RNC Convention
 

Ya'll, Zell Miller is INSANE.

How do ya'll from Georgia live with this cat? Items from his speech:

If Bush has a spine of Tempered Steel, why did he run and hide in Nebraska (after reading to elementary schoolers) on 9/11.

If hes such a fab-o commander-in-chief, where's Osama? Seriously, how hard is it to catch a 6'6" arab on dyalasis?

War on Terror? GWB has taken a sympathetic world and turned it against us.

The republicans arent partisan? Come on! Two words: Tom Delay.

Who do I trust to deal with terror? GWB if we want more. Hes not catching the terrorists, he's breeding new ones.

Glad to see that Dick Cheney could come out of his 'fradey hole' long enough to give his speech.

I consider myself to be republican. At least I used to.

I'm not a Bush fan at all, but the reason for going to Nebraska was a joint one due to the security and communications available there.

With the situation in turmoil, nobody is going to allow a President to fly into the eye of the storm.

At least that one isn't fair.

I concur.

Bush did make public statements, etc that day and in the days after 9/11. We don't need to put our President directly in harm's way and we had no idea what else was going to happen that day. I commented at the time to some co-workers (and my mom) that I found it odd that we didn't hear one single solitary public statement from Cheney at that time. My mom said (she dislikes Bush even more than I do) "Cheney is too busy running the country to say anything". She thinks Cheney is the real head honcho and that Dubya is just a figurehead!

I am confused Andy. I didn't see his speech but Zeller said that Bush was hiding and it's Bush's fault for not finding Osama?

Re: Re: Re: RNC Convention

Re: RNC Convention
 

Zell was a little off the hook.

I kept thinking, "Zell, tell us what you really think."

Anyhow, if you listened to Cheney's speech, it gives the RNC position on almost all of the Kerry-favoring statements you raised.

i thought smoke was going to start coming out of zell's ears LOL...he really hurt john kerry...people can say he was mad..or he's a flip flopper..whatever..but what he said was major..

But, was anyone watching? I wish I still got "overnight" ratings daily so I could answer that question. One of the reasons the networks aren't doing full coverage of the conventions anymore is that most of the American public just don't care. That is particularly true in these days when the conventions are so highly produced and controlled.

Quick question, did Zell Miller questioned Max Cleland's patriotism once?

ETA: Or am I thinking of somebody else?

Let's not forget Zell introduced Bill Clinton at a DNC convention. Zell's views on defense are maybe more in line with Clinton's and Bush's - not Kerry.
