First of all, it speaks volumes about the Democratic Party that this speech was given by a Democrat at the 2004 Republican Convention, instead of the 2004 Democratic Convention. Secondly, I don't know any people who said every Democrat is not up to defending this country's best interest, but most hat party's office holders are. There are exceptions. As I pointed out earlier, the first Congressional Resolution signed into law that called for regime change in Iraq, and accused Sadaam Hussein of having WMD's was signed into law on October 31, 1998 by President Bill Clinton. Secondly Sen. Joseph Lieberman's staunch support for the Iraq war was the main reason he lost his party's primary earlier this year. The kind of thinking Zell Miller referred to is something I've seen in the 25-30 years I've been observing politics, and is very common among the far left, most of whom are Democrats. It must also be noted that most of the people who were against the Iraq War for reasons that proved accurate were right wing Republicans like Pat Buchanan, Robert Novak, and myself. However I think most Democrats (including my current Congressman Henry Waxman) starting opposing the war because Bush was running it. If Bush had chosen to end Bill Clinton's bombing campaign against Iraq, and instead had chosen to work with Sadaam Hussein, he likely would have been lambasted by the far left for "propping up a ruthless dictator", which is rhetoric the far left has used for many many years. When it comes to these irrational haters Bush is damned if he does and damned if he doesn't. They don't deserve to control either house of Congress, yet anyone who votes for a Democrat is voting to do just that. I hope this country is not that stupid.

And im glad that some dems recognize that we need this war to save 1000's in the future. This country and our ppl were devastated when 9/11 happened correct? If we were to not attack this shows how weak we are. We are still weak b/c our Army is held back by liberals who will not allow us to just finish off their job. War is cruel, but necessary when dealing with such ppl, so you have to be cruel to win. Losing lives sucks, but in the end it saves lives. Libs and Dems are just prolonging the inevitable (most dems). Do not finish this war, do not finish off our enemy with a large and strong hit, we look weak once again (like Vietnam when libs held us back). America is only defeated by themselves. And those young men and women are dying and alot of ppl in this country dont even support what they are doing, they deserve more than this countries pity, they deserve your support.



The Dem party as a whole I think will do absolutely anything to get votes, thats why they fight to keep our borders open b/c they know the "immigrants" will mostly vote for them. They are handing our country over on a silver platter. Lets just give them the keys to the front door, to the guys who want us dead. But some Dems have good ideas and make good points. I like McCain at times...

I was glad to hear a non-partisaned response to threats facing America. I am chagrined to hear McCain's stance on our treatment of captured threats to America. I believe these are voices that stand out in our highly divided political climate. Neither of these voices condemns the war effort the way the leaders of the Democratic party do. To listen to the Dem leaders speak, you'd think America is the source of the Gulags, the torture chambers, the genocides around the world. There is no reality or responsibility in the Democratic party, they can't even come up with a reasonable plan for a course of action to the voters on any topic. All this boils down to a simple two word charge. (No Credibility)

Most people (about 3/4 of the American population) do not support the war. Are all of us "chickenhawks"?

The war has been a victory for Sunnis and thus for Al-Qaida if you haven't noticed.

Being mislead about the war sure is irritating. And the new fear tactic campaign they will air this weekend will be blown way out of proportion with statements by Bin Laden from several years ago.

Wow! That Nazi is nuts.



"There is but one man to whom I am willing to entrust their future and that man's name is George W. Bush."

This guy is Nuckin Futz.



"Where is the bi-partisanship in this country when we need it most? "

Why doesn't he ask Bush?



"But don't waste your breath telling that to the leaders of my Party today. In their warped way of thinking America is the problem, not the solution."



No one - in the Democratic party - thinks that America is the problem.

We think the liars, pedophiles and Neo-Cons are the problem.



The payoffs are the problem.

Big Oil is the problem.

Global warming is the problem.

Build up of Nuclear arms is the problem.

World hunger is the problem.

The shrinking middle class is the problem.

The same minimum wage for 6 yrs is the problem.



NOT FINDING OSAMA BIN LADEN IS THE PROBLEM!



This isn't about 9/11, it never was.

We wanted Osama dead, not captured.

Why cant the Republicans deliver on their promises????????

I must say that you have impressed me by not just going into hyperbole, it's nice to find a dem with some sense. First of, the majority of the dems voted for the war. However, they're the ones that want to create another Vietnam by forcing us to leave before the job is done. Not all dems want this, but a lot more do than the 'pubs. Secondly, McCain is a real wishy-washy guy, I don't care for him too much. As for the dem party, I think they have let the ultra left wingers like Dean, Kerry, Clinton, and Kennedy take over the party so completely that the regular Joe thinks that all dems are like that. It's really hurting them, and they really need to move back toward the center.

BTW, all politicians stink, in my view, it's just that I support the principles that the 'pubs are *supposed* to represent. Thanks for an intelligent question.

Democrats have been saying for some time that the war is a mistake ,as though we,re playing hop-scotch and if you think you made a mistake you get to do it over.

If that's how we "support the war" then we ,most surely ,will lose.

For Wc basebal below.----You talk too much & say too little,use the logic of a 3rd grade child, and you lie like a second rate politician.

yeah i seen your precious little speech there and i think he is just a poser democrat because he is a hard core republican. just another example of feeding the propoganda machine. republicans like to think they are the defenders of democracy but they are the first to take away liberties they choose to be democratic when the situation suits them. in a true democracy you don't pick and choose when to be democratic. P.S. john Mccain opposes the war because he actually knows what it is like to fight in a war i noticed all republicans that like to send 19 year old men into war never fought in a war themselves. your precious vice president was the mastermind behind this war yet when his name came up in the draft he dodged the draft five times oh yeah he's a liberator alright. get real.

I supported the CIA when they called for the Rangers in Tora Bora, I still do not understand why busting Sadam suddenly took Center Stage, we could have killed him.



I had some respect for McCain when he stood up against torture, then he folded like a cheap suit. Gave King Shurb his absolute right to detain without representation, deny right to a lawyer, imprison without charges, torture.........ANYONE King Bush declares an enemy or potential terrorist.



And the Big Court is still silent......Wow, first the Geneva Convention tinkering, now this? And still the big court is Moot.



Either bend over or VOTE

Republicans r once again out with a scare tactic campaign.

Repulicans r lowering gas prices just before the next election.

With the voting machines this election is fixed, just like 2000 and 2004-=--------only the president will still be in office with his clones. Everyone knows Florida was cheated of votes in 2000, Ohio in 2004!!!! dictatorship?....

Have you ever noticed women against abortion are women you wouldn't want to have sex with in the first place?

The Democratic party believes in abortion no matter what the case, including partial birth abortion that actually kills babies who can exist outside the womb. The Democratic party believes that the Government should have a say in everything every state does. Two large differences in the 2 parties. Which one do you favor?

Take a look at any statement by this madman Miller , and it clearly shows that Miller is out of touch with reality. I'm going to close my eyes and touch my copy of this hog wash speech. I'll try to use exact quotes, but if I don't it is only because It is too lengthy so I capsulated it for that reason only.



(1.)" Our soldiers don't give freedom abroad, they preserve it at home" I think the first part of the sentence about freedom abroad, proves that American soldiers are definetly OCCUPIERS! They are not providing Iraqi's with any such freedoms, fool, we are occuping the damn place , you fool, but the Neo-Cons aren't looking at reality, and they are applauding, What Kind of Fools are they!

(2.) Then in the 2nd line he says our soldiers are preserving our freedoms at home. My god man, how can you speak such an outright lie! Since Bush stole the office of President, I have lost more freedoms than at any time in history! Can you look my Avatar straight in the face and tell me that George Bush has preserved our Freedoms! WTF you @sshole, Bush has cut the balls off 95% of our constitutionally given rights. If you are going to deny this, please explain how wiping your @ss with our Constitution & Bill of Rights, or calling our Constitution a " God Damn Piece of Paper" and dropping almost every word in the document ,shows preservation! SHOW ME! do it.

You know what blows my mind about this totally partisan form of government Bush has created, they take democratic truths that are blessed by god, if you will, and they state that they upheld them, when in Reality they did just the opposite. Don't you Neocons have any memory, do you even remember 911. Do any of you remember what life was like before Bush. Hell no, Let me tell you, Life was good.

Ok here's another statement:

(1.) It was the weapons systems that Reagan provided that took out the Taliban at Tora Bora. EXCUSE ME , Our bombing of Tora Bora didn't do anything to the Taliban, not one thing!. It was such a failure that we went into the region after our failure, with our soldiers and the only one who we killed was our own man Pat Tillman! Tillman was sacraficed and murdered by his own men! Why? To Keep the hate going for this occupation and the American people mad as hell, which it did succeed in doing. Then we snubbed out the job because of constant failure and the foreign fighters, we hired to do the job just let any Taliban hiding out have a free ride over the pass, and out of the country. Am I lying? Is this not what happened! Like Bin Laden was even there in the first place! What a total failure, what a terrible outcome it caused. What a bunch of losers we showed of ourselves! I digress.

(2.) The fool Miller says " It was our F-15's that protected us after 911." Heaven help this misguided fool. I cannot stand this one it is too much for me , I want to reach out and tear this man's throat out, you said what ? the FUC KING f-15's did what After 911???????? You Fuc king bastard Miller! I don't know where "our F-15's " were after 911 , nor do I care. I do know that they didn't shoot down SHI T, after 911, and I do know that they were no where to be found B E F O R E 911,!!!! WHO GIVES A RATS @SS where they were after 911. WHERE WERE THEY WHEN WE NEEDED THEM........You and I know for a fact that they were not

protecting the WTC, the Pentagon, or anyone on this planet. The Vice President sent them on a wild goose chase out over the ocean and to the Midwest so they couldn't defend SHI T!!!!

Is that NOT WHAT HAPPENED???? Am I distorting anything?

I don't give a rats *** how well our Air Force responded AFTER the 911 murder spree was over, where were our protectors of life, liberty, and freedom before 911, they had tons of time. but no they wern't available to save , not one life!!!! But Zell says those FUC king f-15's were there "After 911 to protect our freedoms". You IDIOT, MILLER, ARE WE SUPPOSE TO APPLAUD OUR MILITARY FOR THEIR RESPONCE TO 911!!!! There was no responce from our military during 911. NONE, NONE, NONE! Oh yes, there was an order given to the returning wild goose chase pilots, and that order was, cut your speed down 75% power. In other words, don't hurry home!!! WTF, WTF,WTF!

Am I making this stuff up, am I changing the verbage; am I not stating facts, that can be looked up and verified in seconds.

Hell Yes I am and unless you are a filthy Nazi loving S.O.B. like Bush, his Admin. and the likes of Zell Miller then you will realize that you have been had, and you'll help jerk these murdering bastards of Americans out of office and to HELL where they belong. As god is my witness I will! Rensereader@cox.net. I apoligize for my language and conveyannce of such hatred for these individuals, but I love this country and to watch it go to hell bothers the HELL out of me.

If there is anyone out there that can rebuke what I've said as anything but the truth, I beg you, to please contact me anytime. I would love to be able to convince myself that I'm wrong! I wish that such could happen, I truly do! Show me where I'm misinformed. Can anyone out there explain where my thinking is astray. Thank You for reading my rant. I wish I could go on, but I can't!
