the Washington Week crowd was like a bunch of drunks made to apologize for something - they loked so sad and bewildered by the RNC 3 day festival.

I absolutely am in love with Zell Miller. His speech was an A+ and his delivery was perfect. The safety and future of our country is at stake and he should "smile." Please!! He is a breath of fresh air and a national treasure.

Zell was outstanding. A lot of people who voted for Bush last time told me they were going with Kerry until they saw Zell speak. Now they are for Bush. A lot of people like the sound of a plain speaking man.

Please FReepmail me if you want on or off my infrequent ‘miscellaneous’ ping list.

The fallout is that more voters will go out for GWB. Zell's speech was momentus! I was standing up cheering in my bedroom. I still repeat the line in my head - "Against, Against, Against, And this man wants to be commander in chief of the US armed forces??? Armed with what - (You guys say the word).

I think I am going to download the speech on to my IPOD.

[dalebert]

Its worth the time to download. My entire family stood and gave Zell a big salute.

Fallout the MSM want fall out we out here in the hinterland like it when politicians are passionate and factual about what they are saying. We don't need stiff card board cutouts like Kerry or Al Gore. We don't need metrosexuals we need men. Not the kind of man that goes windsurfing and ride an $8000 bike. I will take a guy that knows how to kick ass. Somebody that will look me in the eye and say "I got your back" Not someone that would stick a knife in it like Kerry did in Viet Nam.

I am beside myself with these liberal cry baby sissies who are saying it was an angry speech. Most of the speech was a dedication to our troops for Gods sake and a reminder of history!!!!

I loved Zell and know for a fact that it moved many people. Look at the Luntz crowd after the speech. THEY LOVED IT OTHER THAN THE TWO LIBERAL C$^%.

[Nevermore]

I thought that the most shameless partisan was Mark "Panty" Shields on PBS, whose panties were in a twist over the "Spitballs" remark. He tried desparately to get acknowledgement that Zell lied, that Kerry did not vote for any Spitball Defense System. Apparently, wherever Mark went to school they never covered rhetorical questions. Others tried their best to explain that this was funny. I would have prefered to badger HIM until HE acknowledged that Zell asked a QUESTION: what DOES Kerry proposed to use for our defense? (I sure hope, for his sake, that DNC is paying him enough for his humiliation.)

This is why excerpts of Zell's speech, particularly the list of weapons Kerry voted agains, needs to be in a TV ad next week. Are you listening, RNC?

I didn't see the speech, but I'm seriously wishing I had. It sounds like Miller did a great job of highlighting F'in's pathetic positions on defense issues. Hey, since he wants this election to be more about Vietnam than Iraq and Afghanistan, two can play that game.

[John Lenin]

Who are these clowns fooling ? The MSM wrote about 2 articles on Zells speech right after the convention, they wrote 50 on Cheneys speech. It's become obvious that the truth is exactly the opposite of what the MSM says it is.

[FairOpinion]

If there is one speech you watch, it's Zell Miller's.

You can still see watch it at cspan.org. It's absolutely worth it. Just reading the trascript doesn't do it justice.

It's only about 15 minutes, but it's great!
