We should have known when Zell Miller addressed the NRA

[billbuckhead]

Thank you very much for your warm welcome. And thank you, Wayne and Jim, for inviting me to be here tonight. Both of you made strong and thought provoking speeches this morning, and I was proud to be there to hear them. It's been a while since you've had a Democrat as your keynote speaker, and I was honored to accept your invitation.

Yesterday afternoon, the folks over at Handgun Control, Incorporated issued a press release criticizing me for being here tonight. They accused me of "courting" the NRA, saying you didn't represent mainstream America. Well, I haven't courted anybody since my wife, Shirley, said, "Yes" ... 48 years ago.

But I look around this room, and all I see is mainstream America! I see a room full of patriots who love their country and all it stands for. And there is nowhere I'd rather be tonight than right here with you, on the picket line of freedom's defense!

1. thats true but

there are some dems who oppose gun control like Dingell and who are overall great dems. I agree that gun control is needed just that I dont think all the dems who oppose gun control are bad.

2. But the NRA is bad, that is 2 different things

I began to think Zell was a lost cause after this speech.

4. ahh ok

Yes, the NRA is very bad IMO. Hmm I dont know really what sparked Zell for me, cosponosoring the Bush tax cuts was pretty screwy, funny thing is though, he stood up for Cleland in 2002.

3. Notice he didn't challenge them to a duel....

Guess he only does that to people he doesn't think will shoot back....
