you you talk about prinicples like loyalty, but many of
you
have none. When Kerry
spoke in the Senate, and when he cast a grand total of two votes against
any
type of weapons system (one of the votes was on a committee report, not
even a
bill), he was *supporting* the Republican positions outlined by Bush Sr.
and
Dick Cheney.

Happy to accept Kerry's support for defense cuts when the Republicans,
(including the current VP and then Secty. of Defense), were advocating
greater
and larger cuts than congress wanted to authorize, your guys now take that
previous support and try to use it bury your previous supporter.
Zell Miller's speech is upsetting because it exemplifies exactly what is
wrong
with the political leadership in this country.
When one considers that every vote counts, and that in our dumbed-down,
sound
byte, under-educated society today there could be enough sheeple so
enthralled
by a good old fashioned string of
juvenile lies and insults to keep the current crew, and its lack of
ethics, in
power a while longer- it's pretty distressing.
The Democrat's guy is not without many flaws, but one past the "we're the
god
fearing, war mongering, old fashioned valued, compassionate, fiscally
conservative party trying to defend liberty at home and instill it
abroad"....once one examines the *actions* of the current regime, there is
an
excellent case for making a change.
Gould, you sure do have your panties in a tight wad.
Does the fact that time has reported a 10% difference between Bush and
Kerry, in Bush's favor contribute to your sour tone.
