WHY VOTING FOR ZELL MILLER WAS NEVER A MISTAKE: "We now have the biggest, most expensive federal government in history. Federal employees are thicker than maggots on a rotting carcass. So, why not start by abolishing vacant positions in every department except Defense and Homeland Security. Congress could set the example by cutting our own staff to show that we are willing to stop feeding the hungry beast. [We] need that tax-cutting Texan to also become a budget-cutting president. We need more members of Congress to decide that now is the time to cut taxes and at the same time tighten our belt. It's simple: Collect fewer dollars; spend fewer dollars." -- Sen. Zell Miller (D-Ga)

It's a shame that he never switched over to the Republicans...an even bigger shame he's leaving politics.
