They all but reported his speech verbatim, I would think that they just broadcast his message to a much wider audience. And HTF is this guy a Democrat? Who is campaigning for Bush and Cheney?

Is this the guy who beat Max Cleland with help from Karl Rove's bag of dirty tricks?

When I have the time, I'll post something on a politician that I admire, a Democrat who was the most "liberal" in the Senate but became veterans' best friend ever in government. His name was Paul Wellstone.

It is sad you would call such a fine and honorable man an ******* without knowing anything about him other than who he supports for president. If there were a few more principled and honest men like Miller in your party, you would not have to resort to name calling...you would win every election by a landslide.

The problem is not their reporting what he said, but the fact that they attempted to discredit him first by calling him "Bush's attackdog" in the very first sentence. They don't start articles about McCain by calling him "Kerry's attackdog," instead....when he attacks Bush...he is called "fiercely independent."

Why would you think Max Cleland was not reelected because of dirty tricks? It is funny that you think that is the only way a democrat can lose office. The fact is, he voted against what his constituents thought were the best interests of his district..and paid the price.

Zell Miller was appointed as a senator by the GA governor to replace another democrat who died in office. Miller had been governor of GA himself and was probably the most popular politician ever in GA...on bith sides of the aisle. He was known as the "education Governor" because he instituted the GA Lottery and made sure that by law, every penny would go to education. It has poured a huge amount of funds into K-12 and allows any child in GA that graduates from high school with a B average to go to a state university for free.
