Dem's start fighting back! (Zell Miller)

Letter in the AJC this morning from the previous state party chairman.
Good letter, read the whole thing if you get a minute.

Miller grows more like Maddox every day

Dear Zell,

snips...

"When people called you "Zig-Zag Zell," and said you had no fixed beliefs, I said your days damning the Civil Rights Act when you ran for Congress in 1964 and your years as Lester Maddox's chief of staff were just a misspent youth. I pointed to your political courage in trying to take the Confederate battle emblem off the state flag, even though you bowed to political expediency and backed down from that fight. "

"I got a little more concerned when your first major vote in the Senate was to gut labor regulations that would protect injured workers. I did wonder whether you'd spent too much time on the Southern Co. board and as a Philip Morris consultant when you worked against environmental and health regulations. "

"Now, with the hot political wind blowing from conservative networks, talk radio and corporate boardrooms, when it's become the fashion to bash the Democratic Party, you've joined in, writing a book betraying the people who stood behind every one of your campaigns --- not party activists, but hardworking Georgia families. You cast stone after stone at Democrats. Your silly, petty and often personal attacks remind me of no one more than your old boss, Lester Maddox."

"In your finest hour as governor, you said, "You cannot lead with a finger to the wind and an ear to the ground. It is an undignified position." Only now, as you teeter with your hindquarters in the air, do I fully understand how right you were."

Very truly,

DAVID WORLEY

David Worley, an Atlanta attorney, is the immediate past chairman of the Democratic Party of Georgia.

to go to Hell! And it's FREE! Just call the switchboard number and ask to be transfered to his office. Ask for other Dems offices to, and demand a condemnation. ASSHOLE! Why doesn't he just be honest for once and switch parties? With friends like him, you don't need enemies. And he does NOT speak for me! And I intend to call his office and say so.

that I didn't appreciate Zell speaking for me. He responded that he's not speaking for me, he's speaking for the people from Georgia. I replied that I have relatives in Georgia and I still deeply resent it, even being from California! A true rethug in Dem clothing. Zell, Go To Hell!

and protest. God, I just wish this hack would just get it over with and become a republican.

Not JUST Georgia. Because his words carry a lot farther than Georgia.

we can't complain because we are not from Georgia? He's on committees and his vote does effect all us Democrats.....who does this guy thiunk he is???? Throw his ass out...the sooner the better!!!

I hope the voters of Georgia issue more common sense than they did when they voted Cleland out of office. (Please, no offense to DU Georgians) That was a sad day for me and I don't even live in GA. Hopefully they will throw this bozo out on his ass!

We need a real Democrat to win this open Senate seat.

are pro-government bureaucracy, tax and spend Mondale Republicans!

create thousands of new government agencies, and tax our children trillions of dollars to pay for it.

for which I have usually respected him in the past.But now he IS following the party line...it's just not the party he is in!

I wouldn't have thought this about him in the past, but now I have to wonder if this isn't at least partly about him just trying to sell his new book.

I wish Max would run.
