well, the democrats didn't wait one second until they unsheathed their long knives and began attacking Senator Zell Miller. But, one thing I don't think they fully calculated was the reaction from the right - a long and loud, very loud, collective sigh of relief and then gutteral yells as we ran to protect our friend.
Senator Miller stated last night, family is more important than the party. And what exactly, Senator, does that mean?
Oh, don't get me wrong, you and I know what that means - that question was for the liberals. They just don't get it. Their rhetoric, their hatred, their lies and their false accusations all become absolutely meaningless when contemplated with the option. THE OPTION.
Think about it, John Kerry and Terry McAuliffe. What difference will it make - even if the unbelievable happens, which it is not - if Kerry is elected and the next day...the next month...hell, even the next year...we are all obliterated. Okay, let's not be fatalistic. We are not ALL obliterated. New York is obliterated. Los Angeles is obliterated. Chicago is obliterated. Doesn't really matter where, the outcome would have the same effect no matter what the geographical location.
What difference would it make if we all had free socialistic health benefits if no one survived to take advantage of them? What difference would it make if everyone had a $2,000,000 per year job if no one survived to enjoy it?
Zell Miller's point has always been this - he is priortizing the reasons for voting for the candidate of choice in 2004 and that candidate is George W. Bush. Because for all the rhetoric, if our nation is not safe; if our people aren't protected - none of the rhetoric matters. None of it.
So, while the dems are reeling from Zell Millers fabulous speech last night, we need to remember one thing: they don't get it. While we might rejoice in the fact that Senator Miller finally gave a voice to all of our frustration and anger that has been building this last year, we cannot rest for ONE SECOND on our laurels. We need to be thankful for the shoring of our resolve...take a deep breath...and plunge forward. Get back into the fight. It is not over yet...but it is close.
