Please continue to keep checking back to this page as we are constantly adding reviews. Summaries and Customer Reviews are supplied by Amazon.com With the growl of the Marine sergeant he was, Senator Zell Miller leaves no doubt that he believes his own Democratic Party is badly out of step with most of the country and needs to shape up or ship out. As part of a stinging critique of the Democratic Party, Miller outlines key positions on important issues that can again make the party relevant for the entire nation. From tax cuts to welfare, gun control to the environment, the arts to education, immigration to terrorism, Miller identifies values that make sense to a growing majority of Americans. Miller’s candid analysis of the campaigns of Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton further underscores his conclusion that the Democratic Party can no longer field a serious presidential challenge. Many party loyalists will not like what Senator Miller writes; yet his credentials are beyond question, for few Democrats have worked longer or stronger for the party and its candidates. Zell Miller has served in an elective office in each of the last six decades. When he left office as governor after two terms, he had an 85 percent approval rating, prompting the Washington Post to call him the most popular governor in the country. After getting to Washington, he became President Bush’s biggest Democratic supporter, but steadfastly refused to switch parties. A National Party No More is a firsthand account from the enigmatic senator who has confounded his Democratic colleagues. Driven by conscience and common sense, Senator Miller names the self-destructive direction of his party and stubbornly pulls the Democratic family toward reform. This is still in print???? | Customer Rating: | | The whole book was discredited in 2006; November 4, 2008 was the final nail in its coffin. It should be sold only for purposes of ridicule, in a 4-pack with "Dow 36,000," "Hilary vs. Condi: The Next Great Presidential Race," and "88 Reasons the Rapture Will Be in 1988." | ha | Customer Rating: | "Miller's candid analysis of the campaigns of Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton further underscores his conclusion that the Democratic Party can no longer field a serious presidential challenge."
Ha, ha, ha! Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. *wipes eyes* Ha... | book | Customer Rating: | | Very well written and informative. Good insight into the way our country is going. Too bad we don't have more people like Zell Miller. | A whine as a swan song | Customer Rating: | I couldn't be happier that Zell Miller is out of the US Senate.
And this was quite a vanity whine as a final word, or what I hope is his final word.
Like many swan songs by overbearing political types, and media gasbags, Miller tells a series of shaded or half-truths to convince the reader that everything has gone sideways, and that GOP = Good, Democrats = Bad.
I think a more accurate portrayal of the truth inside the Beltway is politicians (including Miller) = bad. | Not Afraid to Speak His Mind | Customer Rating: | Regardless of what one thinks of Zell Miller, no one can argue that he's not afraid to speak his mind regardless of the toes he steps on!
Senator Miller clearly states that the Democratic Party, once a great party of the people, has now become the puppet of elitist special interest groups. Indeed, when one remembers how Harry Truman and John Kennedy would compare to today's Democrats, Miller hits the nail on the head.
In the title Miller covers:
1. His days growing up in the Georgia mountains and the importance of family. 2. Days in the Marine Corps. 3. Running for both local and state offices. 4. Days as Georgia's governor. 5. Time as one of Georgia's senators. 6. Relationships with Presidents Bush, Clinton, and Carter. 7. Relationships with various Democrat leaders (Mondale, Pelosi,John Lewis, etc.). 8. Views on various issues.
Whether you love or late Zell, you have to admire his guts! Read and enjoy what he thinks of a once great political party (and all you liberals out there, I am not a die hard Republican). Highly recommended! |
