4.0 out of 5 stars Sad but true, July 19 2004

By

Z. D. Houghton (Indianapolis, IN) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: A National Party No More: The Conscience of a Conservative Democrat (Hardcover)

Zell Miller's book is a portrait of a man basically betrayed by what used to be a truly NATIONAL party. Instead, Miller shows us a Democratic party dominated by extremists, and hardly recognizable as the part of JFK.

Miller comes across as a man with values weary with disillusion. In that sense, this is one of the saddest and most touching politcal books I've ever read. It appears that there is no room left in the Democratic Party for a moderate or conservative viewpoint. Have we come so far now that liberal is synonomous with Democrat? Must you take the morally perilous road in order to placate your party?

Be he conservative Democrat, disillusioned Independent, Zell Miller and his book are a throwback to an earlier era where country and beliefs where held above fringe groups and the "nothing is wrong unless it's Christian, military, or pro-life in nature" mentality.

Where is there for a compassionate man who believes in a strong America, a moral party platform, and compassionate social system left to go?

By A Customer

This review is from: A National Party No More: The Conscience of a Conservative Democrat (Hardcover)

I have not read the book; and, thanks to the reviewers' descriptions, I'll most likely not purchase nor read it.
Hence, the neutral, 3-star rating.
A correction, though, to the first Spotlight Reviewer's comment on Senator Jeffords' switch: Jeffords is from Vermont, NOT New Hampshire. Please...give us SOME credit up here in NH.

4.0 out of 5 stars Washington establishment out of control, July 15 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: A National Party No More: The Conscience of a Conservative Democrat (Hardcover)

This is not a book about what is wrong with the Democratic party - it is about what has gone totally berserk with the Washington establishment bowing at the altar of special interest groups - both in the Democratic and Republican parties.

This is a book about moral values and standing up for what is right no matter what party you affilate with. And if you use these principles to govern by, things will generally turn out for the good.

But as long as out current Washington leadership (all of it) continues to march us along the path of socialism, we are going to continue see the degradation of our government and society as a whole.

Zell Miller did quite a lot for his state and his country so it's disappointing to find him writing a book whose main premise is essentially that all of the nation's ills are... Read more
