Zell Miller, Fox News Sunday: "let him lead us to where he wants us to go"
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,130497,00.html

MILLER: this dangerous time, we need a strong commander in chief, and I think that George Bush is one of the strongest that you could possibly have. I have admired and respected the way that he has grabbed terrorism by the throat. And I think he's the commander in chief that we need these next four years.

snip

MILLER: We're at war. 9/11 changed everything, as far as I'm concerned. It changed the way that we have got to look at how we do things. I am very, very disturbed at the lack of bipartisanship that I saw in Washington over the last four years that I've served in the Senate. And I think it's very dangerous for this country in a time of war. We can't afford it.

snip

MILLER: In 1992, I was smitten with Bill Clinton. I thought that this was the moderate Democrat that I had been looking for that would take the party back to the center, where I wanted it to go. I can remember the mantra just perfectly: going to change welfare as we knew it; going to punish criminals, not explain away their behavior; the era of big government is over; going down and taking on Sister Souljah in front of Jesse Jackson at the Rainbow Push convention. I thought that was the Democrat that we were getting at that time. Unfortunately, that's how he campaigned, but that's not the way he governed.

snip

MILLER: I think that the times have changed and that we need new leadership, as far as the way that we do things. And we cannot continue to let the Democrats in the Senate continue to obstruct what this president wants to do. I think he has a vision for this country. And I think he'll lay out that vision on Thursday night. I think he knows where he wants to take this country, and I think that we've got to get behind him and let him lead us to where he wants us to go.

2. Hilarious. Reminds me of the "Gabbo!" Simspon's Episode
Simpsons are all watching "Springfield Squares" on TV. Suddenly a commercial comes on for something they've never seen before, a ventriloquist's dummy named "Gabbo!" "Gabbo!, GABBO!, GABBO!!!"

Homer becomes so excited by the commercial that he exclaim's "He'll tell us what to do!"

6. Dismiss Zell. I think senility has creapt into his feble mind.
I can't listen to his anymore. I don't have high bolld pressure, and I DON'T WANT IT EITHER!!!!

The Pubs don't like this nut either. The only reason they want him to speak at the convention (or are letting hime speak) is because they think it will sway some Dems. It won't!!! I live in North Ga. and every Dem I've met of spoken to is more energized to vote for Kerry because of Zell!!!!

9. He must be senile ...
"I am very, very disturbed at the lack of bipartisanship that I saw in Washington over the last four years that I've served in the Senate."

WTF is he talking about? How much more bi-partisan could we get under a 2-party system? Let me see ... USA PATRIOT ACT, NCLB, Homeland Security, the Iraq resolution ... jesus h. christ, Zell.

10. I understand that miller is going to have a "keynote" speech
I suppose that this is the best that they can come up with. A discredited dixiecrat promoting the entirely discredited policies of a rabid chimpanzee.

11. Zell, why don't you and Bush go to Hell.
And let Bush lead the way, by all means.

12. Oh yes, sweet Jesus, just close your eyes and let him lead us to where he
wants to go. Sounds like the old Baptist preachers of my youth(forced there by my parents), however, they were talking about God and Bush sure as heck ain't God.

Zell Miller, the traitor of his state, his party and the good citizens who voted for him. He should be hanging his ignorant head in shame instead of opening his mouth and showing his ignorance for all the world to hear.
