Politics is the Second Oldest Profession and Bears Lots of Resemblence to the First

In 1992 Sen. Zill Miller gave the keynote speech to the DNC.

...and today he gave the Wednesday Evening Keynote at the RNC.

In 1992 Miller spoke against the Republican Party and George H. Bush who he said "just doesn't get it" with respect to jobs, healthcare, hope, taxes, and the needs of ordinary Americans. Tonight he was alloted fifteen minutes to address the gathering, and used it to promote three main themes: 1. He "knows" (and approves of) the character of G.W. Bush; 2. He chastises Sen. Kerry for voting against the development or funding for military systems; 3. And since his children are more important to him than anything else, and he considers G.W. Bush to be a better choice as President for his childrens sake, he came to the RNC to say so.

One wonders why Miller does not join the Republican party if he is so unenamored of the current Democratic Party. He and many other Georgia Republicans, including the current Governor, formerly were members of the the Democratic party for most of their political lives. Perhaps he realizes that were he to formally change parties, he would probably not even be selected as a delegate to the convention, let alone be invited to give a keynote address. If there is one thing politicians like Miller don't like, it's to be viewed as a politician without resolve.
