Good: (D) Zell Miller
For anyone who doesn’t know who Zell Miller is – he’s a Democratic senator from Georgia who’s the head of “Democrats for Bush”. He’s the first guy in history to deliver the keynote speech at both a democratic and republican convention. In 92 he made quite a powerful speech for Bill Clinton and against Bush the elder and the Republicans with the theme that “they just don’t get it” and why America needed Bill in office. In August 04 he delivered an equally rousing speech for Dubya (must have been an awkward moment seeing the first Bush at the convention) with pretty much the theme of “they just don’t get it”, only this time he’s criticizing his own party. Miller says he was born a democrat and will die a democrat and will not switch his registration just because he’s voting for and supports president Bush & his policies on the war on terror.
Zell: “Media are trying to paint me as an angry nut”…
He wasn’t an angry nut. He was firm and just wore kindov a scowl through his delivery. Wutcha’ll think? I think it was one of the best speeches I’ve ever heard, ever.
Part 2:
> BAD: (R) Alan Keyes
Posted in the hawt-links below – Alan Keyes. The Republican nominee for senate in Illinois is quite the wacko.
Future Vice President and then President, Barack Obama said this amusing slam to/about Keyes:
I don’t think it’s unfair to base who a religious figure like Jesus might favor in a political election, but Keye’s answer her is not even close to the right way of going about it.
Update: Figured I’d post this too cuz it’s interesting. I wanted to add an example of him being crazy-bananas over something so naturally I searched for his positions on homosexuality. This clip isn’t crazy-bananas. I disagree with the opinion and think the non-opinion claim is probably factually wrong, but its not as nuttyfruitcakes as I expected so whatever. I’m including it. Don’t take that as me walking back anything about his sanity.
