The only good thing that I can say about Miller is that he's finally retiring.

I support Bush from time to time, does that make me Conservative? Obviously not. A Libertarian can agree with a Conservative or Liberal extremist half the time. The other half, they're ready for the fisticuffs, hickory cane beatings and brickbat tossings. So it's not a fact...
The thing is, the Democratic Republican party of the South was once highly Conservative in nature. That Miller is a Conservative (along with the likes of Toby Keith, a fellow Southerner) while being a Democrat shouldn't confound you. Knowing that the Southern Democrat Party later ran on a Pro-Slavery ticket shouldn't confound you either. That this same party was the principle backer of Jim Crow laws, especially banning blacks from possessing firearms...Well, you get the picture.
Certainly the Democrats are willing to call him a racist for having worked for Lestor Maddox, even though the guilt-by-association charge they're levelling is pretty much bullshit.
He doesn't 'betray' anyone. He's a registered Democrat yes, but his loyalties to the DNC and the Poodle come second to his loyalties to the nation. Furthermore, while Bush may have his own tarnished record, at least we know what the hell he's going to do. Running on a bad platform or disagreeable platform is in some ways better than running on an ever-moving platform that merely shouts "I disagree!" without actually saying what you agree with, what you'll do...There's no good reason to elect Kerry, in my opinion...
Even if you're a hard-line Liberal, think of this, in 2008, who will the Republicans run? They're completely out of good candidacy.
