Y'all might not have noticed it, but an earthquake hit the enemies of freedom, also known as the democrat party this week. Senator Zell Miller, D-Georgia has come out and announced his support of President Bush for re-election. More telling still, Miller stated that he wouldn't trust any of the nine democrat presidential candidates with the security of the country. Next week, Miller's book is set to hit the shelves, the title? A National Party No More: The Conscience of a Conservative Democrat. The funny thing is that the mob over at democraticunderground is screaming for his head. Nice folks those leftists, such an appreciation of free speech. When a respected member of their party speaks out, trying to show the party that it is catering to special interests and anti-American forces they howl for his head. Some of the tolerant masses over at DU actually have suggested that IMPEACHED ex-president Clinton approach Miller and tell him to leave the party. Yep, thats the party of inclusion all right, unless you happen to be a conservative.

Speaking of which, Miller is not all that conservative. His lifetime rating from the American Conservative Union a moderate 54. But there is no room for moderation in the democrat party. No, they want Miller's head served on a platter. What the democrats fail to realize is that by throwing away the South, they throw away any hope for victory next year. You cannot ignore, abuse and amuse yourself at the expense of 1/3 of the country without suffering political implications. In the last 25 years, the democrats have reaped what they have sown and the once solidly democrat South is now firmly in Republican hands and will remain so for the forseeable future. The democrats continue to place their hopes in the dream of IMPEACHED ex-president Clinton leading them to prominence again. Why is beyond me because since Clinton was elected in 1992:

- GOP seats gained in House since Clinton became president: 60

- GOP seats gained in Senate since Clinton became president: 11

- GOP governorships gained since Clinton became president: 14

- GOP state legislative seats gained since Clinton became president: c. 500
- Democratic officeholders who have become Republicans since Clinton became president: 439

- Republican officeholders who have become Democrats since Clinton became president: 3

Clearly, the United States as a whole is becoming more conservative. Clinton was elected twice true, but never did he recieve a majority of the vote and it can be argued that were it not for Perot, Bush Sr. would have won a second term. The left has poisoned our culture, our society and our politics for too long and Americans are beginning to understand that the way to defeat the insidious forces arrayed against us is to elect Republicans. If those Republicans who are elected fail to uphold their oath to defend the Constitution and fail to serve their constituents well, then they too should be shown the door as mercilessly as any democrat. I for one hope and pray that the democrats continue to ignore the warnings of moderate democrats like Miller and Ben Nelson of Nebraska. More and more the democrats will represent only large cities and some border areas. The remainder of the country will become more and more Republican. If you doubt me, take another look at the 2000 election map. Remember Bush Country? Well I'm happy to live in it. Now if we could just discard that pesky Harry Reid.
