"Decrying a federal government he says is out of control, former Georgia Gov. and U.S. Sen. Zell Miller said Thursday that America is “spending like we’re Paris Hilton.”
But the comparison to the blonde socialite might not be the worst offense in Miller’s litany of all that’s wrong with the country.
Speaking to more than 1,000 conservative - overwhelmingly Republican - lawmakers from around the country, Miller said, “Today, we’re spending like we’re Paris Hilton, regulating like we’re Ralph Nader, nationalizing like we’re Hugo Chavez, printing money like we’re the Weimar Republic and taxing like we’re, well, the Democratic Congress.”

Let’s not forget this one:
“Miller said Obama’s decision to try and close the Guantanamo Bay prison where suspected terrorists and enemy combatants are held, is “nuts.”
“This strange Obama sense of justice penalizes our civilians’ with their loss of freedom while rewarding the terrorists with new rights they never had before,” Miller said.”
Another zinger from Zell.
"Racism", "Fascist" and "Nazi" are all legitimate words with legitimate meaning...
They can be used, but if you just use them because they have derogatory power and not when any part of there real meaning applies then they become meaningless curse words that reflect on the user not the target...
Does any one on the left believe any one here would supports Obama ideas or actions if he was a different race? Would the left embrace our ideas if Obama had a conversion and started to profess ours?...
It's intellectual cowardliness on the lefts part to just scream racism when their ideas are challenged...it a retreat for the weak minded to scurry in and hide
I would add one exception. We may be spending as fast as Paris Hilton, but Paris Hilton spends her own money. The government spends MY money. Paris can do what she wants.
Oh how I miss [former] Senator Zell Miller (D-GA)! Now, HERE is a Democrat I could VOTE for! My Mom, during his address to the Republican Convention in 2004, said, “That’s what real Democrat’s used to sound like!” Wish we could coax him out of retirement... SOME Republicans NEED to hear him LOUD and CLEAR...

Of course she can.
As long as we are willing to “voluntarily” comply, the fed govt will borrow and spend as much as it desires using the taxpayer as collateral. We are chattel property belonging to the fed.gov.
The fed.gov has mortgaged our future beyond our ability to repay in a reasonable time. So prepare for increased taxation at a rate never before imagined. This administration, and this congress, has only just begun to plunder. I figure the health care bill will put the final nail in the coffin. There simply is no return.

Zell is chillin in his hometown of Young Harris in the north Georgia mountains. Most likely cruisin downtown in his pick’em up truck. I have been there, it’s a beautiful and friendly place to live and/or retire.
Every now and then, Zell comes out of the countryside to the city to make a statement. Like this one for example. We have come to appreciate his classic Zell zingers. True to his form, this one being his latest, has summed up our situation in classic Zell style.
Zero needs the glue on his backside and his mouth, and please save some for joe, another dufus who needs to shut the hell up!
“...and please save some for joe, another dufus who needs to shut the hell up!”
I disagree. Joe is cannon fodder. The more he speaks the more we learn just how challenged he is. Without doubt, our VP is a flake. I figure Hussein chose him for his incredible ability to express stupid. Since next to him, Hussein considers himself to be genius. So Hussein lowers the bar to appear brilliant in order to satisfy his self indulgent ego. And he is right. Meanwhile, Joe is too stupid to figure it out. He even admits he doesn’t understand why he was chosen when there were more qualified people.
Well Joe, so you know, you were chosen because you are stupid. And your stupidity makes Hussein look smart in the eyes of other idiots.
You are right, your take on this is excellent. I am not worthy, well done lord takenoprisoner.
Zell Miller may be a Democrat in name only, but Obama is an American in name only.
Thank you Tex Redhead. And good to hear from you. (You know you are never really an “ex” Texan, don’t you?) You are still ours in our hearts.
OMG! LOL! They will absolutely seize on that...
