Ok next time we need to PUNISH the Zell Miller's and Ed Kotch's!!
Or starting now. I understand that the Democrats are a party of open ideas and I love that about us and its hard not to look like a hypocrite and go after people who are democrats that disagree with the party yet still hold those open ideas as a cornerstone of the party.
But Enough IS Enough!
I'm not saying that Zell Millers GOP convention speech and Ed Kotch making the rounds supporting Bush and bashing Kerry and the Democrats were the main reason that Kerry Lost..But it sure didn't help! They have been touting that they are democrats all the while sticking as many knives in Kerry and the Democrats back that they can find and frankly I'm sick of it.
The Democrats should have told crazy Zell if you go on that stage of the GOP convention and give a keynote speech we will destroy you. No if ands or but's. We will use any means necessary to make your legacy nothing, we will attack you on the airwaves daily. You can make the speech Zell, but if you call yourself a Democrat OR if we hear anyone call you that with your permission we will go after you with no mercy. And the Same with Ed Kotch. ONCE they started with thire unwavering support of Bush and Attacking Democrats and Kerry, they were no longer in the Democratic party. The GOP successfully used them as moderate democratic poster boys and the Democrats did nothing and it hurt us.
This was political war and we lost. Its time to lick our wounds and come back and make damn sure we stop those like Miller and Kotch in thire tracks next time. We need more party unity and those within who wish to sabotage should be thrown out!
Miller and Kotch's adgenda was just that, Sabotage from within.
What have we got to lose? Let the right wingers cry like they always do but we really need to play harder ball if we want to beat them.

1. I tended to believe the message Zell Miller brought but hated the
evil two timing back stabbing messenger.

2. I really felt that the Democrats were too soft on Zell and Kotch
They let the GOP put a democratic face on those who supported Bush. It really hurt us I thought..even before Nov 2
