I have to do a little more homework but is it true that Zell Miller served three terms as Lieutenant Govenor under Lester Maddox - known as one of the most racist govenors of his time?
Maddox on America:
"That's part of American greatness, is discrimination. Yes, sir. Inequality, I think, breeds freedom and gives a man opportunity "
Zell Miller on Lester Maddox, 2003:
"He sought public office three times before finally winning an election, but his first victory was for an office he cherished. It took the state constitution, the United States Supreme Court and the Georgia General Assembly to do it, but Lester Maddox finally made it. Georgia is a better state for it "
And gee...it looks like Miller's disdain for the Democrats came about after advisors publically urged Gore to choose Miller as his running mate - which he didn't. Is there a motive here?
Nothing is done without motivation, even your post. The real question is whether or not you conceive validity in his statements toward Kerry, Kerry's voting record, and the direction in which he believes Kerry will take the country based on how Miller portrays his "friend" of many years...
