I just called Zell Miller's office...

and expressed my grave disappointment to the beleaguered office assistant. (I'm one of Zell's constituents.)

I told them it was hard for me to overstate my disappointment with Zell's comments about Kerry. Said that every time I thought Zell had gone too far off the deep end, he does something that goes even further. Said I find it harder and harder to believe Zell still calls himself a Democrat. Also recited the statistics (elsewhere on this board) about how Georgia is actually much higher taxed and much less business-friendly than "Taxachusetts".

I don't delude myself that it'll make a nickel's worth of difference, but if more Georgians do it...

and sending him an email right now! He is the lowest of the low! :mad:

sorry for that office assistant. Bet they had NO idea what they were getting themselves into.

202-224-3643

GA office: 404-347-2202

i wasn't very nice. called him vile, despicable, traitorous, said he should get out of the democratic party, and that he is filthying our name. (i don't even know if filthying :shrug: is a word?)

As a Ga. democrat who voted for you, I cannot begin to express the anger of how you make we southerners look so Backwoods.
My husband is a disabled veteran who fought in Vietnam and when you can stand there and degrade Sen. Kerry, a veteran and no apology about Sen. Cleland by supporting Bush and the GOP dirty tricks, makes one feel ashamed that you dare call yourself a democrat, when clearly you are a republican or liberterian.

You do not represent my views and you are showing derelict of duty, because we put you in there. Why would anyone believe anything you say? You Sir, are a traitor to the Democratic platform and have no patriotic values by standing arm in arm with the likes of Ann Coulter.

good for you, vetwife! :hi:

OMG I can't get that pic out of my head now. I think I shall throw up but I have thought of calling Mrs. miller and asking how she enjoys sharing her hubby with Ann..LOL ! If I see them here..anywhere together. I will ask her !

I sure hope not. My wife thinks he's in the early stages of serious dimentia. I can't see how he's doing any good for Bunnypants since haven't most the Miller-type "Southern Democrats" been in the GOOP for the past 30 years? How is this political pariah helping the dark side? I don't get it.

that Zell has become persona non grata in the Democratic caucus. Won't let him join in any reindeer games. Tip O'Neill took the same approach when Phil Gramm jumped ship to the GOP some years ago.

That should be pretty obvious.

really it appears georgia f*ed over voters in 2002 as well if not better than florida in 2000. georgia seemed to be a not looked at state during 2002 election and was diebold? playground to steal election. gotta practice to get good. that is what i tell my boys

I was campaigning that day for Roger Khan, a dem in Ga. I was helping get out the vote for a lot of dems and it was raining and I knew something was very wrong when I saw the news he had cenceded. I called Roger Khan's headquarters when someone pulled a gun on Khan staffers and he conceded before his numbers went down. That is how I found out. Heard it on the news, called Kahn's office and they confirmed they had guns pulled. They conceded while they were ahead.
NEver have I ever seen such a debacle as that night. Repug after repug in the Diebold states getting landslides and democrats getting creamed.

We have not had a republican governor since reconstruction.
Speaker of the house Murphy had been there for years ! Sen. Cleland...duped. State legislators just blown away by repugs. Id don't believe it ..I really don't. It did not happen. People didn't just wake up and decide they were no longer democrats. thanks Diebold and Cathy Cox (a dem) and worked under Zell. Thank you for bringing voter fraud into our Satate. We had enough problems with Zell. We were disenfranchised where ole Ralphie reid calls home. We got the biggest contributor to Bush right here and we got screwed, which brought about eventually the whole country getting screwed !

Bev Harris has worked on this.

…what the hell happened, :eyes: as governor he was a moderate populist type who lauded the legacy of FDR at the (was it 88 or 92?) convention… he use to be a good man, I just don’t know what happened, he had strong religious beliefs well so does Jimmy Carter and many Democrats, He’s a Hawk yeah so are Bayh and Lieberman and even Edwards but how can this all translate into voting with the GOP next to 100% of the time… I just don’t get it… what happened to the Zell Miller who kept in constant touch with James Carville to lead his support during the 1992 campaign… its really sad, I’m not angry I’m just saddened and what to know “why Zell? why?” :shrug: and I’m a moderate Dem! And yet this guy is a republican in all but name, actually he’s very like Lincoln Chafe in the GOP I guess… but it still should mean that we have some sort of explanation! :-(

He was a decent governor as far as we know. Here lately,
we sure are knowing less and less

why the chairman of Democrats for Bush sits on important committees. Ask him why the leader of the senate Dems has not taken a more active role in enforcing basic party discipline.

I have been wondering if the 30 pieces of silver Zell got from BushCo have been keeping him warm at night.

I'm not in his state and decided I had better expend my energy on other issues and elected officials. I don't trust myself to keep a civil approach, either by mail or on the phone.

Anyway, if Miller doesn't know how detested he is, it's not your fault.

so there you have it - I just got off the phone in D.C.
