| Description | Zell Miller Blasts Fellow Democrat Kerry
The Honolulu Advertiser
Sen. Zell Miller, the Bush campaign's most famous Democratic attack dog, ripped into John Kerry Saturday as an "out-of-touch, ultraliberal from Taxachusetts" in a speech before Georgia Republicans. Miller, the lone Democratic senator publicly backing Bush, made the remarks in a Bush-Cheney grassroots event during the state Republican convention, where he was greeted as a hero. The Georgia Democrat said the nation is more secure with Bush in the White House.
He said Kerry deserves praise for his war record in Vietnam but declared his Senate voting record on national defense "shameful," saying Kerry voted "against every single major weapons system that won the Cold War. The man now wants to be the commander in chief of U.S. armed forces? U.S. forces armed with what, spitballs?"
Miller, who will be 73 next year, is not seeking re-election and he confirmed again following the speech that he is not changing parties. |
