Carter Calls Miller's GOP Speech Disloyal
Former President Jimmy Carter is accusing fellow Georgia Democrat Zell Miller of "unprecedented disloyalty" for the senator's speech at the Republican convention. In a letter sent over the weekend, Carter also called Miller's speech "rabid and mean-spirited."Don't remind anyone of how I sat next to Michael Moore during the Dem convention. That would shoot all kinds of holes in my argument. "By now, there are many of us loyal Democrats who feel uncomfortable in seeing that you have chosen the rich over the poor, unilateral pre-emptive war over a strong nation united with others for peace, lies and obfuscation over the truth and the political technique of character assassination as a way to win elections or to garner a few moments of applause," Is he the one in the early stages of Alzheimer's? Carter's office declined to release the letter Tuesday, but Miller's office confirmed the contents. Miller responded Tuesday by repeating his contention, made in the convention speech last week, that the security of his family outweighed any loyalty to the party where he has spent a lifetime. Enjoy a cheeseburger or two with Michael Moore. While you are at it, talk about the relevancy of your Nobel Peace Prize. Posted by: BigEd 2004-09-08 |
