For which Democratic party of old does Zell Miller pine?

[FlashHarry]

Does he pine for the old "tax-and-spend" liberal party of the seventies and eighties? Or does he pine for the racist Dixiecrat party of the sixties and before? I mean, really, what is this traitor doing?

1. I think you know the answer to that one.

[rucky]

2. Oh I wish I were in the land of cotton... n/t

3. Racist Dixiecrats

"Kept them uppity Nigras in their place, you know."

:puke: :puke:

4. Other...

The Republican party.

5. The way Republicans are spending like drunken sailers, it could be either.

Maybe THAT'S why he's now a Republican. He hated the Clinton years of smaller deficits and slow growth in govt spending, and longs for the LBJ years of big new govt spending programs.

Actually, I think it's Dixie.

6. The Dixiecrats Have Been Replaced

by the Republican party in its present incarnation. The racist vote has switched allegiance, so why doesn't Zell Miller just get it over with and switch party affiliation?

7. The guy should be the Imperial Grand Wizard

of the KKK. But that might upset some of the fundy American Taliban. Don't want to mix wizardry with superstition.

[Fenris]

8. The Party of James Buchanan.

9. Zell is a self-professed "Jeffersonian"

meaning the less government the better and states rights--in short, the Dixiecrat Democratic party agenda.

10. The one the DLC keeps telling us we need.

You know, the "middle of the road", "centrist", "gotta' have the south", "go slow", "we're not liberals" DemoPub Party, that's not quite as republican as the republicans.

[Walt Starr]

11. The same one that produced

the "Dixiecrats".

12. I thought they all went 'Puke in the 50s and 60s

Like Strom Thurmond and Jesse Helms (not to mention Saint Ronaldvs Reaganvs).
