SubscribeSo why doesn't Miller just switch parties? He says that he was born a Democrat and considers his party label "like a birthmark." More likely he realizes that once he becomes a Republican he stops being interesting. As a Democrat, Miller is an entertaining man-bites-dog story, and a minor celebrity in GOP circles. As a Republican he's just another partisan hack.
My job tonight is an easy one: to present to you one of this nation's authentic heroes, one of this party's best-known and greatest leaders – and a good friend.
He was once a lieutenant governor – but he didn't stay in that office 16 years, like someone else I know. It just took two years before the people of Massachusetts moved him into the United States Senate in 1984.
In his 16 years in the Senate, John Kerry has fought against government waste and worked hard to bring some accountability to Washington.
Early in his Senate career in 1986, John signed on to the Gramm-Rudman-Hollings Deficit Reduction Bill, and he fought for balanced budgets before it was considered politically correct for Democrats to do so.
John has worked to strengthen our military, reform public education, boost the economy and protect the environment. Business Week magazine named him one of the top pro-technology legislators and made him a member of its "Digital Dozen."I'm looking for some nice easy-on, easy-off beach footwear. Anyone have any suggestions? Link's here, by the way.
In the summer of 1940, I was an 8-year-old boy living in a remote little Appalachian valley. Our country was not yet at war, but even we children knew that there were some crazy men across the ocean who would kill us if they could.he forgot to mention that Wilkie was a former Democrat who lost 449 - 82 to fdr, and later failed to win the '44 republican nomination.
President Roosevelt, in his speech that summer, told America "all private plans, all private lives, have been in a sense repealed by an overriding public danger."
In 1940, Wendell Wilkie was the Republican nominee.
And there is no better example of someone repealing their "private plans" than this good man. He gave Roosevelt the critical support he needed for a peacetime draft, an unpopular idea at the time.
And he made it clear that he would rather lose the election than make national security a partisan campaign issue.

the real Zell
I can't blame Zell too much for losing his temper and climbing all over Chris for interrupting him while he was trying to fumble his way through answering Chris' questions.
Face it, liberal boys and girls: YOU'VE FAILED.
John Kerry and George W. Bush remain tied in the race for president both among Americans registered to vote and among likely voters according to a nationwide survey from the American Research Group, Inc. (1)Paris, I understand your excitement, but the election is November 2. This months economic indicators have not been favorable and have followed a short, but definite trend away from the strong growth earlier in the year.
Its this simple: anybody who watched Miller's speech last night and thought it was good is a fascist in waiting. They might not know it yet, but they are. The contempt for democracy, the glorification of the military as the sole repository of our nations values, the contempt for people with different opinions - those are core fascist values.From here.
You know, it's arguably that even if Kerry didn't go after Bush on defense he would have lost.I repeat, the election is not over. Despite what you may believe, no one has been declared a winner yet.
But now, having taken the road that he has, he will likely lose in NovemberCan you give me any evidence that points to this? While BC04 have some momentum, there is no evidence that it will continue. The convention is not over, the President hasn't spoken and all signs point toward a dead heat at the moment.
and not even be a serious candidate in 2008.So, running neck and neck with an incumbent is not serious?
