Democratic Sen. Miller Backs Bush in 2004

WASHINGTON (AP/FOXNews) � Retiring Democratic Sen. Zell Miller has backed his horse in the 2004 presidential election � President Bush.

 

(ap) - For the Record, this story could not be found on the Wire, either yesterday, when it broke, nor today when I checked again.  I found this AP "affiliate" story at FOXNews... Surprise, surprise!  Had this been John "the Maverick McCain (R/D/?), throwing his hat in the ring for Howard Dean or Joe LIEberman, the AP would have been tripping over itself to get the story to the top of the Main Wire!  The same was true when comparing Robert T.A.W.N. Byrd's (D) blatantly Racist comments in his official capacity on the public airwaves, to that of Trent Lott's (R), "needs to be explained as Racist" comments, at a Birthday Party, and the one story coverage that Byrd (D) got, compared to the weeks of coverage that Lott got!  Hell, Newsweak even dug into Lott's (R) college days over the Birthday toast, and ran it as a cover story! Only one Wire story for the old KKK Grand Kleagle though... Lucky Byrd (D), I guess!  As for this Zell Miller story, we shall see what becomes of it.  In my opinion, it's an example of one of the FEW Honest elected DemocRATS (l)eft in Congress! - tha malcontent)

"The way I see it is, that these next five years are going to be crucial in determining what kind of world my grandchildren and great grandchildren live in, and I don't want to entrust that to any of these folks that are running out there on the Democratic side. I'm going to vote for George Bush," Miller said in a taped interview for Fox News' "Hannity & Colmes" show. 

Miller, the one-term senator from Georgia who has supported Bush on issues from Iraq to judicial nominees to tax cuts, said he doesn't plan to become a Republican, but he will back one against any of the nine Democrats seeking to unseat Bush.

 

(You mean he's not going to slap his Voters in the face, as Jimmy Jammy Jefffords (i) did, when he switched Parties shortly after he was elected as a (r)epublican, because Uncle Tom Dashole (D), promised him a Committee Chair if he did, thus handing the Senate over to the DemocRATS, outside of the Constitutional system provided to "the people"?... But I digress! - tha malcontent)

"I think that George Bush is the right man in the right place in the right time," the former governor said. "I think he's got some [Winston] Churchill in him. He understands the history of freedom. He knows where it came from, and he's not afraid to take sides. I loved him whenever he looked at the American people on Tuesday and said, 'We're not leaving [Iraq].'" 

When Miller announced his retirement in January, he said that he was going to stay out of political campaigns. But Wednesday's endorsement demonstrated that he has changed his mind.

 

(Maybe he is as sickened by his Party, as the majority of American's are! - tha malcontent) 

Miller said he would help Bush any way he can because "that's the kind of man I want in there as commander-in-chief."

 

(I think this may be Zell's last big "**** you!" to the old man in the Herd of Braying Jackasses, also known as the DemocRAT Party!  Nice job Senator!  If only there were more like you in Congress! - tha malcontent)

 

 

'Butterfly Ballots' May Have Confused

SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) � About 5,000 votes out of the 8.8 million cast in California's historic recall election might have been miscast because infamous "butterfly ballots" confused voters, pollsters said.

 

(ap) - Here is just one example of a Main Wire story that the AP felt was more pressing than a Zell Miller (D) endorsement for Bush (43).  The AP posted this story for one reason, and one reason only, they are still viscously bitter about the outcome of the 2000 elections, and they will NOT get over it, and moveon.org!  I am not interested in going over how shameless the DemocRATS were in 2000, either when they said their Voters were too stupid to understand the same ballot that the REPBULICans did not seem to have a problem with, nor do I intend on debating the outcome, because Bush (43) is running for re-election currently, and any debate about his being President is negated by that Fact!  Keep this in mind, Bush (43) received more votes than Clinton did in either of his election "wins", and in Clinton's first "win", he only received a measly 43%!  So the next time a Dishonest Liberal tells you that Bush (43) did not get a majority of the vote, you can tell them, that by comparison, Clinton didn't either!  That is all of the time I have for this DNC Talking Point, dry humping the original Founding Intent behind the First Amendment! - tha malcontent)

According to a study released Wednesday by Edison Media Research and Mitofsky International, paper ballots in 11 California counties had design flaws similar to those that prompted a recount in Florida's 2000 presidential election.

 

(Sorry, had to come back... This paragraph is why this story is on the Main Wire!  The AP can hardly go a day without somehow finding a way to inject the 2000 Presidential Election!  This is a non-story, and if the Associated Press was Honest, they would admit it!... Or never have ran it in the first place! - tha malcontent)

In those counties, ballots required voters to fill in an oval to select the candidate of their choice - and some of the more obscure entries among the 135 candidates running for governor apparently benefited from having their ovals near the names of front-runners.

The design flaw did not skew the outcome - Gov.-elect Arnold Schwarzenegger enjoyed a comfortable margin statewide.

"The issue here is that we're still using the same foolish ballots that caused such a fuss in Florida," said Warren Mitofsky, president of New York-based research firm.

In the counties that used optical scan equipment by Diebold Inc., three obscure candidates - Ronald Jason Palmieri, Jerry Kunzman and Randall D. Sprague - got far more votes than they got elsewhere.

Palmieri, who says he was the first openly gay Democratic candidate for governor of California, received 1.44 percent of votes in rural Tulare County - 36 times greater than the .04 percent of votes he won statewide, despite urging voters on his Web site not to elect him.

"I am hoping to convince you to vote intelligently and not waste your vote on those, such as me, who will never be elected," he wrote.

The candidates involved couldn't be reached for comment Wednesday afternoon, and officials at Diebold, based in North Canton, Ohio, did not immediately return calls requesting comment.

In Tulare, Fresno, Lassen, Humboldt, Santa Barbara, Kern, Modoc, San Joaquin, Siskiyou, Placer and San Luis Obispo counties, voters had to fill in an oval immediately to the left of the candidate's name.

The ovals next to Palmieri, Kunzman and Sprague were immediately to the right of Schwarzenegger, Democratic Lt. Gov. Cruz Bustamante, and Republican state Sen. Tom McClintock.

The study comes less than three weeks after researchers at Harvard University and the University of California-Berkeley said at least 380,000 ballots cast did not register a choice on the key question of whether to recall Gov. Gray Davis.

Most of those "lost" votes, which involved 4.6 percent of all ballots cast in the Oct. 7 recall, were cast on antiquated punch card machines, which make it easy for voters to skip certain questions or accidentally disqualify their vote by picking more than one response.
