This morning on Meet the Press, Tim Russert asks Miller what changed--you might recall that the alleged Democrat is speaking at the Republican convention.
Miller replied that "The Democratic party has changed."
Right, Zell. It's gotten more conservative since 9/11. We have two candidates running on the Democratic ticket who both voted for a pre-emptive war in Iraq.
What exactly about the Democratic Party has changed then? How has it moved further to the left? The truth is the Republican party has moved further to the right, following the "values" of the religious right. "Values"--yes, that's the word Miller is harping on about right now (on NBC). And he's now mentioning gay marriage and complaining that he can't imagine why the Democratic party wouldn't vote to support a constitutional amendment to "protect marriage."
Ah, so this is what it's all about then. Obviously, Miller is no progressive. He wants to follow the out-moded, repressive and increasingly indefensible "values," which his party is finally shrugging off. And, as usual it's the GOP that's hanging on to them for grim death. So that's where he's got to go. Into the arms of the Republican party.
So why doesn't he?
Senator Miller, please, please, let's just get it over and done with. Please, just come out of the closet and change your party affiliation. You'll feel better. We'll feel better. We'll all feel better.
