Miller at RNC
2004-09-01
Questioning John Kerry's leadership and his own party's judgment, Democratic Sen. Zell Miller on Wednesday endorsed four more years for President Bush during a prime-time speech at the Republican National Convention. "I ask which leader it is today that has the vision, the willpower, and yes, the backbone to best protect my family?" Miller, D-Ga., said in prepared excerpts from his keynote speech. "The clear answer to that question has placed me in this hall with you tonight. For my family is more important than my party." This comes from the same Southern Democrat that in 1992 said in a keynote speech at the Democratic National Convention that President George H.W. Bush "doesn't get it" and that 12 years of Republicans in the White House "have robbed us of our hope."
Odd, how people change that way

But Miller said the current President Bush is the right man for the future. "Right now the world cannot afford an indecisive America," Miller said. "Fainthearted self-indulgence will put at risk all we care about in this world. In this hour of danger our president has had the courage to stand up. And this Democrat is proud to stand up with him."

Republicans hoped Miller's speech would prove to undecided voters and maybe some conservative Democrats that Kerry is too liberal for them. Miller "will give voice to a lot of those voters," Republican National Committee Chairman Ed Gillespie said in advance of the prime-time address Wednesday.
