Miller Speaks Out Against Democrats, Kerry

I was watching the republican National Convention last night and I must say, If all Democrats believed the same things as Zell Miller, I'd have to swap sides, but the fact is that he is one of very few Democrats that are willing to expose Kerry and the rest of them for what they really believe in. There were some very great lines in his speech. Here were a few things I thought were great.

"Time after time in our history, in the face of great danger, Democrats and Republicans worked together to ensure that freedom would not falter. But not today. Motivated more by partisan politics than by national security, today's Democratic leaders see America as an occupier, not a liberator. And nothing makes this Marine madder than someone calling American troops occupiers rather than liberators."

"I could go on and on and on: Against the Patriot Missile that shot down Saddam Hussein's scud missiles over Israel, Against the Aegis air-defense cruiser, Against the Strategic Defense Initiative, Against the Trident missile, against, against, against."

"This is the man who wants to be the Commander in Chief of our U.S. Armed Forces? U.S. Forces armed with what? Spitballs? Twenty years of votes can tell you much more about a man than twenty weeks of campaign rhetoric. Campaign talk tells people who you want them to think you are. How you vote tells people who you really are deep inside. Senator Kerry has made it clear that he would use military force only if approved by the United Nations. Kerry would let Paris decide when America needs defending."

"For more than twenty years, on every one of the great issues of freedom and security, John Kerry has been more wrong, more weak and more wobbly than any other national figure. As a war protestor, Kerry blamed our military. As a Senator, he voted to weaken our military. And nothing shows that more sadly and more clearly than his vote this year to deny protective armor for our troops in harms way, far-away."


Zell Miller was incredible, and I can't wait to hear Bush speak tonight.
