NEW GROUP TO SUPPORT BUSH
By Tweed
In a campaign marked by the existence of groups such as Conservatives for Kerry, Republicans for Kerry and Firefighters for Kerry, George Bush has stepped up with his own boutique support group: Quislings for Bush.
Quislings for Bush includes such luminaries as Senator Zell Miller (D - Georgia), former Georgia Governor, Zell Miller (D), former Georgia Lte. Governor, Zell Miller (D) and former history professor, Zell Miller. The group does not boast a robust membership, but the RNC has decided on member Senator Zell Miller (D - Georgia) as the Republican Convention Keynote Speaker.
"I'm honored and flattered to be speaking at the 1968 Republican Convention," said Senator Miller, "and hope we can finally solve the pesky negro problem."
The Bush administration has pointed to support from the likes of Senator Miller as evidence of the bipartisanship he has been able to conjure in Washington. "I'm from Texas and Zellig, that's what I call him, Zellig, he's come from Georgian - not the Russian kind but the American kind. And he's part of the opposition and I'm not. And we say in Texas, and I think we say it in Georgia too, you know that the friends of my enemy of my friend is my friend's enemy's enemy - and we don't have any enemies, just opponents and he's not one of them."
Miller With Another Former Democrat
Miller says his goal is to make the Democratic Party (which has won a plurality of the popular vote and likely the Electoral College, every year since 1992) a national party once again.
"What you have," says Miller, "is a regional Democratic Party facing off with a National Republican Party." Miller notes the strength shown by the Republican Party in such diverse states as Alabama and Idaho as opposed to Democratic strength being limited to New England, the Northeast, the upper mid-west and the Pacific Coast.
