Summary: Zell stayed.....
Review: "If you hate the democratic party so much then leave".
As a conservative Republican, I can't agree with her more.
No matter how much you, Zell Miller, claim to have been dismayed and disheartened by your fellow Democrats, you still STAYED and your continued presence on their side of the aisle helped to empower them and helped them to achieve their left-wing agenda.
What were you thinking? That Americans who have sat back in horror at what has gone on in Washington would "understand" your "loyalty"?
There are plenty of us Southerners who were born and bred as democrats but, God knows, we don't "do that' any more.
You are leaving office without the respect of either party.
The Democrats don't respect you; the conservatives are glad you're leaving so someone better can replace you.

Summary: Retire already
Review: Once a respectable moderate, he has now turned into the lap dog of the right wing. I wonder how much money he is getting under the table for two timing his politcal party

Summary: Spoken like a true Marine
Review: As a former Marine and life long Republican I have often sworn never to vote for a Democrat. If Zell were to run I would eat those words. He is a Marine, he is an American Patriot, and he has a deep conviction of right and wrong. These Fine Qualities are looked upon with distain by today's Democrat Party and therefore alienate me as a voter. He addresses the dislike of anything not "pure to the Democrat way of "thinking" and of the Democrat party of tolerance for only that which they find tolerable. Zell Miller expresses the true meaning of "Semper Fidelis" Always Faithful. Faithful to his Convictions, Faithful to his Constituents, And Faithful to His Country. God, Country, Corps-Simple philosophies often Result in great men.

Summary: The conscience of a Democratic traitor
Review: As a Former Marine myself, and a proud Democrat, I must confess to a true dislike of Zell Miller. To us soldiers and us Irish, there is nothing worse then a traitor. Zell Miller fits that label to a tee. This book is the latest in a long line of Republican dribble, (along with similar trash from cowardly conservatives like Ann Coulter and Tucker Carlson)The difference is that this man CLAIMS to be a Democrat!He most certainly is not. In this book Miller spews the same GOP garbage as his Republican friends, this guy is so out of step with America and his own party, it is a disgrace that he calls himself a Democrat. By doing so and by writing this book, he proves himself to be a traitor to his own party. If he admitted to being a Republican, he would at least not be a traitor, but he would still be inferior.

Summary: If you hate this party so much, LEAVE!!
Review: To all the Zell Miller acolytes out there. There is a political party that embraces guns, is opposed to a woman's right to choose, is completely against protecting the environment, and has no problem with subsidizing big business. It's called the Republican Party. Zell Miller should have left the Democratic Party a long time ago. Ditto for these crackpots who want him to run for the Democratic nomination. I don't personally have a problem with Zell Miller, but isn't it logical that you belong to the political party that agrees to the majority of your views. If this country made any sense, a trade would be made where Zell Miller is traded to the Republicans, and Senator Lincoln Chaffee of Rhode Island is traded to the Democrats. Mathematically the Democratic Party can win the election without a single Southern state. If the Democratic nominee wins each state he won in 2000, and throw in New Hampshire (which Gore would have taken without Nader) along with West Virginia (it will be tough, but possible with the help of labor), then the Democrats will take back the White House. Personally I don't know if the Democratic Party will win in 2004, but I do know this. Either way, I will be celebrating knowing that Zell Miller will be out of office. GOOD RIDDANCE!!

Summary: The completely obvious attacks on Miller's book...
Review: Are sad. Pathetic really. They are so plainly from embittered hate filled liberals that can't stand the bright light of scrutiny and lash out when it shines....and this coming from a very liberal democrat. If you can't admit problems with your party or your "side" of the political battle, then you shouldn't keep up with politics...

Summary: Excellent
Review: I'n not an American and I'm wary of lecturing Americans on how to run their politics, but I've read a bit and travelled a bit so I hope you'll bear with me. It seems to me this is the work of a patriot of decent values who is shocked - with good reason - at what the Democrat Party has become with dreadful creatures like the perjurer, terrorist-appeaser and sex-maniac Clinton and his ilk. How could Americans elect a draft-dodger as commander-in-Chief of their armed forces? What a contrast to the party of Truman, or even the great American anti-totalitarian Labourist tradition epitomised by the AFL-CIO at its best! Of course in Australia we have had the same thing with a working-class party (I am a trade-union lawyer, by the way) taken over by freaks, weirdos, and counter-cultual nihilists who seem bent on wrecking civilized values. Today, in the new "clash of civilizations" they are just bizarre.Indeed looking at other English-speaking democracies like Britain, Canada, New Zealand, one can see the author of this book has identified a widespread and very serious political and cultural problem - the intellectual and moral decay and hi-jacking of formerly responsible and decent left-of-centre parties. The American Democrat Party, in my humble opinion, was once a very great party. I hope it will be again, and this is a guide-book in the right direction.

Summary: Zell is so far above all other today's Democrats
Review: What a great book. Zell Miller is perhaps the only Democrat Senator who still knows the difference between right and wrong, truth and fiction. More like some of the great Democrats of years past. It was a very refreshing read. No double-speak, no con-jobs, only passion, honesty and a little good-old-boy country humor came through. Zell Miller will be truly missed. If one likes political books and only can only afford to buy one, this is it.

Summary: Really
Review: Zell goes from revisionist historian to revisionist reality in short order. He criticizes the Democrats for abandoning the South without addressing the fact that in the last fifty years three of the four Democratic President were born in the South and in the last seventy years only one Republican President was born in the South.(Eisenhower) In fact Ike never carried Georgia. He never discusses the issue of Southern self-loathing. In fact a few weeks ago when asked to pick a conservative Democrat he ignored several conservative Southern Democrat and named a northern Democrat.
His view of Kennedy is nearly jaded. He claims Kennedy carried the south because he was a tax-cutter. Kennedy never campaigned on Tax cuts and only proposed one in 1962. He was assassinated before it passed. It was finally passed by Johnson in 1964 (a southern-born President) who lost the south in 1964.

Summary: Zig-Zag Zell
Review: Zell zigged when he should have zagged. He has degraced his state, his party, and most unforgivable, his constitutents. His book reads like an job application for a Republican policy promotion "think tank."
