One Lone Conservative's Reality in a Sea of Liberal Delusion's
After a bit of surfing the web I came across this bit by Sen. Zell Miller, D-Ga. , probably one of the few Dems I as a Republican can actually say without a doubt attained the honor and respect that myself and others in this country give him the old fashioned way....HE EARNED IT!

In a speech on the senate floor, Miller blasted Clarke for his dubious statements, his party as being a joke, which hasnt gone over to well in Democratic circles...could it be because Miller has backed president Bush on nearly every major policy decision in the true sense of bi-partisanship or is it the simple fact that the the Dem party today has become nothing more than a tool for the hyperleft ultra extremists whose very ideals are anything/anyone but Bush mentality...which goes to show how much of a micro-brain they have. To add insult to injury ( like anymore was needed) Miller will be campaigning on Bush's behalf for his re-election ..as are a growing number of lower-level statewide dems across the country....which only proves the next few months leadup to November will be quite interesting to say the least.

Miller is quoted as saying , "It's obvious to me that this country is rapidly dividing itself inot two camps- the wimps (Dems/Liberals) and the warriors (reps/conservatives), " futher adding "The ones who want to argue and assess and appease, and the ones who want to carry this fight to our enemies and kill them before they kill us!" Truer words were never spoken Zell.....
To think that before I started paying attention to Miller, the only Dem I even respected was Joseph Lieberman...looks like my personal list of honorable and respected Dems has grown by one with the addition of Miller...although with the general make up of the Dem party...I believe that will be the final addition to my list!

He has an excellent book entitled "A national party no more". Highly recommended.

This is one comment to address alot of blogs, the political ones. What if all the conspiracies, the left and rightism..isn't half as big, half as bad, or even half as affluent.. As we make it out to be? By saying one side progadandas versus another side, are we not propaganding in regards to our own viewpoint? That "our" side is better because we aren't stooping to the levels the other side is? We perpetuate the cycle we're disgusted with. Isn't that neat? What if there only conspiracy theory is to convince others there is a conspiracy? LOL It's great. These political articles are brain-washing bullets. Ammunition for our own interests. Hehe. I don't think impartiality or bi-partisanship exists.

Viva Le Chaotic Neutral Political Party!

So you like him because he's a democrat and happens to support the issues that you do?


That's called having the same opinions, not actiosn worthy of respect.  Basically all you are saying is that you respect people who think the same way you do.

Well I have been aware of him for a bit and he is a conservative who happens to be a democrate. Party affiliation doesn't always dictate ones ideology and Zell Miller is an excellent case of this. There are also some moderate republicns out there that could be equally respected because of ideology by democrates. The pary system itself just sets up a situation for one candidate to run against another with many cases there not being a lot of difference between the two in various states. Also more liberials go to the democrates and more conservatives go to the republicns which simply creates a base for each party and a candidate will need there base inorder to win an election, this doesn't always mean that they will control the direction of each party it just means that ideas the base likes will be heard a lot more then normal during a campign. As for Zell Miller I think the fact that he is retiring this year is why he has become so more vocal and visiable this year so he either wants to go out with a bang or get a spot in Bush 's cabinet in 2005 but I still believe he honestly believe the things he has been saying.

There's something wrong with respecting people who think the same way you do? Thoughts lead to actions. If I see a burning building and someone needed resucing, I'd attempt to. If someone else thinks the same way as I do about it, Yeah, I'd have some respect for them.

You can honestly respect a person for what ever reasons you want. What they say or do are reasons you can respect them if you agree with them but I can also respect people I disagree with as long as they truly beleive what they are supporting. There are many resons to respect someoneand it is up to the person showing the respect and no one else.

miller is a joke...he is leaving and trying to make headlines and align himself with a winner,,,he's always been this way...he goes with whatever he thinks will make him headlines and popularity. also, he saw what happened to max cleeland...another ga. democrat who actually deserves respect.

go respect zell...feel free...i have a hard time respecting people who can't spell democrat. (by the way, i'm not a democrat)

and respect shouldn't come from agreement, it comes from seeing that someone is true in their beliefs...how has zell been true to his party by selling it out for personal gain? sounds like you would respect a parrot if he just repeated "republicans are great"

how sad...

"how has zell been true to his party by selling it out for personal gain?"

Maybe the party hasn't been true to him. That's the point he makes.

Zell Miller will blow whichever way the wind is blowing at the moment. I'm not sure why's he even a Democrat. If he feels the Democrats are so off track then he should have the courage of his convictions and switch parties. Either that or shut up..

SConn1, I already corrected the typo in the spelling of Democrat...and if thats a main reason for having a hissy-fit for what I wrote your sad!

Whatever happened to the idea of "men of conscience" who voted based on what they thought was right?

Within memory of living man (well, this living man, anyway) there used to be Conservative Democrats, Liberal Democrats, Liberal Republicans and Conservative Republicans. These designations have faded, in favor of supporting the old "party line." This leaves us, the voters, with less choices. Not a good thing, IMHO.

i think you make some great points on that last post larry,,,certainly worth contemplating and considering.

on Apr 10, 2004
you only corrected that after i pointed it out,,,the article was up there for some time..and no, that wasn't the main point,,,that was just having some fun at your expense and pointing that out...typos in the article are one thing, not spelling words right in the title are alittle more unprofessional. i was pointing it out for you to correct it in a crass way....i think the only one having a hissy fit is you here...there is nothing in my words that would suggest anger.

i did notice you did ignore the point i made, so i should assume that i was right there but your ego caused your lil attack on me, lol (notice i am laughing, not yelling)

sorry if i disagree with your view of respecting people because of your agreement with them. in my life, respect comes more from people who actually do earn it than just do what they have done their entire career to be in the news. if these statements have "earned" your respect. i can safely guess you don't know much about zell or his public service. if you did, you would know this is just par for his course. the fact is zell miller hasn't exactly been the most respected senator by his peers on either side. he sits on very few comittees and the only time anyone in the news outside of georgia is even interested in talking to him is when he is just stirring up trouble. zell started on his PR campaign last year and so far it hasn't netted him anything, even from republican interests. they may use his statements, but few are really interested in zell as a senator that they want to put in charge of anything. that's why despite his lust for headlines by selling out his party for a year, no one really cares.

so like i said,,,feel free to respect him.

Meanwhile, I will feel free to respect Lincoln Chaffee, Arlen Specter, John McCain, Susan Collins, and Olympia Snowe.
